atdgen-runtime

Runtime library for code generated by atdgen
Library atdgen-runtime
Module Atdgen_runtime . Json_adapter
module type S = sig ... end

Module signature required of any json adapter. For example, an ATD annotation <json adapter.ocaml="Atdgen_runtime.Json_adapter.Type_field" refers to the OCaml module Atdgen_runtime.Json_adapter.Type_field.

module Type_field : sig ... end

Support for json objects that contain a field that indicates the type of that object. The following

Alternatively, function-based definition of the JSON adapter is supported. For example, an ATD annotation <json adapter.to_ocaml="Atdgen_runtime.Json_adapter.normalize_type_field \"type\"" adapter.from_ocaml="Atdgen_runtime.Json_adapter.restore_type_field \"type\""> specifies two functions Yojson.Safe.t -> Yojson.Safe.t and in this case functionally equivalent to <json adapter.ocaml="Atdgen_runtime.Json_adapter.Type_field".

The form could be useful though, when more specific per-type data processing is needed and defining the new module for each case could become cumbersome.

val normalize_type_field : string -> Yojson.Safe.t -> Yojson.Safe.t

Normalize JSON representation, as specified in Type_field

val restore_type_field : string -> Yojson.Safe.t -> Yojson.Safe.t

Restore JSON representation, as specified in Type_field

module One_field : S

Support for objects with a single field whose name indicates the type of the value. For instance,

module Type_and_value_fields : sig ... end

Support for the retired tag_field feature. This converts the following
