JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) library

include module type of Ezjsonm

Basic types

type value = [

| `Null
| `Bool of bool
| `Float of float
| `String of string
| `A of value list
| `O of (string * value) list

]

JSON fragments.

type t = [

| `A of value list
| `O of (string * value) list

]

Well-formed JSON documents.

val value : t -> value

Cast a JSON well-formed document into a JSON fragment.

val wrap : value -> [> t ]

wrap v wraps the value v into a JSON array. To use when it is not possible to statically know that v is a value JSON value.

val unwrap : t -> value

unwrap t is the reverse of wrap. It expects t to be a singleton JSON object and it return the unique element.

Reading JSON documents and values

val from_channel : Pervasives.in_channel -> [> t ]

Read a JSON document from an input channel.

val from_string : string -> [> t ]

Read a JSON document from a string.

val value_from_channel : Pervasives.in_channel -> value

Read a JSON value from an input channel.

val value_from_string : string -> value

Read a JSON value from a string.

val value_from_src : Jsonm.src -> value

Low-level function to read directly from a Jsonm source.

Writing JSON documents and values

val to_channel : ?minify:bool -> Pervasives.out_channel -> t -> unit

Write a JSON document to an output channel.

val value_to_channel : ?minify:bool -> Pervasives.out_channel -> value -> unit

Write a JSON value to an output channel.

val value_to_buffer : ?minify:bool -> Buffer.t -> value -> unit

Write a JSON value to a buffer.

val value_to_string : ?minify:bool -> value -> string

Write a JSON value to a string. This goes via an intermediate buffer and so may be slow on large documents.

val value_to_dst : ?minify:bool -> Jsonm.dst -> value -> unit

Low-level function to write directly to a Jsonm destination.

Constructors

val unit : unit -> value

Same as `Null.

val bool : bool -> value

Same as `Bool b.

val string : string -> value

Same as `String s.

val strings : string list -> [> t ]

Same as `A [`String s1; ..; `String sn].

val int : int -> value

Same as `Float (float_of_int i).

val int32 : int32 -> value

Same as `Float (Int32.to_float i)

val int64 : int64 -> value

Same as `Float (Int64.to_float i)

val float : float -> value

Some as `Float f.

val list : ('a -> value) -> 'a list -> [> t ]

Build a list of values.

val option : ('a -> value) -> 'a option -> value

Either `Null or a JSON value.

val dict : (string * value) list -> [> t ]

Build a dictionnary.

val pair : ('a -> value) -> ('b -> value) -> ('a * 'b) -> [> t ]

Build a pair.

val triple : 
  ('a -> value) ->
  ('b -> value) ->
  ('c -> value) ->
  ('a * 'b * 'c) ->
  [> t ]

Build a triple.

Accessors

exception Parse_error of value * string

All the following accessor functions expect the provided JSON document to be of a certain kind. In case this is not the case, Parse_error is raised.

val get_unit : value -> unit

Check that the JSON document is `Null.

val get_bool : value -> bool

Extract b from `Bool b.

val get_string : value -> string

Extract s from `String s.

val get_strings : value -> string list

Extract s1;..;sn from `A [`String s1; ...; `String sn].

val get_int : value -> int

Extract an integer.

val get_int32 : value -> int32

Extract a 32-bits integer.

val get_int64 : value -> int64

Extract a 64-bits integer.

val get_float : value -> float

Extract a float.

val get_list : (value -> 'a) -> value -> 'a list

Extract elements from a JSON array.

val get_option : (value -> 'a) -> value -> 'a option

Extract an optional document.

val get_dict : value -> (string * value) list

Extract the elements from a dictionnary document.

val get_pair : (value -> 'a) -> (value -> 'b) -> value -> 'a * 'b

Extract the pair.

val get_triple : 
  (value -> 'a) ->
  (value -> 'b) ->
  (value -> 'c) ->
  value ->
  'a * 'b * 'c

Extract the triple.

High-level functions

val mem : value -> string list -> bool

Is the given path valid if the provided JSON document.

val find : value -> string list -> value

Find the sub-document adressed by the given path. Raise Not_found if the path is invalid.

val update : value -> string list -> value option -> value

Update the sub-document addressed by the given path. If the provided value is None, then removes the sub-document.

val map : (value -> value option) -> value -> string list -> value

Apply a given function to a subdocument.

val encode_string : string -> value

Convert a (possibly non-valid UTF8) string to a JSON object.

val decode_string : value -> string option

Convert a JSON object to a (possibly non-valid UTF8) string. Return None if the JSON object is not a valid string.

val decode_string_exn : value -> string

Convert a JSON object to a (possibly non-valid UTF8) string.

val to_sexp : value -> Sexplib.Type.t

Convert a JSON fragment to an S-expression.
