Module `Yojson.Raw`Source

Ints, floats and strings literals are systematically preserved using `Intlit, `Floatlit and `Stringlit. This module also supports the specific syntax for variants and tuples supported by Yojson.Safe.

Type of the JSON tree

Sourcetype json = [

| `Null
| `Bool of bool
| `Intlit of string
| `Floatlit of string
| `Stringlit of string
| `Assoc of (string * json) list
| `List of json list
| `Tuple of json list
| `Variant of string * json option

]

All possible cases defined in Yojson:

`Null: JSON null
`Bool of bool: JSON boolean
`Int of int: JSON number without decimal point or exponent.
`Intlit of string: JSON number without decimal point or exponent, preserved as a string.
`Float of float: JSON number, Infinity, -Infinity or NaN.
`Floatlit of string: JSON number, Infinity, -Infinity or NaN, preserved as a string.
`String of string: JSON string. Bytes in the range 128-255 are preserved as-is without encoding validation for both reading and writing.
`Stringlit of string: JSON string literal including the double quotes.
`Assoc of (string * json) list: JSON object.
`List of json list: JSON array.
`Tuple of json list: Tuple (non-standard extension of JSON). Syntax: ("abc", 123).
`Variant of (string * json option): Variant (non-standard extension of JSON). Syntax: <"Foo"> or <"Bar":123>.

JSON writers

Sourceval to_string : ?buf:Bi_outbuf.t -> ?len:int -> ?std:bool -> json -> string

Write a compact JSON value to a string.

parameter buf
allows to reuse an existing buffer created with Bi_outbuf.create. The buffer is cleared of all contents before starting and right before returning.

parameter len
initial length of the output buffer.

parameter std
use only standard JSON syntax, i.e. convert tuples and variants into standard JSON (if applicable), refuse to print NaN and infinities, require the root node to be either an object or an array. Default is false.

Source

val to_channel : 
  ?buf:Bi_outbuf.t ->
  ?len:int ->
  ?std:bool ->
  out_channel ->
  json ->
  unit

Write a compact JSON value to a channel.

parameter buf
allows to reuse an existing buffer created with Bi_outbuf.create_channel_writer on the same channel. buf is flushed right before to_channel returns but the out_channel is not flushed automatically.

See to_string for the role of the other optional arguments.

  ?len:int ->
  ?std:bool ->
  < output : string -> int -> int -> int.. > ->
  json ->
  unit

Write a compact JSON value to an OO channel.

parameter buf
allows to reuse an existing buffer created with Bi_outbuf.create_output_writer on the same channel. buf is flushed right before to_output returns but the channel itself is not flushed automatically.

See to_string for the role of the other optional arguments.

JSON readers

Source

val from_string : 
  ?buf:Bi_outbuf.t ->
  ?fname:string ->
  ?lnum:int ->
  string ->
  json

Read a JSON value from a string.

parameter buf
use this buffer at will during parsing instead of creating a new one.

parameter fname
data file name to be used in error messages. It does not have to be a real file.

parameter lnum
number of the first line of input. Default is 1.

Source

val from_channel : 
  ?buf:Bi_outbuf.t ->
  ?fname:string ->
  ?lnum:int ->

This alias is provided for backward compatibility. New code should refer to Yojson.lexer_state directly.

Source

val init_lexer : 
  ?buf:Bi_outbuf.t ->
  ?fname:string ->
  ?lnum:int ->
  unit ->
  lexer_state

This alias is provided for backward compatibility. New code should use Yojson.init_lexer directly.

Sourceval from_lexbuf : lexer_state -> ?stream:bool -> Lexing.lexbuf -> json

Read a JSON value from a lexbuf. A valid initial lexer_state can be created with init_lexer. See from_string for the meaning of the optional arguments.

The type of values resulting from a parsing attempt of a JSON value.
