newtype ParseT err m a

The type of parsers: things which consume JSON values and produce either detailed errors or successfully parsed values (of other types).

The err type parameter is for custom validation errors; for parsers that don't produce any custom validation errors, I recommend you just stick a type variable in for full generality:

    asTuple :: Parse e (Int, Int)
    asTuple = (,) <$> nth 0 asIntegral <*> nth 1 asIntegral

The m parameter allows you to run the parser within an abitrary underlying Monad. You may want to use Parse in most cases instead, and all functions in this module work on either.

Constructors

ParseT (ReaderT ParseReader (ExceptT (ParseError err) m) a)

Instances

Monad m => MonadReader ParseReader (ParseT err m)

MonadTrans (ParseT err)

Monad m => MonadError (ParseError err) (ParseT err m)

Monad m => Monad (ParseT err m)

Functor m => Functor (ParseT err m)

(Monad m, Functor m) => Applicative (ParseT err m)

type Parse err a = ParseT err Identity a

This is the standard version of ParseT over the Identity Monad, for running pure parsers.

runParseT :: ParseT err m a -> Value -> m (Either (ParseError err) a)

runParse :: Parse err a -> Value -> Either (ParseError err) a

mapParseT :: (ReaderT ParseReader (ExceptT (ParseError err) m) a -> ReaderT ParseReader (ExceptT (ParseError err') m') a') -> ParseT err m a -> ParseT err' m' a'

mapError :: Functor m => (err -> err') -> ParseT err m a -> ParseT err' m a

Transform the error of a parser according to the given function.

(.!) :: Functor m => ParseT err m a -> (err -> err') -> ParseT err' m a

An infix version of mapError.

type Parse' a = Parse Void a

The type of parsers which never produce custom validation errors.

runParserT :: Monad m => (s -> Either String Value) -> ParseT err m a -> s -> m (Either (ParseError err) a)

runParser :: (s -> Either String Value) -> Parse err a -> s -> Either (ParseError err) a

parseM :: Monad m => ParseT err m a -> ByteString -> m (Either (ParseError err) a)

Like parse but runs the parser on an arbitrary underlying Monad.

parse :: Parse err a -> ByteString -> Either (ParseError err) a

Run a parser with a lazy ByteString containing JSON data. Note that the normal caveat applies: the JSON supplied must contain either an object or an array for this to work.

parseStrictM :: Monad m => ParseT err m a -> ByteString -> m (Either (ParseError err) a)

Like parseStrict but runs the parser on an arbitrary underlying Monad.

parseStrict :: Parse err a -> ByteString -> Either (ParseError err) a

Run a parser with a strict ByteString containing JSON data. Note that the normal caveat applies: the JSON supplied must contain either an object or an array for this to work.

parseValueM :: Monad m => ParseT err m a -> Value -> m (Either (ParseError err) a)

Like parseValue but runs the parser on an arbitrary underlying Monad.

parseValue :: Parse err a -> Value -> Either (ParseError err) a

Run a parser with a pre-parsed JSON Value.

toAesonParser :: (err -> Text) -> Parse err a -> Value -> Parser a

This function is useful when you have a Parse err a and you want to obtain an instance for FromJSON a. Simply define:

   parseJSON = toAesonParser showMyCustomError myParser

toAesonParser' :: Parse' a -> Value -> Parser a

Take a parser which never produces custom validation errors and turn it into an Aeson parser. Note that in this case, there is no need to provide a display function.

fromAesonParser :: (Functor m, Monad m) => FromJSON a => ParseT e m a

Create a parser for any type, using its FromJSON instance. Generally, you should prefer to write parsers using the other functions in this module; key, asString, etc, since they will usually generate better error messages. However this function is also useful occasionally.

data ParseReader

Data used internally by the Parse type.

Constructors

ParseReader

Fields

rdrPath :: DList PathPiece

rdrValue :: Value

Instances

Monad m => MonadReader ParseReader (ParseT err m)

appendPath :: PathPiece -> ParseReader -> ParseReader

setValue :: Value -> ParseReader -> ParseReader

data PathPiece

Instances

Eq PathPiece

Ord PathPiece

Show PathPiece

data ParseError err

A value indicating that the JSON could not be decoded successfully.

Constructors

InvalidJSON String

Indicates a syntax error in the JSON string. Unfortunately, in this case, Aeson's errors are not very helpful.

BadSchema [PathPiece] (ErrorSpecifics err)

Indicates a decoding error; the input was parsed as JSON successfully, but a value of the required type could not be constructed, perhaps because of a missing key or type mismatch.

displayJSONType :: JSONType -> Text

displayError :: (err -> Text) -> ParseError err -> [Text]

A version of displayError for parsers which do not produce custom validation errors.

displayPath :: [PathPiece] -> Text

displaySpecifics :: (err -> Text) -> ErrorSpecifics err -> [Text]

perhaps :: (Functor m, Monad m) => ParseT err m a -> ParseT err m (Maybe a)

Given a parser, transform it into a parser which returns Nothing when supplied with a JSON null, and otherwise, attempts to parse with the original parser; if this succeeds, the result becomes a Just value.
