Methods

Decode from JSValue

toJSON :: a -> JSValueSource

Encode into JSValue

Instances

Parsing & Printing

parseJSON :: ByteString -> Either String JSValueSource

Parse JSON source. Returns JSValue (Right) if succeed, Returns Left if failed.

The input string should be UTF8-encoded. Unicode escapes (e.g. "\u266B") are encoded in UTF8 by the parser, so incompatibilities will arise if you try to use AttoJSON with other encodings.

showJSON :: JSValue -> ByteStringSource

Print JSValue as JSON source (not pretty).

The output string will be in UTF8 (provided the JSValue was constructed with UTF8 strings).

showJSON' :: JSValue -> ByteStringSource

Same as showJSON, but escape Unicode Charactors.

Manipulating Objects

lookup :: JSON a => ByteString -> JSValue -> Maybe aSource

Get the value for field in Object and decode it.

getField :: JSON a => ByteString -> JSValue -> Maybe aSource

DEPRECATED: Alias of lookup. Use lookup.

findWithDefault :: JSON a => a -> ByteString -> JSValue -> aSource

lookup with default value.

lookupDeep :: JSON a => [ByteString] -> JSValue -> Maybe aSource

Same as lookup but it can process nested Object. ex:

   lookupDeep ["user", "name"] (JSObject [("user", JSObject [("name", JSString "hoge")])]) == Just "hoge"

getFields :: JSON a => [ByteString] -> JSValue -> Maybe aSource

DEPRECATED: Alias of lookupDeep

findDeepWithDefault :: JSON a => a -> [ByteString] -> JSValue -> aSource

getFields with default value.

updateField :: JSON a => ByteString -> a -> JSValue -> JSValueSource

Update or Insert the value for field in Object.
