deriveJSON

Arguments

:: Options

Encoding options.

-> Name

Name of the type for which to generate ToJSON and FromJSON instances.

-> Q [Dec]

Generates both ToJSON and FromJSON instance declarations for the given data type.

This is a convienience function which is equivalent to calling both deriveToJSON and deriveFromJSON.

deriveToJSON

Arguments

:: Options

Encoding options.

-> Name

Name of the type for which to generate a ToJSON instance declaration.

-> Q [Dec]

Generates a ToJSON instance declaration for the given data type.

deriveJSONOptions :: String -> Options

class FromJSON a where

A type that can be converted from JSON, with the possibility of failure.

When writing an instance, use empty, mzero, or fail to make a conversion fail, e.g. if an Object is missing a required key, or the value is of the wrong type.

An example type and instance:

@{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

data Coord = Coord { x :: Double, y :: Double }

instance FromJSON Coord where parseJSON (Object v) = Coord <$> v .: "x" <*> v .: "y"

-- A non-Object value is of the wrong type, so use mzero to fail. parseJSON _ = mzero @

Note the use of the OverloadedStrings language extension which enables Text values to be written as string literals.

Instead of manually writing your FromJSON instance, there are three options to do it automatically:

• Data.Aeson.TH provides template-haskell functions which will derive an instance at compile-time. The generated instance is optimized for your type so will probably be more efficient than the following two options:
• Data.Aeson.Generic provides a generic fromJSON function that parses to any type which is an instance of Data.
• If your compiler has support for the DeriveGeneric and DefaultSignatures language extensions, parseJSON will have a default generic implementation.

To use this, simply add a deriving Generic clause to your datatype and declare a FromJSON instance for your datatype without giving a definition for parseJSON.

For example the previous example can be simplified to just:

@{-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-}

import GHC.Generics

data Coord = Coord { x :: Double, y :: Double } deriving Generic

instance FromJSON Coord @

Note that, instead of using DefaultSignatures, it's also possible to parameterize the generic decoding using genericParseJSON applied to your encoding/decoding Options:

instance FromJSON Coord where
    parseJSON = genericParseJSON defaultOptions

class ToJSON a where

A type that can be converted to JSON.

An example type and instance:

@{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

data Coord = Coord { x :: Double, y :: Double }

instance ToJSON Coord where toJSON (Coord x y) = object ["x" .= x, "y" .= y] @

Note the use of the OverloadedStrings language extension which enables Text values to be written as string literals.

Instead of manually writing your ToJSON instance, there are three options to do it automatically:

• Data.Aeson.TH provides template-haskell functions which will derive an instance at compile-time. The generated instance is optimized for your type so will probably be more efficient than the following two options:
• Data.Aeson.Generic provides a generic toJSON function that accepts any type which is an instance of Data.
• If your compiler has support for the DeriveGeneric and DefaultSignatures language extensions (GHC 7.2 and newer), toJSON will have a default generic implementation.

To use the latter option, simply add a deriving Generic clause to your datatype and declare a ToJSON instance for your datatype without giving a definition for toJSON.

For example the previous example can be simplified to just:

@{-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-}

import GHC.Generics

data Coord = Coord { x :: Double, y :: Double } deriving Generic

instance ToJSON Coord @
