generic-json 0.7.0

//! JSON is an ubiquitous format used in many applications.
//! There is no single way of storing JSON values depending on the context,
//! sometimes leading some applications to use multiples representations of JSON values in the same place.
//! This can cause a problem for JSON processing libraries that should not care about the actual internal representation of JSON values,
//! but are forced to stick to a particular format,
//! leading to unwanted and costly conversions between the different formats.
//!
//! This crate abstracts the JSON data structures defined in different library dealing with JSON such as `json`, `serde_json`, etc.
//! The goal is to remove hard dependencies to these libraries when possible,
//! and allow downstream users to choose its preferred library.
//! It basically defines a trait `Json` and a `ValueRef` type abstracting away the implementation details.
//!
//! The `Json` trait must be implemented by the JSON value type
//! and defines what opaque types are used to represent each component of a JSON value.
//! It also provides a function returning the value as a `ValueRef` enum type.
//! Its simplified definition is as follows:
//! ```rust
//! # pub struct ValueRef<'a, T>(std::marker::PhantomData<&'a T>);
//! /// JSON model.
//! pub trait Json: Sized + 'static {
//!     /// Literal number type.
//!     type Number;
//!
//!     /// String type.
//!     type String;
//!
//!     /// Array type.
//!     type Array;
//!
//!     /// Object key type.
//!     type Key;
//!
//!     /// Object type.
//!     type Object;
//!
//!     /// Returns a reference to this value as a `ValueRef`.
//!     fn value(&self) -> ValueRef<'_, Self>;
//!
//!     /// Metadata type attached to each value.
//!     type MetaData;
//!
//!     fn metadata(&self) -> &Self::MetaData;
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `ValueRef` exposes the structure of a reference to a JSON value:
//! ```rust
//! # use generic_json::Json;
//! pub enum ValueRef<'v, T: Json> {
//!     Null,
//!     Bool(bool),
//!     Number(&'v T::Number),
//!     String(&'v T::String),
//!     Array(&'v T::Array),
//!     Object(&'v T::Object)
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! In the same way, this crate also defines a `ValueMut` type for mutable references.
//! This allows each implementor to have their own inner representation of values while allowing interoperability.
//!
//! ## Foreign implementations
//!
//! This library optionally provides implementations of the `Json` trait for
//! the following foreign types, enabled by their associated feature.
//!
//! | Type                                                                          | Feature gate      |
//! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|
//! | [`serde_json::Value`](https://docs.serde.rs/serde_json/value/enum.Value.html) | `serde_json-impl` |
//! | [`ijson::IValue`](https://docs.rs/ijson/latest/ijson/struct.IValue.html)      | `ijson-impl`      |
//!
//! ## Trait aliases
//!
//! When the `nightly` feature is enabled,
//! this crate also defines some trait aliases that define common
//! requirements for JSON data types.
//! For instance the `JsonClone` trait alias ensures that every component
//! of the JSON value implements `Clone`.
