Expand description

Value.

The type parameter M is the type of metadata attached to each syntax node (values, sub values and object keys). The metadata is derived from the locspan::Span of the node in the source document using the metadata builder function passed to the parsing function (see the Parse trait for more details).

Parsing

You can parse a Value by importing the Parse trait providing a collection of parsing functions.

Example

use json_syntax::{Value, Parse};
use locspan::{Meta, Span};

let value: Meta<Value<Span>, Span> = Value::parse_str("{ \"key\": \"value\" }", |span| span).unwrap();

You don’t need to specify the return type, here only shown to make it clear. Furthermore the MetaValue<Span> type alias can be used instead of Meta<Value<Span>, Span> to avoid repetition of the metadata type.

Comparison

This type implements the usual comparison traits PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd and Ord. However these implementations will also compare the metadata. If you want to do comparisons while ignoring ths metadata, you can use the locspan::Stripped type (combined with the locspan::BorrowStripped trait).

Example

use json_syntax::{Value, Parse};
use locspan::BorrowStripped;

let a = Value::parse_str("null", |_| 0).unwrap();
let b = Value::parse_str("null", |_| 1).unwrap();

assert_ne!(a, b); // not equals because the metadata is different.
assert_eq!(a.stripped(), b.stripped()); // equals because the metadata is ignored.

Printing

The Print trait provide a highly configurable printing method.

Example

use json_syntax::{Value, Parse, Print};

let value = Value::parse_str("[ 0, 1, { \"key\": \"value\" }, null ]", |span| span).unwrap();

println!("{}", value.pretty_print()); // multi line, indent with 2 spaces
println!("{}", value.inline_print()); // single line, spaces
println!("{}", value.compact_print()); // single line, no spaces

let mut options = json_syntax::print::Options::pretty();
options.indent = json_syntax::print::Indent::Tabs(1);
println!("{}", value.print_with(options)); // multi line, indent with tabs

Variants

Null

null.

Boolean(bool)

Boolean true or false.

Number(NumberBuf)

Number.

String(String)

String.

Array(Array<M>)

Array.

Object(Object<M>)

Object.

Implementations

Checks if the value is either an empty array or an empty object.

Alias for as_string.

Return the given value as an array, even if it is not an array.

Returns the input value as is if it is already an array, or puts it in a slice with a single element if it is not.

Recursively count the number of values for which f returns true.

Returns the volume of the value.

The volume is the sum of all values and recursively nested values included in self, including self (the volume is at least 1).

This is equivalent to value.traverse().filter(StrippedFragmentRef::is_value).count().

Recursively maps the metadata inside the value.

Tries to recursively maps the metadata inside the value.

Move and return the value, leaves null in its place.
