Function serializeToJson

The following types of values are supported:

Json

Used as-is

null

Converted to Json.Type.null_

bool

Converted to Json.Type.bool_

float, double

Converted to Json.Type.float_

short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong

Converted to Json.Type.int_

BigInt

Converted to Json.Type.bigInt

string

Converted to Json.Type.string

T[]

Converted to Json.Type.array

T[string]

Converted to Json.Type.object

struct

Converted to Json.Type.object

class

Converted to Json.Type.object or Json.Type.null_

All entries of an array or an associative array, as well as all R/W properties and all public fields of a struct/class are recursively serialized using the same rules.

Fields ending with an underscore will have the last underscore stripped in the serialized output. This makes it possible to use fields with D keywords as their name by simply appending an underscore.

The following methods can be used to customize the serialization of structs/classes:

Json toJson() const;
static T fromJson(Json src);

string toString() const;
static T fromString(string src);

The methods will have to be defined in pairs. The first pair that is implemented by the type will be used for serialization (i.e. toJson overrides toString).

Example

struct Foo {
	int number;
	string str;
}

Foo f;

f.number = 12;
f.str = "hello";

string json = serializeToJsonString(f);
assert(json == `{"number":12,"str":"hello"}`);
Json jsonval = serializeToJson(f);
assert(jsonval.type == Json.Type.object);
assert(jsonval["number"] == Json(12));
assert(jsonval["str"] == Json("hello"));
