Module vibe.data.json

JSON serialization and value handling.

This module provides the Json struct for reading, writing and manipulating JSON values. De(serialization) of arbitrary D types is also supported and is recommended for handling JSON in performance sensitive applications.

Example

void manipulateJson(Json j)
{
	import std.stdio;

	// retrieving the values is done using get()
	assert(j["name"].get!string == "Example");
	assert(j["id"].get!int == 1);

	// semantic conversions can be done using to()
	assert(j["id"].to!string == "1");

	// prints:
	// name: "Example"
	// id: 1
	foreach (key, value; j.byKeyValue)
		writefln("%s: %s", key, value);

	// print out as JSON: {"name": "Example", "id": 1}
	writefln("JSON: %s", j.toString());

	// DEPRECATED: object members can be accessed using member syntax, just like in JavaScript
	//j = Json.emptyObject;
	//j.name = "Example";
	//j.id = 1;
}

Example

Constructing Json objects

// construct a JSON object {"field1": "foo", "field2": 42, "field3": true}

// using the constructor
Json j1 = Json(["field1": Json("foo"), "field2": Json(42), "field3": Json(true)]);

// using piecewise construction
Json j2 = Json.emptyObject;
j2["field1"] = "foo";
j2["field2"] = 42.0;
j2["field3"] = true;

// using serialization
struct S {
	string field1;
	double field2;
	bool field3;
}
Json j3 = S("foo", 42, true).serializeToJson();

// using serialization, converting directly to a JSON string
string j4 = S("foo", 32, true).serializeToJsonString();
