.[](object, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

If object is string-like parse the string and return the parsed result as a Ruby data structure. Otherwise generate a JSON text from the Ruby data structure object and return it.

The opts argument is passed through to generate/parse respectively, see generate and parse for their documentation.

  else
    JSON.generate(object, opts)
  end
end

.deep_const_get(path) ⇒ Object

Return the constant located at path. The format of path has to be either ::A::B::C or A::B::C. In any case A has to be located at the top level (absolute namespace path?). If there doesn’t exist a constant at the given path, an ArgumentError is raised.

end

.dump(obj, anIO = nil, limit = nil) ⇒ Object

Dumps obj as a JSON string, i.e. calls generate on the object and returns the result.

If anIO (an IO like object or an object that responds to the write method) was given, the resulting JSON is written to it.

If the number of nested arrays or objects exceeds limit an ArgumentError exception is raised. This argument is similar (but not exactly the same!) to the limit argument in Marshal.dump.

This method is part of the implementation of the load/dump interface of Marshal and YAML.

.fast_generate(obj, opts = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: fast_unparse

Generate a JSON document from the Ruby data structure obj and return it. This method disables the checks for circles in Ruby objects.

WARNING: Be careful not to pass any Ruby data structures with circles as obj argument, because this will cause JSON to go into an infinite loop.

end

.generate(obj, opts = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: unparse

Generate a JSON document from the Ruby data structure obj and return it. state is * a JSON::State object,

  • or a Hash like object (responding to to_hash),

  • an object convertible into a hash by a to_h method,

that is used as or to configure a State object.

It defaults to a state object, that creates the shortest possible JSON text in one line, checks for circular data structures and doesn’t allow NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity.

A state hash can have the following keys:

  • indent: a string used to indent levels (default: ”),

  • space: a string that is put after, a : or , delimiter (default: ”),

  • space_before: a string that is put before a : pair delimiter (default: ”),

  • object_nl: a string that is put at the end of a JSON object (default: ”),

  • array_nl: a string that is put at the end of a JSON array (default: ”),

  • allow_nan: true if NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity should be generated, otherwise an exception is thrown, if these values are encountered. This options defaults to false.

  • max_nesting: The maximum depth of nesting allowed in the data structures from which JSON is to be generated. Disable depth checking with :max_nesting => false, it defaults to 19.

See also the fast_generate for the fastest creation method with the least amount of sanity checks, and the pretty_generate method for some defaults for a pretty output.

.load(source, proc = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: restore

Load a ruby data structure from a JSON source and return it. A source can either be a string-like object, an IO like object, or an object responding to the read method. If proc was given, it will be called with any nested Ruby object as an argument recursively in depth first order.

This method is part of the implementation of the load/dump interface of Marshal and YAML.

  end

  recurse_proc(result, &proc) if proc
  result
end

.parse(source, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Parse the JSON document source into a Ruby data structure and return it.

opts can have the following keys:

  • max_nesting: The maximum depth of nesting allowed in the parsed data structures. Disable depth checking with :max_nesting => false, it defaults to 19.

  • allow_nan: If set to true, allow NaN, Infinity and -Infinity in defiance of RFC 4627 to be parsed by the Parser. This option defaults to false.

  • symbolize_names: If set to true, returns symbols for the names (keys) in a JSON object. Otherwise strings are returned, which is also the default.

  • create_additions: If set to false, the Parser doesn’t create additions even if a matchin class and create_id was found. This option defaults to true.

  • object_class: Defaults to Hash

  • array_class: Defaults to Array

end

.parse!(source, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Parse the JSON document source into a Ruby data structure and return it. The bang version of the parse method, defaults to the more dangerous values for the opts hash, so be sure only to parse trusted source documents.

opts can have the following keys:

  • max_nesting: The maximum depth of nesting allowed in the parsed data structures. Enable depth checking with :max_nesting => anInteger. The parse! methods defaults to not doing max depth checking: This can be dangerous, if someone wants to fill up your stack.

  • allow_nan: If set to true, allow NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity in defiance of RFC 4627 to be parsed by the Parser. This option defaults to true.

  • create_additions: If set to false, the Parser doesn’t create additions even if a matchin class and create_id was found. This option defaults to true.

.pretty_generate(obj, opts = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: pretty_unparse

Generate a JSON document from the Ruby data structure obj and return it. The returned document is a prettier form of the document returned by #unparse.

The opts argument can be used to configure the generator, see the generate method for a more detailed explanation.
