Overview

Optimized JSON (Oj), as the name implies was written to provide speed optimized JSON handling.

Oj uses modes to control how object are encoded and decoded. In addition global and options to methods allow additional behavior modifications. The modes are:

:strict mode will only allow the 7 basic JSON types to be serialized. Any other Object will raise an Exception.
:null mode is similar to the :strict mode except any Object that is not one of the JSON base types is replaced by a JSON null.
:object mode will dump any Object as a JSON Object with keys that match the Ruby Object's variable names without the '@' character. This is the highest performance mode.
:compat or :json mode is the compatible mode for the json gem. It mimics the json gem including the options, defaults, and restrictions.
:rails is the compatibility mode for Rails or Active support.
:custom is the most configurable mode.
:wab specifically for WAB data exchange.

Class Method Details

.add_to_json(*args) ⇒ `Object`

Override simple to_s dump behavior in :compat mode to instead use an optimized dump that includes the classname and attributes so that the object can be re-created on load. The format is the same as the json gem but does not use the ruby methods for encoding.

The classes supported for optimization are: Array, BigDecimal, Complex, Date, DateTime, Exception, Hash, Integer, OpenStruct, Range, Rational, Regexp, Struct, and Time. Providing no classes will result in all those classes being optimized.q

*args( [Class] zero or more classes to optimize.

1572	# File 'ext/oj/oj.c', line 1572 extern VALUE oj_add_to_json(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self);

.compat_load(json, options) { ... } ⇒ `Object`

Parses a JSON document String into an Object, Hash, Array, String, Fixnum, Float, true, false, or nil. It parses using a mode that is generally compatible with other Ruby JSON parsers in that it will create objects based on the :create_id value. It is not compatible in every way to every other parser though as each parser has it's own variations.

When used with a document that has multiple JSON elements the block, if any, will be yielded to. If no block then the last element read will be returned.

Raises an exception if the JSON is malformed or the classes specified are not valid. If the input is not a valid JSON document (an empty string is not a valid JSON document) an exception is raised.

A block can be provided with a single argument. That argument will be the parsed JSON document. This is useful when parsing a string that includes multiple JSON documents. The block can take up to 3 arguments, the parsed object, the position in the string or stream of the start of the JSON for that object, and the length of the JSON for that object plus trailing whitespace.

json [String|IO] JSON String or an Object that responds to read().
options [Hash] load options (same as default_options).
obj [Hash|Array|String|Fixnum|Float|Boolean|nil] parsed object.
start [_optional, Integer] start position of parsed JSON for obj.
len [_optional, Integer] length of parsed JSON for obj.

Yields:

.default_options=(opts) ⇒ `Object`

Sets the default options for load and dump.

opts [Hash] options to change
- :indent [Fixnum|String|nil] number of spaces to indent each element in a JSON

document or the String to use for identation.

- :circular [_Boolean_|_nil_] support circular references while dumping.
- *:auto_define* [_Boolean_|_nil_] automatically define classes if they do not exist.
- *:symbol_keys* [_Boolean_|_nil_] convert hash keys to symbols.
- *:class_cache* [_Boolean_|_nil_] cache classes for faster parsing.
- *:escape* [_:newline_|_:json_|_:xss_safe_|_:ascii_|_unicode_xss_|_nil_] mode encodes all

high-bit characters as escaped sequences if :ascii, :json is standand UTF-8 JSON encoding, :newline is the same as :json but newlines are not escaped, :unicode_xss allows unicode but escapes &, <, and >, and any u20xx characters along with some others, and :xss_safe escapes &, <, and >, and some others.

- *:bigdecimal_as_decimal* [_Boolean_|_nil_] dump BigDecimal as a decimal number or as a

String.

- *:bigdecimal_load* [_:bigdecimal_|_:float_|_:auto_|_nil_] load decimals as BigDecimal instead

of as a Float. :auto pick the most precise for the number of digits.

- *:compat_bigdecimal* [_true_|_false_] load decimals as BigDecimal instead of as a Float in

compat mode.

- *:mode* [_:object_|_:strict_|_:compat_|_:null_|_:custom_|_:rails_|_:wab_] load and dump mode

to use for JSON :strict raises an exception when a non-supported Object is encountered. :compat attempts to extract variable values from an Object using to_json() or to_hash() then it walks the Object's variables if neither is found. The :object mode ignores to_hash() and to_json() methods and encodes variables using code internal to the Oj gem. The :null mode ignores non-supported Objects and replaces them with a null. The :custom mode honors all dump options. The :rails more mimics rails and Active behavior.

- *:time_format* [_:unix_|_:xmlschema_|_:ruby_] time format when dumping in :compat mode :unix

decimal number denoting the number of seconds since 1/1/1970, :unix_zone decimal number denoting the number of seconds since 1/1/1970 plus the utc_offset in the exponent, :xmlschema date-time format taken from XML Schema as a String, :ruby Time.to_s formatted String.

- *:create_id* [_String_|_nil_] create id for json compatible object encoding
- *:create_additions* [_Boolean_|_nil_] if true allow creation of instances using create_id on

load.

- *:second_precision* [_Fixnum_|_nil_] number of digits after the decimal when dumping the

seconds portion of time.

- *:float_precision* [_Fixnum_|_nil_] number of digits of precision when dumping floats, 0

indicates use Ruby.

- *:use_to_json* [_Boolean_|_nil_] call to_json() methods on dump, default is false.
- *:use_as_json* [_Boolean_|_nil_] call as_json() methods on dump, default is false.
- *:use_to_hash* [_Boolean_|_nil_] call to_hash() methods on dump, default is false.
- *:use_raw_json* [_Boolean_|_nil_] call raw_json() methods on dump, default is false.
- *:nilnil* [_Boolean_|_nil_] if true a nil input to load will return nil and not raise an

Exception.

- *:allow_gc* [_Boolean_|_nil_] allow or prohibit GC during parsing, default is true (allow).
- *:quirks_mode* [_Boolean_|_nil_] allow single JSON values instead of documents, default is

true (allow).

- *:allow_invalid_unicode* [_Boolean_|_nil_] allow invalid unicode, default is false (don't

allow).

- *:allow_nan* [_Boolean_|_nil_] allow Nan, Infinity, and -Infinity, default is true (allow).
- *:space* [_String_|_nil_] String to use for the space after the colon in JSON object fields.
- *:space_before* [_String_|_nil_] String to use before the colon separator in JSON object

fields.

- *:object_nl* [_String_|_nil_] String to use after a JSON object field value.
- *:array_nl* [_String_|_nil_] String to use after a JSON array value
- *:nan* [_:null_|_:huge_|_:word_|_:raise_] how to dump Infinity and NaN in null, strict, and

compat mode. :null places a null, :huge places a huge number, :word places Infinity or NaN, :raise raises and exception, :auto uses default for each mode.

- *:hash_class* [_Class_|_nil_] Class to use instead of Hash on load, :object_class can also be

used.

- *:array_class* [_Class_|_nil_] Class to use instead of Array on load.
- *:omit_nil* [_true_|_false_] if true Hash and Object attributes with nil values are omitted.
- *:ignore* [_nil_|Array] either nil or an Array of classes to ignore when dumping
- *:ignore_under* [_Boolean_] if true then attributes that start with _ are ignored when

dumping in object or custom mode.

- *:integer_range* [_Range_] Dump integers outside range as strings.
- *:trace* [_Boolean_] turn trace on or off.
- *:safe* [_Boolean_] turn safe mimic on or off.

.load(json, options = ) { ... } ⇒ `Object`

Parses a JSON document String into a Object, Hash, Array, String, Fixnum, Float, true, false, or nil according to the default mode or the mode specified. Raises an exception if the JSON is malformed or the classes specified are not valid. If the string input is not a valid JSON document (an empty string is not a valid JSON document) an exception is raised.

When used with a document that has multiple JSON elements the block, if any, will be yielded to. If no block then the last element read will be returned.

This parser operates on string and will attempt to load files into memory if a file object is passed as the first argument. A stream input will be parsed using a stream parser but others use the slightly faster string parser.

json [String|IO] JSON String or an Object that responds to read()
options [Hash] load options (same as default_options)

.mimic_JSON ⇒ `Object`

Creates the JSON module with methods and classes to mimic the JSON gem. After this method is invoked calls that expect the JSON module will use Oj instead and be faster than the original JSON. Most options that could be passed to the JSON methods are supported. The calls to set parser or generator will not raise an Exception but will not have any effect. The method can also be called after the json gem is loaded. The necessary methods on the json gem will be replaced with Oj methods.

Note that this also sets the default options of :mode to :compat and :encoding to :unicode_xss.

Returns [Module] the JSON module.

.object_load(json, options) { ... } ⇒ `Object`

Parses a JSON document String into an Object, Hash, Array, String, Fixnum, Float, true, false, or nil. In the :object mode the JSON should have been generated by Oj.dump(). The parser will reconstitute the original marshalled or dumped Object. The :auto_define and :circular options have meaning with this parsing mode.

Raises an exception if the JSON is malformed or the classes specified are not valid. If the input is not a valid JSON document (an empty string is not a valid JSON document) an exception is raised.

json [String|IO] JSON String or an Object that responds to read().
options [Hash] load options (same as default_options).
obj [Hash|Array|String|Fixnum|Float|Boolean|nil] parsed object.
start [_optional, Integer] start position of parsed JSON for obj.
len [_optional, Integer] length of parsed JSON for obj.

Yields:

.optimize_rails ⇒ `Object`

Sets the Oj as the Rails encoder and decoder. Oj::Rails.optimize is also called.

1635	# File 'ext/oj/oj.c', line 1635 extern VALUE oj_optimize_rails(VALUE self);

.register_odd(clas, create_object, create_method, *members) ⇒ `Object`

Registers a class as special. This is useful for working around subclasses of primitive types as is done with ActiveSupport classes. The use of this function should be limited to just classes that can not be handled in the normal way. It is not intended as a hook for changing the output of all classes as it is not optimized for large numbers of classes.

clas [Class_|Module] Class or Module to be made special
create_object [Object] object to call the create method on
create_method [Symbol] method on the clas that will create a new instance of the clas when

given all the member values in the order specified.

members [Symbol_|String] methods used to get the member values from instances of the

clas.

.register_odd_raw(clas, create_object, create_method, dump_method) ⇒ `Object`

Registers a class as special and expect the output to be a string that can be included in the dumped JSON directly. This is useful for working around subclasses of primitive types as is done with ActiveSupport classes. The use of this function should be limited to just classes that can not be handled in the normal way. It is not intended as a hook for changing the output of all classes as it is not optimized for large numbers of classes. Be careful with this option as the JSON may be incorrect if invalid JSON is returned.

clas [Class|Module] Class or Module to be made special
create_object [Object] object to call the create method on
create_method [Symbol] method on the clas that will create a new instance of the clas when

given all the member values in the order specified.

dump_method [Symbol|String] method to call on the object being serialized to generate the

raw JSON.

    return Qnil;
}

.remove_to_json ⇒ `Object`

Reverts back to the to_s dump behavior in :compat mode to instead use an optimized dump that includes the classname and attributes so that the object can be re-created on load. The format is the same as the json gem but does not use the ruby methods for encoding.

args [Class] zero or more classes to optimize.

1588	# File 'ext/oj/oj.c', line 1588 extern VALUE oj_remove_to_json(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self);

.safe_load(doc) ⇒ `Object`

Loads a JSON document in strict mode with :auto_define and :symbol_keys turned off. This function should be safe to use with JSON received on an unprotected public interface.

doc [String_|IO] JSON String or IO to load.

# File 'ext/oj/oj.c', line 1160

}

.saj_parse(handler, io) ⇒ `Object`

Parses an IO stream or file containing a JSON document. Raises an exception if the JSON is malformed. This is a callback parser that calls the methods in the handler if they exist. A sample is the Oj::Saj class which can be used as a base class for the handler.

handler [Oj::Saj] responds to Oj::Saj methods
io [IO|String] IO Object to read from

.sc_parse(handler, io) ⇒ `Object`

Parses an IO stream or file containing a JSON document. Raises an exception if the JSON is malformed. This is a callback parser (Simple Callback Parser) that calls the methods in the handler if they exist. A sample is the Oj::ScHandler class which can be used as a base class for the handler. This callback parser is slightly more efficient than the Saj callback parser and requires less argument checking.

handler [Oj::ScHandler_] responds to Oj::ScHandler methods
io [IO_|String] IO Object to read from

.strict_load(json, options) { ... } ⇒ `Object`

Parses a JSON document String into an Hash, Array, String, Fixnum, Float, true, false, or nil. It parses using a mode that is strict in that it maps each primitive JSON type to a similar Ruby type. The :create_id is not honored in this mode. Note that a Ruby Hash is used to represent the JSON Object type. These two are not the same since the JSON Object type can have repeating entries with the same key and Ruby Hash can not.

When used with a document that has multiple JSON elements the block, if any, will be yielded to. If no block then the last element read will be returned.

Raises an exception if the JSON is malformed or the classes specified are not valid. If the input is not a valid JSON document (an empty string is not a valid JSON document) an exception is raised.

json [String|IO] JSON String or an Object that responds to read().
options [Hash] load options (same as default_options).
obj [Hash|Array|String|Fixnum|Float|Boolean|nil] parsed object.
start [_optional, Integer] start position of parsed JSON for obj.
len [_optional, Integer] length of parsed JSON for obj.

file [String] _path file path to write the JSON document to
obj [Object] Object to serialize as an JSON document String

    return Qnil;
}

.to_json(obj, options) ⇒ `Object`

Dumps an Object (obj) to a string. If the object has a to_json method that will be called. The mode is set to :compat.

obj [Object] Object to serialize as an JSON document String
options [Hash]
- :max_nesting [boolean] It true nesting is limited to 100. The option to detect circular

references is available but is not compatible with the json gem., default is false

- *:allow_nan* [_boolean_] If true non JSON compliant words such as Nan and Infinity will be

used as appropriate, default is true.

- *:quirks_mode* [_boolean_] Allow single JSON values instead of documents, default is true

(allow).

- *:indent* [_String_|_nil_] String to use for indentation, overriding the indent option if not

nil.

- *:space* [_String_|_nil_] String to use for the space after the colon in JSON object fields.
- *:space_before* [_String_|_nil_] String to use before the colon separator in JSON object

fields.

- *:object_nl* [_String_|_nil_] String to use after a JSON object field value.
