jsx (v0.10.0)

a sane json implementation for erlang

quickstart

make or ./rebar compile

jsx:json_to_term/1,2 takes a utf8 encoded (binary) json text and produces a term as detailed below

jsx:term_to_json/1,2 takes a term conforming to the mapping detailed below and produces a utf8 encoded (binary) json text

options for either are:

* `loose_unicode`
* `explicit_end`
* `escape_forward_slash`

use loose_unicode to replace invalid utf8 sequences with u+FFFD instead of throwing an error

use explicit_end when parsing binary streams with indeterminate ends, like naked integers or json values with trailing whitespace

use escape_forward_slash to escape forward slashes, which is required to produce microsoft's silly date format

jsx:format/1,2 takes a utf8 encoded (binary) json text and produces the same, reformatted.

options are:

* {`space`, N}
* {`indent`, N}

the opt space will insert N spaces after every colon and comma, indent will insert a newline after every comma and N preceding spaces for every level of indent

erlang to json mapping

json	erlang
true, false and null	the atoms true, false and null
Number	integers if possible, floats if not
String (also Key)	utf8 encoded binaries
Array	[] or [Value, ...]
Object	[{}] or [{Key, Value}, ...]
