Examples

object serialization -- fields only

1 import std.math : approxEqual;
2 
3 static class Fields {
4   this() { } // class must have a no-args ctor
5 
6   this(int iVal, float fVal, string sVal, int[] aVal, string noJson) {
7     i = iVal;
8     f = fVal;
9     s = sVal;
10     a = aVal;
11     dontJsonMe = noJson;
12   }
13 
14   mixin JsonizeMe;
15 
16   @jsonize { // fields to jsonize -- test different access levels
17     public int i;
18     protected float f;
19     public int[] a;
20     private string s;
21   }
22   string dontJsonMe;
23 
24   override bool opEquals(Object o) {
25     auto other = cast(Fields) o;
26     return i == other.i && s == other.s && a == other.a && f.approxEqual(other.f);
27   }
28 }
29 
30 auto obj = new Fields(1, 4.2, "tally ho!", [9, 8, 7, 6], "blarg");
31 auto json = toJSON!Fields(obj);
32 
33 assert(json.object["i"].integer == 1);
34 assert(json.object["f"].floating.approxEqual(4.2));
35 assert(json.object["s"].str == "tally ho!");
36 assert(json.object["a"].array[0].integer == 9);
37 assert("dontJsonMe" !in json.object);
38 
39 // reconstruct from json
40 auto r = fromJSON!Fields(json);
41 assert(r.i == 1);
42 assert(r.f.approxEqual(4.2));
43 assert(r.s == "tally ho!");
44 assert(r.a == [9, 8, 7, 6]);
45 assert(r.dontJsonMe is null);
46 
47 // array of objects
48 auto a = [
49   new Fields(1, 4.2, "tally ho!", [9, 8, 7, 6], "blarg"),
50       new Fields(7, 42.2, "yea merrily", [1, 4, 6, 4], "asparagus")

52 
53 // serialize array of user objects to json
54 auto jsonArray = toJSON!(Fields[])(a);
55 // reconstruct from json
56 assert(fromJSON!(Fields[])(jsonArray) == a);

object serialization with properties

import std.math : approxEqual;

static class Props {
  this() { } // class must have a no-args ctor

  this(int iVal, float fVal, string sVal, string noJson) {
    _i = iVal;
    _f = fVal;
    _s = sVal;
    _dontJsonMe = noJson;
  }

  mixin JsonizeMe;

  @property {
    // jsonize ref property accessing private field
    @jsonize ref int i() { return _i; }
    // jsonize property with non-trivial get/set methods
    @jsonize float f() { return _f - 3; } // the jsonized value will equal _f - 3
    float f(float val) { return _f = val + 5; } // 5 will be added to _f when retrieving from json
    // don't jsonize these properties
    ref string s() { return _s; }
    ref string dontJsonMe() { return _dontJsonMe; }
  }

  private:
  int _i;
  float _f;
  @jsonize string _s;
  string _dontJsonMe;
}

auto obj = new Props(1, 4.2, "tally ho!", "blarg");
auto json = toJSON(obj);

assert(json.object["i"].integer == 1);
assert(json.object["f"].floating.approxEqual(4.2 - 3.0)); // property should have subtracted 3 on retrieval
assert(json.object["_s"].str == "tally ho!");
assert("dontJsonMe" !in json.object);

auto r = fromJSON!Props(json);
assert(r.i == 1);
assert(r._f.approxEqual(4.2 - 3.0 + 5.0)); // property accessor should add 5
assert(r._s == "tally ho!");
assert(r.dontJsonMe is null);

object serialization with custom constructor

import std.conv : to;
import std.json : parseJSON;
import std.math : approxEqual;
import jsonizer.tojson : toJSON;

static class Custom {
  mixin JsonizeMe;

  this(int i) {

    _f = 10.2;
  }

  @jsonize this(int _i, string _s, float _f = 20.2) {
    this._i = _i;
    this._s = _s ~ " jsonized";
    this._f = _f;
  }

  @jsonize this(double d) { // alternate ctor
    _f = d.to!float;
    _s = d.to!string;
    _i = d.to!int;
  }

  private:
  @jsonize {
    string _s;
    float _f;
    int _i;
  }
}

auto c = new Custom(12);
auto json = toJSON(c);
assert(json.object["_i"].integer == 12);
assert(json.object["_s"].str == "something");
assert(json.object["_f"].floating.approxEqual(10.2));
auto c2 = fromJSON!Custom(json);
assert(c2._i == 12);
assert(c2._s == "something jsonized");
assert(c2._f.approxEqual(10.2));

// test alternate ctor
json = parseJSON(`{"d" : 5}`);
c = json.fromJSON!Custom;
assert(c._f.approxEqual(5) && c._i == 5 && c._s == "5");

struct serialization

    this.x = x;
    this.f = f;
    this.s = s;
    this.dontJsonMe = noJson;
  }
}

auto s = S(5, 4.2, "bogus", 7);
auto json = toJSON(s); // serialize a struct

assert(json.object["x"].integer == 5);
assert(json.object["f"].floating.approxEqual(4.2));
assert(json.object["s"].str == "bogus");
assert("dontJsonMe" !in json.object);

auto r = fromJSON!S(json);
assert(r.x == 5);
assert(r.f.approxEqual(4.2));
assert(r.s == "bogus");
assert(r.dontJsonMe == int.init);

json file I/O

import std.file          : remove;
import jsonizer.fromjson : readJSON;
import jsonizer.tojson   : writeJSON;

enum file = "test.json";
scope(exit) remove(file);

static struct Data {
  mixin JsonizeMe;

  @jsonize {

// write an array of user-defined structs
auto array = [Data(5, "preposterous", 12.7), Data(8, "tesseract", -2.7), Data(5, "baby sloths", 102.7)];
file.writeJSON(array);
