json-builder-0.2.2: Data structure agnostic JSON serialization

MaintainerLeon P Smith <leon@melding-monads.com>

Data.Json.Builder.Internal

Description

Internal bits. By using the constructors provided in this module, you can break the abstraction that json-builder provides and emit invalid JSON syntax. Also, this module is not as stable as the public interface and can change at any time.

Synopsis

Documentation

newtype Json Source

The Json type represents valid json syntax. It cannot be directly analyzed, however it can be turned into a Builder via toBuilder, a (lazy) ByteString via toJsonBS or toJsonLBS, or used as a component of a json Array or json Object using element or row.

Constructors

Json Builder 

Instances

newtype Object Source

The Object type represents syntax for a json object. It has a singleton constructor row, and an instance of Monoid, so that mempty represents the empty object and mappend concatinates two objects. Arbitrary objects can be constructed using these operators.

Note that duplicate field names will appear in the output, so it is up to the user of this interface to avoid duplicate field names.

Constructors

Object CommaMonoid 

newtype Array Source

The Array type represents syntax for a json array. It has been given a singleton constructor element and an instance of Monoid, so that mempty represents the empty array and mappend concatinates two arrays. Arbitrary arrays can be constructed using these operators.

Constructors

Array CommaMonoid 

class Value a whereSource

The Value typeclass represents types that can be rendered into valid json syntax.

Methods

toJson :: a -> JsonSource

Instances

newtype Escaped Source

The Escaped type represents json string syntax. The purpose of this type is so that json strings can be efficiently constructed from multiple Haskell strings without superfluous conversions or concatinations.

Internally, it is just a Builder value which must produce a UTF-8 encoded bytestring with backslashes, quotes, and control characters appropriately escaped. It also must not render the opening or closing quote, which are instead rendered by toJson.

Constructors

Escaped Builder 

class Value a => JsString a whereSource

The JsString typeclass represents types that can be render into json string syntax. They are special because only strings can appear as field names of json objects.

Methods

escape :: a -> EscapedSource

Instances

data CommaMonoid Source

A CommaMonoid inserts commas between builders. In order to satisify the Monoid identity laws, Empty must be distinguished from Comma mempty. To demonstrate the difference:

 mconcat ["foo", Comma mempty, "bar"]  ==  "foo,,bar"
 mconcat ["foo", Empty       , "bar"]  ==  "foo,bar"

Note that this example abuses notation somewhat, treating Builders as strings using the injection fromString = Comma . fromString
