newtype Parse err a

The type of parsers: things which consume JSON values and produce either detailed errors or successfully parsed values (of other types).

The err type parameter is for your own errors; if you don't need to use any errors of your own, simply set it to ().

Constructors

Parse (ReaderT ParseReader (Except (ParseError err)) a)

Instances

MonadReader ParseReader (Parse err)

Monad (Parse err)

Functor (Parse err)

Applicative (Parse err)

MonadError (ParseError err) (Parse err)

runParser :: (s -> Either String Value) -> Parse err a -> s -> Either (ParseError err) a

parse :: Parse err a -> ByteString -> Either (ParseError err) a

Run a parser with a lazy ByteString containing JSON data. Note that the normal caveat applies: the JSON supplied must contain either an object or an array for this to work.

parseStrict :: Parse err a -> ByteString -> Either (ParseError err) a

Run a parser with a strict ByteString containing JSON data. Note that the normal caveat applies: the JSON supplied must contain either an object or an array for this to work.

parseValue :: Parse err a -> Value -> Either (ParseError err) a

Run a parser with a pre-parsed JSON Value.

toAesonParser :: (err -> Text) -> Parse err a -> Value -> Parser a

This function is useful when you have a Parse err a and you want to obtain an instance for FromJSON a. Simply define:

   parseJSON = toAesonParser showMyCustomError myParser

data ParseReader

Data used internally by the Parse type.

Constructors

ParseReader

Fields

rdrPath :: DList PathPiece

rdrValue :: Value

Instances

MonadReader ParseReader (Parse err)

appendPath :: PathPiece -> ParseReader -> ParseReader

setValue :: Value -> ParseReader -> ParseReader

data PathPiece

A piece of a path leading to a specific part of the JSON data. Internally, a list of these is maintained as the parser traverses the JSON data. This list is included in the error if one occurs.

Constructors

ObjectKey Text

ArrayIndex Int

Instances

Eq PathPiece

Ord PathPiece

Show PathPiece

data ParseError err

A value indicating that the JSON could not be decoded successfully.

Constructors

InvalidJSON String

BadSchema [PathPiece] (ErrorSpecifics err)

Instances

Eq err => Eq (ParseError err)

Show err => Show (ParseError err)

MonadError (ParseError err) (Parse err)

data ErrorSpecifics err

Detailed information in the case where a value could be parsed as JSON, but a value of the required type could not be constructed from it, for some reason.

Constructors

KeyMissing Text

OutOfBounds Int

WrongType JSONType Value

Expected type, actual value

ExpectedIntegral Double

CustomError err

Instances

Eq err => Eq (ErrorSpecifics err)

Show err => Show (ErrorSpecifics err)

data JSONType

An enumeration of the different types that JSON values may take.

Constructors

TyArray

TyString

TyNumber

TyBool

TyNull

Instances

Eq JSONType

Ord JSONType

Show JSONType

displayJSONType :: JSONType -> Text

displayError :: (err -> Text) -> ParseError err -> [Text]

Turn a ParseError into a human-readable list of Text values. They will be in a sensible order. For example, you can feed the result to mapM putStrLn, or unlines.

displayPath :: [PathPiece] -> Text

displaySpecifics :: (err -> Text) -> ErrorSpecifics err -> [Text]

jsonTypeOf :: Value -> JSONType

Get the type of a JSON value.

liftParse :: (Value -> Either (ErrorSpecifics err) a) -> Parse err a

Lift any parsing function into the Parse type.

badSchema :: ErrorSpecifics err -> Parse err a

Aborts parsing, due to an error in the structure of the JSON - that is, any error other than the JSON not actually being parseable into a Value.

as :: (Value -> Maybe a) -> JSONType -> Parse err a

asText :: Parse err Text

Parse a single JSON string as Text.

asString :: Parse err String

Parse a single JSON string as a String.

asScientific :: Parse err Scientific

Parse a single JSON number as a Scientific.

asIntegral :: Integral a => Parse err a

Parse a single JSON number as any Integral type.

asRealFloat :: RealFloat a => Parse err a

Parse a single JSON number as any RealFloat type.

asBool :: Parse err Bool

Parse a single JSON boolean as a Bool.

asObject :: Parse err Object

Parse a JSON object, as an Object. You should prefer functions like eachInObject where possible, since they will usually generate better error messages.

asArray :: Parse err Array

Parse a JSON array, as an Array. You should prefer functions like eachInArray where possible, since they will usually generate better error messages.

asNull :: Parse err ()

Parse a single JSON null value. Useful if you want to throw an error in the case where something is not null.

key :: Text -> Parse err a -> Parse err a

Take the value corresponding to a given key in the current object.

keyOrDefault :: Text -> a -> Parse err a -> Parse err a

Take the value corresponding to a given key in the current object, or if no property exists with that key, use the supplied default.

keyMay :: Text -> Parse err a -> Parse err (Maybe a)

Take the value corresponding to a given key in the current object, or if no property exists with that key, return Nothing .

key' :: Parse err a -> Text -> Parse err a -> Parse err a

nth :: Int -> Parse err a -> Parse err a

Take the nth value of the current array.

nthOrDefault :: Int -> a -> Parse err a -> Parse err a

Take the nth value of the current array, or if no value exists with that index, use the supplied default.

nthMay :: Int -> Parse err a -> Parse err (Maybe a)

Take the nth value of the current array, or if no value exists with that index, return Nothing.

nth' :: Parse err a -> Int -> Parse err a -> Parse err a

eachInArray :: Parse err a -> Parse err [a]

Attempt to parse each value in the array with the given parser, and collect the results.

eachInObject :: Parse err a -> Parse err [(Text, a)]

Attempt to parse each property value in the array with the given parser, and collect the results.

withValue :: (Value -> Either err a) -> Parse err a

Lifts a function attempting to validate an arbitrary JSON value into a parser. You should only use this if absolutely necessary; the other functions in this module will generally give better error reporting.

liftEither :: Either err a -> Parse err a

with :: Parse err a -> (a -> Either err b) -> Parse err b

withText :: (Text -> Either err a) -> Parse err a

withString :: (String -> Either err a) -> Parse err a

withScientific :: (Scientific -> Either err a) -> Parse err a

withIntegral :: Integral a => (a -> Either err b) -> Parse err b

withRealFloat :: RealFloat a => (a -> Either err b) -> Parse err b

withBool :: (Bool -> Either err a) -> Parse err a

withObject :: (Object -> Either err a) -> Parse err a

Prefer to use functions like 'key or eachInObject to this one where possible, as they will generate better error messages.

withArray :: (Array -> Either err a) -> Parse err a

Prefer to use functions like nth or eachInArray to this one where possible, as they will generate better error messages.
