Json

object Json

This class serves as the entry point to the minimal-json API.

To parse a given JSON input, use the parse() methods like in this example:

To create a JSON data structure to be serialized, use the methods value(), array(), and object(). For example, the following snippet will produce the JSON string {"foo": 23, "bar": true}:

To create a JSON array from a given Java array, you can use one of the array() methods with varargs parameters:

Properties

FALSE	`val FALSE: JsonValue` Represents the JSON literal `false`.
NULL	`val NULL: JsonValue` Represents the JSON literal `null`.
TRUE	`val TRUE: JsonValue` Represents the JSON literal `true`.

Functions

array	`fun array(): JsonArray` Creates a new empty JsonArray. This is equivalent to creating a new JsonArray using the constructor. `fun array(vararg values: Int): JsonArray` Creates a new JsonArray that contains the JSON representations of the given `int` values. `fun array(vararg values: Long): JsonArray` Creates a new JsonArray that contains the JSON representations of the given `long` values. `fun array(vararg values: Float): JsonArray` Creates a new JsonArray that contains the JSON representations of the given `float` values. `fun array(vararg values: Double): JsonArray` Creates a new JsonArray that contains the JSON representations of the given `double` values. `fun array(vararg values: Boolean): JsonArray` Creates a new JsonArray that contains the JSON representations of the given `boolean` values. `fun array(vararg strings: String): JsonArray` Creates a new JsonArray that contains the JSON representations of the given strings.
object	`fun object(): JsonObject` Creates a new empty JsonObject. This is equivalent to creating a new JsonObject using the constructor.
parse	`fun parse(string: String): JsonValue` Parses the given input string as JSON. The input must contain a valid JSON value, optionally padded with whitespace. `fun parse(reader: Reader): JsonValue` Reads the entire input from the given reader and parses it as JSON. The input must contain a valid JSON value, optionally padded with whitespace.
value	`fun value(value: Int): JsonValue` Returns a JsonValue instance that represents the given `int` value. `fun value(value: Long): JsonValue` Returns a JsonValue instance that represents the given `long` value. `fun value(value: Float): JsonValue` Returns a JsonValue instance that represents the given `float` value. `fun value(value: Double): JsonValue` Returns a JsonValue instance that represents the given `double` value. `fun value(string: String?): JsonValue` Returns a JsonValue instance that represents the given string. `fun value(value: Boolean): JsonValue` Returns a JsonValue instance that represents the given `boolean` value.
