JsonBuilder — Generates JSON trees

Properties

Includes

#include <json-glib/json-glib.h>

Description

JsonBuilder provides an object for generating a JSON tree. You can generate only one tree with one JsonBuilder instance.

The root of the JSON tree can be either a JsonObject or a JsonArray. Thus the first call must necessarily be either json_builder_begin_object() or json_builder_begin_array().

For convenience to language bindings, JsonBuilder returns itself from most of functions, making it easy to chain function calls.

Functions

json_builder_new ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_new (void);

Creates a new JsonBuilder. You can use this object to generate a JSON tree and obtain the root JsonNode.

Returns

the newly created JsonBuilder instance


json_builder_new_immutable ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_new_immutable (void);

Creates a new JsonBuilder instance with its “immutable” property set to TRUE to create immutable output trees.

Returns

a new JsonBuilder.

Since: 1.2


json_builder_get_root ()

JsonNode *
json_builder_get_root (JsonBuilder *builder);

Returns the root of the current constructed tree, if the build is complete (ie: all opened objects, object members and arrays are being closed).

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

Returns

the JsonNode, or NULL if the build is not complete. Free the returned value with json_node_unref().

[transfer full]


json_builder_reset ()

void
json_builder_reset (JsonBuilder *builder);

Resets the state of the builder back to its initial state.

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

json_builder_begin_array ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_begin_array (JsonBuilder *builder);

Opens a subarray inside the given builder . When done adding members to the subarray, json_builder_end_array() must be called.

Can be called for first or only if the call is associated to an object member or an array element.

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

Returns

the JsonBuilder, or NULL if the call was inconsistent.

[transfer none]


json_builder_end_array ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_end_array (JsonBuilder *builder);

Closes the subarray inside the given builder that was opened by the most recent call to json_builder_begin_array().

Cannot be called after json_builder_set_member_name().

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

Returns

the JsonBuilder, or NULL if the call was inconsistent.

[transfer none]


json_builder_begin_object ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_begin_object (JsonBuilder *builder);

Opens a subobject inside the given builder . When done adding members to the subobject, json_builder_end_object() must be called.

Can be called for first or only if the call is associated to an object member or an array element.

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

Returns

the JsonBuilder, or NULL if the call was inconsistent.

[transfer none]


json_builder_set_member_name ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_set_member_name (JsonBuilder *builder,
                              const gchar *member_name);

Set the name of the next member in an object. The next call must add a value, open an object or an array.

Can be called only if the call is associated to an object.

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

member_name

the name of the member

 

Returns

the JsonBuilder, or NULL if the call was inconsistent.

[transfer none]


json_builder_end_object ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_end_object (JsonBuilder *builder);

Closes the subobject inside the given builder that was opened by the most recent call to json_builder_begin_object().

Cannot be called after json_builder_set_member_name().

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

Returns

the JsonBuilder, or NULL if the call was inconsistent.

[transfer none]


json_builder_add_value ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_add_value (JsonBuilder *builder,
                        JsonNode *node);

If called after json_builder_set_member_name(), sets node as member of the most recent opened object, otherwise node is added as element of the most recent opened array.

The builder will take ownership of the JsonNode.

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

node

the value of the member or element.

[transfer full]

Returns

the JsonBuilder, or NULL if the call was inconsistent.

[transfer none]


json_builder_add_int_value ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_add_int_value (JsonBuilder *builder,
                            gint64 value);

If called after json_builder_set_member_name(), sets value as member of the most recent opened object, otherwise value is added as element of the most recent opened array.

See also: json_builder_add_value()

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

value

the value of the member or element

 

Returns

the JsonBuilder, or NULL if the call was inconsistent.

[transfer none]


json_builder_add_double_value ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_add_double_value (JsonBuilder *builder,
                               gdouble value);

If called after json_builder_set_member_name(), sets value as member of the most recent opened object, otherwise value is added as element of the most recent opened array.

See also: json_builder_add_value()

Parameters

builder

a JsonBuilder

 

value

the value of the member or element

 

Returns

the JsonBuilder, or NULL if the call was inconsistent.

[transfer none]


json_builder_add_boolean_value ()

JsonBuilder *
json_builder_add_boolean_value (JsonBuilder *builder,
                                gboolean value);

If called after json_builder_set_member_name(), sets value as member of the most recent opened object, otherwise value is added as element of the most recent opened array.

Types and Values

struct JsonBuilder

struct JsonBuilder;

The JsonBuilder structure contains only private data and should be accessed using the provided API

Since: 0.12


struct JsonBuilderClass

struct JsonBuilderClass {
};

The JsonBuilderClass structure contains only private data

Since: 0.12

Property Details

The “immutable” property

  “immutable”                gboolean

Whether the JsonNode tree built by the JsonBuilder should be immutable when created. Making the output immutable on creation avoids the expense of traversing it to make it immutable later.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: FALSE
