ZJSON    中文介绍

Introduce

From node.Js back to c++. I especially miss the pleasure of using json in javascript, so try to diy one. I used many libraries, such as: rapidjson, cJson, CJsonObject, drleq cppjson, json11, etc. Zjson's data structure is greatly inspired by cJOSN. The parsing part refers to json11, thanks! Finally, because data storage needs not only to distinguish values, but also to know their types. I choose std:: variant and std:: any which supported by C++17. Finally, the C++ version is fixed at C++17. This library is designed as a single header file, not relying on any other lib than the C++ standard library.

Design ideas

Simple interface functions, simple use methods, flexible data structures, and support chain operations as much as possible. Realizing the simplest design using template technology. Adding a child object of Json only needs one function -- addSubitem, which automatically identifies whether it is a value or a child Json object. The Json object is stored in a linked list structure (refers to cJSON). Please see my data structure design as follows. The header and the following nodes use the same structure, which enables chained operations during index operations ([]).

Project progress

At present, the project has completed most of functions. Please refer to the task list for details.

task list:

  • constructor(Object & Array)
  • constructor(values)
  • JSON serializable constructor
  • copy constructor
  • initializer_list constructor
  • destructor
  • operator=
  • operator[]
  • contains
  • getValueType
  • getAndRemove
  • getAllKeys
  • addSubitem(add subitems & add items to array rapidly)
  • toString(generate josn string)
  • toInt、toDouble、toFalse
  • toVector
  • isError、isNull、isArray
  • parse - from Json string to Json object
  • Extend - Json
  • concat - Json
  • push_front - Json
  • push_back - Json
  • insert - Json
  • clear
  • std::move
  • Remove key
  • Remove intger
  • pop pop_back pop_front
  • removeFirst removeLast remove(for array)
  • slice
  • takes take
  • performance test and comparison for recursive version
  • algorithm non recursion
  • performance test and comparison again

Data structure

Json node type

For internal use, the data type is only used inside the Json class

enum Type {
    Error,                //error or a invalid Json
    False,                //Json value type - false
    True,                 //Json value type - true
    Null,                 //Json value type - null
    Number,               //Json value type - numerial
    String,               //Json value type - string
    Object,               //Json object type
    Array                 //Json object type
};

Json node define

class Json {
    Json* brother;       //like cJSON's next
    Json* child;         //chile node, for object type
    Type type;           //node type
    std::variant <int, bool, double, string> data;   //node's data
    string name;         //node's key
}

Interface

Object type, only support Object and Array.

enum class JsonType
{
    Object = 6,
    Array = 7
};

Examples

    Json subObject{{"math", 99},{"str", "a string."}};   
    Json mulitListObj{{"fkey", false},{"strkey","ffffff"},{"num2", 9.98}, {"okey", subObject}};
    Json subArray(JsonType::Array);

    sub.add("math", 99);                 
    ajson.addValueJson("subJson", sub);           

    Json subArray(JsonType::Array);

    subArray.add("two", 2);               
    
    Json sub2;                            
    sub2.add("sb2", 222);

    subArray.addValueJson("subObj", sub2);         
    
    ajson.addValueJson("array", subArray);         

    std::cout << "ajson's string is : " << ajson.toString() << std::endl;   

    string name = ajson["name"].toString();        
    int oper = ajson["sb2"].toInt();
