{{task}} Load a [[wp:JSON|JSON]] string into a data structure. Also, create a new data structure and serialize it into JSON.

Use objects and arrays (as appropriate for your language) and make sure your JSON is valid (https://jsonformatter.org).

8th

8th uses JSON as its data description language, so:


[1,2,3] . cr

Prints an array of [1,2,3].

Converting a string to an object:


"{ \"a\": 123 }"  json>

Takes the string and converts to the JSON object (which is an 8th object). Convert back to a string:


{"a": 123} >s

That takes the object and converts to the JSON string given above.

Apex

JSON serialization and deserialization is built in

class TestClass{
    String foo {get;set;}
    Integer bar {get;set;}
}

TestClass testObj = new TestClass();
testObj.foo = 'ABC';
testObj.bar = 123;

String serializedString = JSON.serialize(testObj);
TestClass deserializedObject = (TestClass)JSON.deserialize(serializedString, TestClass.class);

//"testObj.foo == deserializedObject.foo" is true
//"testObj.bar == deserializedObject.bar" is true

Bracmat

Bracmat has built-in functionality for reading and writing JSON data. A full roundtrip from JSON file over a Bracmat internal representation back to a JSON file looks like this:

put$(jsn$(get$("input.json",JSN)),"output.JSN,NEW)

Let us split this into separate steps.

To read a JSON file "myfile.json", use

get$("myfile.json",JSN)

If the JSON data, e.g, an array, has to be read from a string value, use the MEM option on the get function, like this:

get$("[1,2,3]",JSN,MEM)

To convert the corresponding Bracmat data structure (,1 2 3) back to a JSON string, use

jsn$(,1 2 3)

To write a JSON string "[1,2,3]" to a file "array.json", use

put$("[1,2,3]","array.json",NEW)

Bracmat and JSON/Javascript do far from represent data in similar ways. Bracmat has arbitrary-precision arithmetic. Floating point numbers are not a native datatype in Bracmat. Bracmat has no Boolean values true and false and no null value. Bracmat has arrays and objects, but they are second class citizens. Most data is best represented as binary tree structures, with binary operators like the plus, comma, dot or white space sitting in the nodes and the atomic parts of the data sitting in the leaves. The only data type that is somewhat the same in JSON/JavaScript and Bracmat is the string, but there is a slight difference in the representation of strings in code. Whereas strings in JSON always are enclosed in quotation marks, this is only necessary in Bracmat if a string contains operator characters or starts with flag characters.

Here are the mapping rules:

{| class="wikitable" |- ! Bracmat representation ! JSON representation ! Comment |- | null | null | |- | true | true |- | false | false |- | 12345 | 12345 |- | 2/3 | 6.66666666666666666667E-1 | Most rational numbers cannot be represented as floating point numbers, see note (1) |- | (.string) | "string" |- | (,1 2) | [1,2] |- | ((a.1)+(b.2),) | {"a":1,"b":2} | The + operator sorts its arguments. See note (2) |}

Note (1) All floating point numbers can be represented as rational numbers. Therefore, a round trip of a Bracmat number to a JSON number and back to a Bracmat number can give a different number: 2/3 becomes 666666666666666666667/1000000000000000000000.

Note (2) The objects {"a":1,"b":2} and {"b":2,"a":1} are equivalent in Bracmat, as they are both internally represented as ((a.1)+(b.2),)

Here is a full round trip of the following JSON data, which is assumed to be stored in a file "rosetta.json". The employed code is:


( get$("rosetta.json",JSN):?json
& lst$(json,"json.bra",NEW)
& put$(jsn$!json,"rosetta-roundtrip.json",NEW)
)

EchoLisp

The '''json''' library allows to import/export basic JSON types (string ,numbers, arrays) and to translate EchoLisp objects (lists, dates, ..) from/to JSON objects and types. See reference documentation [[http://www.echolalie.org/echolisp/help.html#export-json]].


;; JSON standard types : strings, numbers, and arrays (vectors)
(export-json #(6 7 8 9))  →   "[6,7,8,9]"
(export-json #("alpha" "beta" "gamma"))  →   "["alpha","beta","gamma"]"

(json-import "[6,7,8,9]")  →   #( 6 7 8 9)
(json-import #<< ["alpha","beta","gamma"] >>#)  →   #( "alpha" "beta" "gamma")

;; EchoLisp types : dates, rational, complex, big int
(export-json 3/4)  →   "{"_instanceof":"Rational","a":3,"b":4}"
(json-import #<< {"_instanceof":"Rational","a":666,"b":42} >>#)  →   111/7

;; Symbols
(export-json 'Simon-Gallubert)  →   "{"_instanceof":"Symbol","name":"Simon-Gallubert"}"
(json-import #<< {"_instanceof":"Symbol","name":"Antoinette-de-Gabolde"} >>#)
    →   Antoinette-de-Gabolde

;; Lists
(define my-list
    (export-json '( 43 4 5 ( 6 7 ( 8 9 )))))
    →    "{"_instanceof":"List" ,"array":[43,4,5,{"_instanceof":"List",
    "array":[6,7,{"_instanceof":"List",
    "array":[8,9],"circular":false}],"circular":false}],"circular":false}"

(json-import my-list)  →   (43 4 5 (6 7 (8 9)))

;; Structures
(struct Person (name pict))  →   #struct:Person [name pict]
(define antoinette (Person "antoinette" "👰"))   →   # (antoinette 👰)

(export-json antoinette)  →
    "{"_instanceof":"Struct", "struct":"Person","id":17,"fields":["antoinette","👰"]}"
(json-import

The examples above illustrate that it is possible to perform manual conversions to and from a JSON format but in EGL it is much more common for the programming language to handle these conversion automatically as a natural part of service invocations. Below is an example of a function definition designed to consume the Google Maps Geocoding service. The results are returned in a JSON format and parsed by EGL into records that mirror the structure of the reply.

// Service function definition
function geocode(address String) returns (GoogleGeocoding) {
    @Resource{uri = "binding:GoogleGeocodingBinding"},
    @Rest{method = _GET, uriTemplate = "/json?address={address}&sensor=false",
    requestFormat = None, responseFormat = JSON}
}

// Invoke service function
call geocode("111 Maple Street, Somewhere, CO") returning to callback;

function callBack(result GoogleGeocoding in)
    SysLib.writeStdout(result.status);
    SysLib.writeStdout(result.results[1].geometry.location.lat);
    SysLib.writeStdout(result.results[1].geometry.location.lng);

FunL

Since FunL map syntax is conforms to JSON, the built-in function eval() can be used to parse a JSON string. Built-in println() also produces JSON conformant output. This method only uses built-in functions but is comparatively slow.

println( eval('{ "foo": 1, "bar": [10, "apples"] }') )

Using module json gives better performance and also pretty prints the JSON output.

import json.*

DefaultJSONWriter.write( JSONReader({'ints', 'bigInts'}).fromString('{ "foo": 1, "bar": [10, "apples"] }') )

{{out}}


{"foo": 1, "bar": [10, "apples"]}
{
  "foo": 1,
  "bar": [
    10,
    "apples"
  ]
}

=={{header|F_Sharp|F#}}== There are several ways:

  1. Using Json.Net

open Newtonsoft.Json
type Person = {ID: int; Name:string}
let xs = [{ID = 1; Name = "First"} ; { ID = 2; Name = "Second"}]

let json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(xs)
json |> printfn "%s"

let xs1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Person list>(json)
xs1 |> List.iter(fun x -> printfn "%i  %s" x.ID x.Name)

Print:

[{"ID":1,"Name":"First"},{"ID":2,"Name":"Second"}]
1  First
2  Second

  1. Using FSharp.Data
open FSharp.Data
open FSharp.Data.JsonExtensions

type Person = {ID: int; Name:string}
let xs = [{ID = 1; Name = "First"} ; { ID = 2; Name = "Second"}]

let infos = xs |> List.map(fun x -> JsonValue.Record([| "ID", JsonValue.Number(decimal x.ID); "Name", JsonValue.String(x.Name) |]))
            |> Array.ofList |> JsonValue.Array

infos |> printfn "%A"
match JsonValue.Parse(infos.ToString()) with
| JsonValue.Array(x) -> x |> Array.map(fun x -> {ID = System.Int32.Parse(string x?ID); Name = (string x?Name)})
| _ -> failwith "fail json"
|> Array.iter(fun x -> printfn "%i  %s" x.ID x.Name)

Print:

[
  {
    "ID": 1,
    "Name": "First"
  },
  {
    "ID": 2,
    "Name": "Second"
  }
]
1  "First"
2  "Second"

  1. Alternative way of parsing: JsonProvider
open FSharp.Data
type Person = {ID: int; Name:string}
type People = JsonProvider<""" [{"ID":1,"Name":"First"},{"ID":2,"Name":"Second"}] """>

People.GetSamples()
|> Array.map(fun x -> {ID = x.Id; Name = x.Name} )
|> Array.iter(fun x -> printfn "%i  %s" x.ID x.Name)

Print:


1  First
2  Second

Go

Example below shows simple correspondence between JSON objects and Go maps, and shows that you don't have to know anything about the structure of the JSON data to read it in.

package main

import "encoding/json"
import "fmt"

func main() {
    var data interface{}
    err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(`{"foo":1, "bar":[10, "apples"]}`), &data)
    if err == nil {
        fmt.Println(data)
    } else {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

    sample := map[string]interface{}{
        "blue":  []interface{}{1, 2},
        "ocean": "water",
    }
    json_string, err := json.Marshal(sample)
    if err == nil {
        fmt.Println(string(json_string))
    } else {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
}

{{out}}


map[bar:[10 apples] foo:1]
{"blue":[1,2],"ocean":"water"}

Example below demonstrates more typical case where you have an expected correspondence between JSON data and some composite data types in your program, and shows how the correspondence doesn't have to be exact.

package main

import "encoding/json"
import "fmt"

type Person struct {
    Name string   `json:"name"`
    Age  int      `json:"age,omitempty"`
    Addr *Address `json:"address,omitempty"`
    Ph   []string `json:"phone,omitempty"`
}

type Address struct {
    Street string `json:"street"`
    City   string `json:"city"`
    State  string `json:"state"`
    Zip    string `json:"zip"`
}

func main() {
    // compare with output, note apt field ignored, missing fields
    // have zero values.
    jData := []byte(`{
        "name": "Smith",
        "address": {
            "street": "21 2nd Street",
            "apt": "507",
            "city": "New York",
            "state": "NY",
            "zip": "10021"
        }
    }`)
    var p Person
    err := json.Unmarshal(jData, &p)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    } else {
        fmt.Printf("%+v\n  %+v\n\n", p, p.Addr)
    }

    // compare with output, note empty fields omitted.
    pList := []Person{
        {
            Name: "Jones",
            Age:  21,
        },
        {
            Name: "Smith",
            Addr: &Address{"21 2nd Street", "New York", "NY", "10021"},
            Ph:   []string{"212 555-1234", "646 555-4567"},
        },
    }
    jData, err = json.MarshalIndent(pList, "", "    ")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    } else {
        fmt.Println(string(jData))
    }
}

{{out}}


{Name:Smith Age:0 Addr:0xf840026080 Ph:[]}
  &{Street:21 2nd Street City:New York State:NY Zip:10021}

[
    {
        "name": "Jones",
        "age": 21
    },
    {
        "name": "Smith",
        "address": {
            "street": "21 2nd Street",
            "city": "New York",
            "state": "NY",
            "zip": "10021"
        },
        "phone": [
            "212 555-1234",
            "646 555-4567"
        ]
    }
]

Gosu

Gosu consumes JSON as a Dynamic type via this core API:


gw.lang.reflect.json.Json#fromJson( String json ) : javax.script.Bindings

As the signature of the method suggests, you pass in a JSON string and receive standard script Bindings in return. Bindings is basically a map mirroring the tree structure of the JSON object. Internally Gosu supports any Bindings instance as a Dynamic Expando object. Essentially this means you can directly cast any Bindings instance to Dynamic and treat it as an Expando.

The following JSON example illustrates this:

Sample Person JSON (from http://gosu-lang.github.io/data/person.json):

{
  "Name": "Dickson Yamada",
  "Age": 39,
  "Address": {
    "Number": 9604,
    "Street": "Donald Court",
    "City": "Golden Shores",
    "State": "FL"
  },
  "Hobby": [
    {
      "Category": "Sport",
      "Name": "Baseball"
    },
    {
      "Category": "Recreation",
      "Name": "Hiking"
    }
  ]
}

And the dynamic Gosu code to access it:


var personUrl = new URL( "http://gosu-lang.github.io/data/person.json" )
var person: Dynamic = personUrl.JsonContent
print( person.Name )

Notice the JsonContent property on URL:


personUrl.JsonContent

This is a convenient enhancement property Gosu provides for Java’s URL class. It does all the work to get the JSON text and calls the new Json#fromJson() method for you. It also declares the Dynamic type for you as its return type, so the declared Dynamic type on the person var is unnecessary; it’s there to clearly demonstrate that the person var is indeed Dynamic.

As you can see we can access the Name property from the JSON object from the person var. This is all well and good, but falls short of our desired level of JSON support. Gosu being a static language, we really want that Name reference to be statically verified as well as code-completed in the IDE.

Here’s how we make the previous example work statically:


print( person.toStructure( "Person", false ) )

Gosu enhances Bindings with the method, toStructure( name: String, mutable: boolean ). Note the resulting structure is optionally mutable via the mutable argument. This method generates the complete nesting of types plus convenient factory methods:


structure Person {
  static function fromJson( jsonText: String ): Person {
    return gw.lang.reflect.json.Json.fromJson( jsonText ) as Person
  }
  static function fromJsonUrl( url: String ): Person {
    return new java.net.URL( url ).JsonContent
  }
  static function fromJsonUrl( url: java.net.URL ): Person {
    return url.JsonContent
  }
  static function fromJsonFile( file: java.io.File ) : Person {
    return fromJsonUrl( file.toURI().toURL() )
  }
  property get Address(): Address
  property get Hobby(): List<Hobby>
  property get Age(): Integer
  property get Name(): String
  structure Address {
    property get Number(): Integer
    property get State(): String
    property get Street(): String
    property get City(): String
  }
  structure Hobby {
    property get Category(): String
    property get Name(): String
  }
}

The Person structure reflects the JSON object’s implied type nesting. You can do whatever you like with this type. You can embed it as an inner structure in an existing class or make a top-level type. In any case all the types in the JSON object are uniquely preserved in one structure. Use it like this:


var person = Person.fromJsonUrl( personUrl )
print( person.Name )
print( person.Address.City )
print( person.Hobby[0].Name )

All statically verified and fully code completion friendly!

Other features:


print( person.toJson() ) // toJson() generates the Expando bindings to a JSON string
print( person.toGosu() ) // toGosu() generates any Bindings instance to a Gosu Expando initializer string
print( person.toXml() ) // toXml() generates any Bindings instance to standard XML

And similar to JavaScript, you can directly evaluate a Gosu Expando initializer string:


var clone = eval( person.toGosu() )

Groovy

Solution requires Groovy 1.8 or later.

Note that JsonSlurper accepts an extra comma such as [1,2,3,]. This is an extension to the [[http://www.json.org/fatfree.html JSON grammar]].

def slurper = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper()
def result = slurper.parseText('''
{
    "people":[
        {"name":{"family":"Flintstone","given":"Frederick"},"age":35,"relationships":{"wife":"people[1]","child":"people[4]"}},
        {"name":{"family":"Flintstone","given":"Wilma"},"age":32,"relationships":{"husband":"people[0]","child":"people[4]"}},
        {"name":{"family":"Rubble","given":"Barnard"},"age":30,"relationships":{"wife":"people[3]","child":"people[5]"}},
        {"name":{"family":"Rubble","given":"Elisabeth"},"age":32,"relationships":{"husband":"people[2]","child":"people[5]"}},
        {"name":{"family":"Flintstone","given":"Pebbles"},"age":1,"relationships":{"mother":"people[1]","father":"people[0]"}},
        {"name":{"family":"Rubble","given":"Bam-Bam"},"age":1,"relationships":{"mother":"people[3]","father":"people[2]"}},
    ]
}
''')

Test:

result.each { println it.key; it.value.each {person -> println person} }

assert result.people[0].name == [family:'Flintstone', given:'Frederick']
assert result.people[4].age == 1
assert result.people[2].relationships.wife == 'people[3]'
assert result.people[3].name == [family:'Rubble', given:'Elisabeth']
assert Eval.x(result, 'x.' + result.people[2].relationships.wife + '.name') == [family:'Rubble', given:'Elisabeth']
assert Eval.x(result, 'x.' + result.people[1].relationships.husband + '.name') == [family:'Flintstone', given:'Frederick']

Note that these are not strict inverses of each other.  These routines allow data to be extracted from json and packed into json format, but only in a minimalistic sense.  No attempts are made to preserve the subtleties of type and structure which json can carry.  This should be good enough for most applications which are required to deal with json but will not be adequate for ill behaved applications which exploit the typing mechanism to carry significant information.

Also, a different serializer will probably be necessary, if you are delivering json to legacy javascript.  Nevertheless, these simplifications are probably appropriate for practical cases.


## Java

This uses [http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/ Gson], a library to convert JSON to Java objects and vice-versa.

```Java
import com.google.gson.Gson;

public class JsonExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Gson gson = new Gson();
		String json = "{ \"foo\": 1, \"bar\": [ \"10\", \"apples\"] }";

		MyJsonObject obj = gson.fromJson(json, MyJsonObject.class);

		System.out.println(obj.getFoo());

		for(String bar : obj.getBar()) {
			System.out.println(bar);
		}

		obj = new MyJsonObject(2, new String[] { "20", "oranges" });
		json = gson.toJson(obj);

		System.out.println(json);
	}

}

class MyJsonObject {

	private int foo;
	private String[] bar;

	public MyJsonObject(int foo, String[] bar) {
		this.foo = foo;
		this.bar = bar;
	}

	public int getFoo() {
		return foo;
	}

	public String[] getBar() {
		return bar;
	}

}

JavaScript

Requires JSON library, now present in all major browsers.

var data = JSON.parse('{ "foo": 1, "bar": [10, "apples"] }');

var sample = { "blue": [1,2], "ocean": "water" };
var json_string = JSON.stringify(sample);

JSON is called ''JavaScript'' Object Notation, but JSON differs form JavaScript object literal. cf. [https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON MDN/JSON]

jq

JSON is jq's native data format, so nothing need be done to parse JSON input. For example, to "pretty print" a stream of JSON entities (including scalars), it would be sufficient to use the jq program:



Here are the jq equivalents of the examples given in the section on Julia, assuming the file data.json holds the following JSON text:

{ "blue": [1,2], "ocean": "water" }


```jq
jq -c . data.json

produces:

{"blue":[1,2],"ocean":"water"}


produces:
"{\"blue\":[1,2],\"ocean\":\"water\"}"


## Jsish


```javascript
prompt$ jsish
Jsish interactive: see 'help [cmd]'
# var data = JSON.parse('{ "foo": 1, "bar": [10, "apples"] }');
variable
# data
{ bar:[ 10, "apples" ], foo:1 }

# var sample = { blue: [1,2], ocean: "water" };
variable
# sample
{ blue:[ 1, 2 ], ocean:"water" }

# puts(JSON.stringify(sample))
{ "blue":[ 1, 2 ], "ocean":"water" }

Julia

{{works with|Julia|0.6}}

# Pkg.add("JSON") ... an external library http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/packages/packagelist/
using JSON

sample = Dict()
sample["blue"] = [1, 2]
sample["ocean"] = "water"

@show sample jsonstring = json(sample)
@show jsonobj = JSON.parse(jsonstring)

@assert jsonstring == "{\"ocean\":\"water\",\"blue\":[1,2]}"
@assert jsonobj == Dict("ocean" => "water", "blue" => [1, 2])
@assert typeof(jsonobj) == Dict{String, Any}

Kotlin

We use Kotlin JS here to obtain access to the JavaScript JSON object:

// version 1.2.21

data class JsonObject(val foo: Int, val bar: Array<String>)

data class JsonObject2(val ocean: String, val blue: Array<Int>)

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    // JSON to object
    val data: JsonObject = JSON.parse("""{ "foo": 1, "bar": ["10", "apples"] }""")
    println(JSON.stringify(data))

    // object to JSON
    val data2 = JsonObject2("water", arrayOf(1, 2))
    println(JSON.stringify(data2))
}

{{out}}


{"foo":1,"bar":["10","apples"]}
{"ocean":"water","blue":[1,2]}

Lasso

// Javascript objects are represented by maps in Lasso
local(mymap = map(
	'success'	= true,
	'numeric'	= 11,
	'string'	= 'Eleven'
))

json_serialize(#mymap) // {"numeric": 11,"string": "Eleven","success": true}
'<br />'

// Javascript arrays are represented by arrays
local(opendays = array(
	'Monday',
	'Tuesday'
))

local(closeddays = array(
	'Wednesday',
	'Thursday',
	'Friday'
))

json_serialize(#opendays) // ["Monday", "Tuesday"]
'<br />'
json_serialize(#closeddays) // ["Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"]
'<br />'

#mymap -> insert('Open' = #opendays)
#mymap -> insert('Closed' = #closeddays)

local(myjson = json_serialize(#mymap))
#myjson // {"Closed": ["Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"],"numeric": 11,"Open": ["Monday", "Tuesday"],"string": "Eleven","success": true}
'<br />'

json_deserialize(#myjson) // map(Closed = array(Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), numeric = 11, Open = array(Monday, Tuesday), string = Eleven, success = true)

LFE

This example uses the third-party library "Jiffy".

Encoding


(: jiffy encode (list 1 2 3 '"apple" 'true 3.14))

The result from that can be made a little more legible with the following:


(: erlang binary_to_list
  (: jiffy encode (list 1 2 3 '"apple" 'true 3.14)))

Decoding

We can run the encoding example in reverse, and get back what we put in above with the following:


(: jiffy decode '"[1,2,3,[97,112,112,108,101],true,3.14]")

Here's a key-value example:


(: jiffy decode '"{\"foo\": [1, 2, 3]}")

Decoding to Patterns

We can also extract the key and value using Erlang patterns:


(let (((tuple (list (tuple key value)))
       (: jiffy decode '"{\"foo\": [1, 2, 3]}")))
  (: io format '"~p: ~p~n" (list key value)))

Lingo

Lingo has no native JSON support. A JSON library could of course be written in pure Lingo or as binary plugin ("Xtra").

But since Director - the only implementation of Lingo - also includes a SpiderMonkey JS engine (rather outdated and without native JSON object), we can implement a simple (unsafe) JSON encoder/decoder with the following two movie scripts:

JavaScript movie script "JSON":

//--------------------------------------
// Simple (unsafe) JSON decoder based on eval()
// @param {string} json
// @return {any}
//--------------------------------------
function json_decode (json){
  var o;
  eval('o='+json);
  return _json_decode_val(o);
}

function _json_decode_val (o){
  if (o==null) return undefined;
  switch(typeof(o)){
    case "object":
      if (o instanceof Array){
        var v = list();
        var cnt = o.length;
        for (i=0;i<cnt;i++){
          v.add(_json_decode_val(o[i]));
        }
      }else{
        var v = propList();
        for (var i in o){
          var p = i;
          v.setAProp(_json_decode_val(p), _json_decode_val(o[i]));
        }
      }
      return v;
    case "string":
      // optional support of special Lingo data type 'symbol' unknown to JavaScript
      if (o.substr(0,7)=='__sym__') return symbol(o.substr(7));
      return o;
    default:
      return o;
  }
}

function _json_escape_string (str){
  var hash={"\\":"\\\\", "/":"\\/", "\n":"\\n", "\t":"\\t", "\r":"\\r", "\b":"\\b", "\f":"\\f", "\"":"\\\""};
  var patt = "["; for (i in hash) patt+=i;patt+="]";
  return str.replace(RegExp(patt, "g"), function(c){
    return hash[c]
  });
}

Lingo movie script "JSON":

----------------------------------------
-- JSON encoder
-- Supported Lingo data types: VOID, integer, float, string, symbol, list, propList
-- @param {any} o
-- @return {string}
----------------------------------------
on json_encode (o)
  case ilk(o) of
    #void:
      return "null"
    #integer, #float:
      return string(o)
    #string:
      return QUOTE & _json_escape_string(o) & QUOTE
    #list:
      res = []
      repeat with v in o
        res.add(json_encode(v))
      end repeat
      return "[" & _cimplode(res) & "]"
    #propList:
      res = []
      cnt = count(o)
      repeat with i = 1 to cnt
        p = o.getPropAt(i)
        v = o[i]
        res.add( json_encode(p)&":"&json_encode(v) )
      end repeat
      return "{" & _cimplode(res) & "}"
    #symbol:
      -- optional support of special Lingo data type 'symbol' unknown to JavaScript
      return QUOTE &"__sym__"&_json_escape_string(string(o)) & QUOTE
    otherwise:
      put "ERROR: unsupported data type"
  end case
end

----------------------------------------
-- Implodes list into comma-separated string
-- @param {list} l
-- @return {string}
----------------------------------------
on _cimplode (l)
  str=""
  repeat with i=1 to l.count
    put l[i]&"," after str
  end repeat
  delete the last char of str
  return str
end

Usage:

data_org = [\
  42,\
  3.14159,\
  [2, 4, #fooBar, "apples", "bananas", "cherries" ],\
  ["foo": 1, #bar: VOID, "Hello": "world!"],\
  VOID\
]

json_str = json_encode(data_org) -- valid according to JSONLint

data_decoded = json_decode(json_str)

put data_org
-- [42, 3.1416, [2, 4, #fooBar, "apples", "bananas", "cherries"], ["foo": 1, #bar: <Void>, "Hello": "world!"], <Void>]
put data_decoded
-- [42, 3.1416, [2, 4, #fooBar, "apples", "bananas", "cherries"], ["foo": 1, #bar: <Void>, "Hello": "world!"], <Void>]

Lua

Using the [http://www.eharning.us/wiki/luajson/ luajson] library:

local json = require("json")

local json_data = [=[[
    42,
    3.14159,
    [ 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, "apples", "bananas", "cherries" ],
    { "H": 1, "He": 2, "X": null, "Li": 3 },
    null,
    true,
    false
]]=]

print("Original JSON: " .. json_data)
local data = json.decode(json_data)
json.util.printValue(data, 'Lua')
print("JSON re-encoded: " .. json.encode(data))

local data = {
    42,
    3.14159,
    {
        2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,
        "apples",
        "bananas",
        "cherries"
    },
    {
        H = 1,
        He = 2,
        X = json.util.null(),
        Li = 3
    },
    json.util.null(),
    true,
    false
}

print("JSON from new Lua data: " .. json.encode(data))

Since in Lua nil signifies an ''undefined'' value, i.e. a variable or table entry with a nil value is undistinguishable from an undefined variable or non-existing table entry, a null value in JSON notation is decoded to a special function value, which ensures that it can be re-encoded properly to null again. To manually insert a null value in the JSON output, use the json.util.null function.

{{out}} Original JSON: [ 42, 3.14159, [ 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, "apples", "bananas", "cherries" ], { "H": 1, "He": 2, "X": null, "Li": 3 }, null, true, false ] Lua= { 1=42 2=3.14159 3= { 1=2 2=4 3=8 4=16 5=32 6=64 7=[[apples]] 8=[[bananas]] 9=[[cherries]] 4= { Li=3 He=2 H=1 X=function: 0x8f6f00 5=function: 0x8f6f00 6=true 7=false JSON re-encoded: [42,3.14159,[2,4,8,16,32,64,"apples","bananas","cherries"],{"Li":3,"He":2,"H":1,"X":null},null,true,false] JSON from new Lua data: [42,3.14159,[2,4,8,16,32,64,"apples","bananas","cherries"],{"Li":3,"He":2,"H":1,"X":null},null,true,false]

M2000 Interpreter

PicoLisp

PicoLisp has no JSON library, but it is easy enough to write one. The following supports only fixpoint numbers (no floating point, as it doesn't exist in PicoLisp). Arrays and objects are both mapped to lists.

(de checkJson (X Item)
   (unless (= X Item)
      (quit "Bad JSON" Item) ) )

               (checkJson ":" (readJson))
               (link (cons X (readJson)))
               (T (= "}" (setq X (readJson))))
               (checkJson "," X) ) ) )
      ("["
         (make
            (link T)  # Array marker
            (for (X (readJson)  (not (= "]" X))  (readJson))
               (link X)
               (T (= "]" (setq X (readJson))))
               (checkJson "," X) ) ) )
      (T
         (let X @
            (cond
               ((pair X) (pack X))
               ((and (= "-" X) (format (peek)))
                  (- (read)) )
               (T X) ) ) ) ) )

(de printJson (Item)  # For simplicity, without indentation
   (cond
      ((atom Item) (if Item (print @) (prin "{}")))
      ((=T (car Item))
         (prin "[")
         (map
            '((X)
               (printJson (car X))
               (and (cdr X) (prin ", ")) )

               (and (cdr X) (prin ", ")) )
            Item )
         (prin "}") ) ) )

This reads/prints JSON from/to files, pipes, sockets etc. To read from a string, a pipe can be used:

: (pipe (prinl "{ \"foo\": 1, \"bar\": [10, \"apples\"] }")
   (readJson) )
-> (("foo" . 1) ("bar" T 10 "apples"))

: (printJson

      ("name" . "Smith")

      ("address"
         ("street" . "21 2nd Street")
         ("city" . "New York")
         ("state" . "NY")
         ("zip" . "10021") )
      ("phone" T "212 555-1234" "646 555-4567") ) )

Prolog

Using SWI-Prolog 7's library(http/json), and the new dict datatype, there is nearly transparent handling of JSON objects. All of the serialization and parsing in the following code is accomplished with two predicates. The rest of the code is for the sake of example.

:- use_module([ library(http/json),
                library(func) ]).

test_json('{"widget": { "debug": "on", "window": { "title": "Sample Konfabulator Widget", "name": "main_window", "width": 500, "height": 500 }, "image": { "src": "Images/Sun.png", "name": "sun1", "hOffset": 250, "vOffset": 250, "alignment": "center" }, "text": { "data": "Click Here", "size": 36, "style": "bold", "name": "text1", "hOffset": 250, "vOffset": 100, "alignment": "center", "onMouseUp": "sun1.opacity = (sun1.opacity / 100) * 90;" }}}').

reading_JSON_term :-
    atom_json_dict(test_json(~), Dict, []), %% This accomplishes reading in the JSON data
    writeln( 'JSON as Prolog dict: ~w~n'
           $ Dict),
    writeln( 'Access field "widget.text.data": ~s~n'
           $ Dict.widget.text.data),
    writeln( 'Alter field "widget": ~w~n'
           $ Dict.put(widget, "Altered")).

searalize_a_JSON_term :-
    Dict = _{book:_{title:"To Mock a Mocking Bird",
                    author:_{first_name:"Ramond",
                             last_name:"Smullyan"},

Because most of JSON is valid Python syntax (except "true", "false", and "null", and a few obscure escape sequences), it is also possible (but not recommended) to parse JSON using eval():

 true = True; false = False; null = None
>>> data = eval('{ "foo": 1, "bar": [10, "apples"] }')
>>> data
{'foo': 1, 'bar': [10, 'apples']}

Tcl

For parsing JSON, {{tcllib|json}} provides the capability (see [http://wiki.tcl.tk/13419 the Tcler's Wiki page on it] for more discussion):

package require json
set sample {{ "foo": 1, "bar": [10, "apples"] }}

set parsed [json::json2dict $sample]
puts $parsed

{{out}}

foo 1 bar {10 apples}

However, that package is very weak in its generation of JSON because Tcl's official type system is substantially different to that envisaged by JSON. It's possible to work around this though the use of Tcl 8.6, as this next example shows:

{{works with|Tcl|8.6}} {{tcllib|json::write}}

package require Tcl 8.6
package require json::write

proc tcl2json value {
    # Guess the type of the value; deep *UNSUPPORTED* magic!
    regexp {^value is a (.*?) with a refcount} \
	[::tcl::unsupported::representation $value] -> type

    switch $type {
	string {
	    return [json::write string $value]
	}
	dict {
	    return [json::write object {*}[
		dict map {k v} $value {tcl2json $v}]]
	}
	list {
	    return [json::write array {*}[lmap v $value {tcl2json $v}]]
	}
	int - double {
	    return [expr {$value}]
	}
	booleanString {
	    return [expr {$value ? "true" : "false"}]
	}
	default {
	    # Some other type; do some guessing...
	    if {$value eq "null"} {
		# Tcl has *no* null value at all; empty strings are semantically
		# different and absent variables aren't values. So cheat!
		return $value
	    } elseif {[string is integer -strict $value]} {
		return [expr {$value}]
	    } elseif {[string is double -strict $value]} {
		return [expr {$value}]
	    } elseif {[string is boolean -strict $value]} {
		return [expr {$value ? "true" : "false"}]
	    }
	    return [json::write string $value]
	}
    }
}

Sample code (note that the value is built with dict create and list so that there is some auxiliary type hints available, which the above procedure can read):

set d [dict create blue [list 1 2] ocean water]
puts [tcl2json $d]

{{out}}


{
    "blue"  : [1,2],
    "ocean" : "water"
}

Note that this is capable of correctly handling the round-trip of values parsed from the json package described above.

TXR

Parsing

The following implements the parsing half of the task. It is a parser closely based on the JSON grammar [[http://www.json.org/fatfree.html]].

It is implemented with recursive horizontal pattern matching functions, and so basically the definition resembles a grammar. Horizontal functions are a new feature in TXR, and basically allow the language to easily specify LL grammars with indefinite lookahead, not restricted to regular languages (thanks to TXR's backtracking). The numerous occurences of @\ in the code are line continuations. Horizontal functions must be written on one logical line. @\ eats the whitespace at the start of the next physical line, to allow indentation.

The parser translates to a nested list structure in which the types are labeled with the strings "O", "A", "N", "S" and "K". (Object, array, number, string, and keyword).

The largest grammar rule handles JSON string literals. The strategy is to generate a HTML string and then filter from HTML using the :from_html filter in TXR. For instance \uABCD is translated to &#xABCD; and then the filter will produce the proper Unicode character. Similarly " is translated to &quot; and \n is translated to etc.

A little liberty is taken: the useless commas in JSON are treated as optional.

Superfluous terminating commas (not generated by the JSON grammar but accepted by some other parsers) are not allowed by this parser.

A few tests. Note, the badsyntax variable is bound to any trailing portion of the input that does not match the syntax. The call to the parser @(value v) extracts the longest prefix of the input which is consistent with the syntax, leaving the remainder to be matched into badsyntax.

$ echo  -n '{ "a" : { "b" : 3, "c" : [1,2,3] }  }[' | ./txr -l json.txr -
(v "O" ((("S" "a") ("O" ((("S" "b") ("N" "3")) (("S" "c") ("A" (("N" "1") ("N" "2") ("N" "3")))))))))
(badsyntax . "[\n")

$ echo  -n '"\u1234"' | ./txr -l json.txr -
(v "S" "\11064")
(badsyntax . "")

XQuery

The XPath 3.1 standard specifies an XML format to store JSON information. Different XQuery processors implement their own JSON parsers in addition to the XPath functions. One such function has been added, to show, how to map JSON into an XPath map using the BaseX processor. As XQuery is a superset of XPath, the following code is valid XQuery 3.1. Except for 'null', which does not exist in the XPath data model, all JSON datatypes have their XPath equivalent. 'Null' is being represented by the empty sequence. This gets shown at the last function invocation, which creates an XPath map. It may be interesting to note, that the different options for the json serializers and parsers have not been used here.

        true,
        false,
        null,
        "foo"
    ]
}|;
#<<<
obj:=YAJL().write(src).close();
// or obj:=src.pump(YAJL()).close(); // for example, from file or socket
obj.println();

{{out}}


D(pi:3.14,an array:L(-1,True,False,Void,"foo"),large number:123456789123456791)

From zkl to JSON:
