DEPRECATED - Incorporated into JSON3
An F# inspired type provider to JSON. Given a JSON3 Object or Array, create a type from it, and write it to file.
import JSON3
import JSONTypeProvider
json = JSON3.read(read("test/menu.json", String)) # either a JSON3.Array or JSON3.Object
# build a type for the JSON
raw_json_type = JSONTypeProvider.build_type(json)
# result:
# NamedTuple{(:menu,),Tuple{NamedTuple{(:header, :items),Tuple{String,Array{Union{Nothing, NamedTuple{(:id, :label),Tuple{String,Union{Nothing, String}}}},1}}}}}
# turn the type into struct expressions, including replacing sub types with references to a struct
json_exprs = JSONTypeProvider.to_exprs(raw_json_type, :MyStruct)
# result:
# 3-element Array{Any,1}:
# :(struct Item
# id::String
# label::Union{Nothing, String}
# end)
# :(struct Menu
# header::String
# items::Array{Union{Nothing, Item}, 1}
# end)
# :(struct MyStruct
# menu::Menu
# end)
# write the types to a file, then can be edited/included as needed
JSONTypeProvider.write_exprs(json_exprs, "test.jl")In the example above, the file test/menu.json:
{
"menu": {
"header": "SVG\\tViewer\\u03b1",
"items": [
{
"id": "Open"
},
{
"id": "OpenNew",
"label": "Open New"
},
{
"id": "ZoomIn",
"label": "Zoom In"
},
null,
{
"id": "Help"
},
{
"id": "About",
"label": "About Adobe SVG Viewer..."
}
]
}
}is parsed into the following types:
struct Item
id::String
label::Union{Nothing, String}
end
struct Menu
header::String
items::Array{Union{Nothing, Item}, 1}
end
struct MyStruct
menu::Menu
end
