NAMECpanel::JSON::XS::Type − Type support for JSON encode

SYNOPSIS​ use Cpanel::JSON::XS; ​ use Cpanel::JSON::XS::Type; ​ ​ ​ encode_json([10, "10", 10.25], [JSON_TYPE_INT, JSON_TYPE_INT, JSON_TYPE_STRING]); ​ # '[10,10,"10.25"]' ​ ​ encode_json([10, "10", 10.25], json_type_arrayof(JSON_TYPE_INT)); ​ # '[10,10,10]' ​ ​ encode_json(1, JSON_TYPE_BOOL); ​ # 'true' ​ ​ my $perl_struct = { key1 => 1, key2 => "2", key3 => 1 }; ​ my $type_spec = { key1 => JSON_TYPE_STRING, key2 => JSON_TYPE_INT, key3 => JSON_TYPE_BOOL }; ​ my $json_string = encode_json($perl_struct, $type_spec); ​ # '{"key1":"1","key2":2,"key3":true}' ​ ​ my $perl_struct = { key1 => "value1", key2 => "value2", key3 => 0, key4 => 1, key5 => "string", key6 => "string2" }; ​ my $type_spec = json_type_hashof(JSON_TYPE_STRING); ​ my $json_string = encode_json($perl_struct, $type_spec); ​ # '{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2","key3":"0","key4":"1","key5":"string","key6":"string2"}' ​ ​ my $perl_struct = { key1 => { key2 => [ 10, "10", 10.6 ] }, key3 => "10.5" }; ​ my $type_spec = { key1 => json_type_anyof(JSON_TYPE_FLOAT, json_type_hashof(json_type_arrayof(JSON_TYPE_INT))), key3 => JSON_TYPE_FLOAT }; ​ my $json_string = encode_json($perl_struct, $type_spec); ​ # '{"key1":{"key2":[10,10,10]},"key3":10.5}' ​ ​ ​ my $value = decode_json('false', 1, my $type); ​ # $value is 0 and $type is JSON_TYPE_BOOL ​ ​ my $value = decode_json('0', 1, my $type); ​ # $value is 0 and $type is JSON_TYPE_INT ​ ​ my $value = decode_json('"0"', 1, my $type); ​ # $value is 0 and $type is JSON_TYPE_STRING ​ ​ my $json_string = '{"key1":{"key2":[10,"10",10.6]},"key3":"10.5"}'; ​ my $perl_struct = decode_json($json_string, 0, my $type_spec); ​ # $perl_struct is { key1 => { key2 => [ 10, 10, 10.6 ] }, key3 => 10.5 } ​ # $type_spec is { key1 => { key2 => [ JSON_TYPE_INT, JSON_TYPE_STRING, JSON_TYPE_FLOAT ] }, key3 => JSON_TYPE_STRING }

DESCRIPTIONThis module provides stable JSON type support for the Cpanel::JSON::XS encoder which doesn't depend on any internal perl scalar flags or characteristics. Also it provides real JSON types for Cpanel::JSON::XS decoder. In most cases perl structures passed to encode_json come from other functions or from other modules and caller of Cpanel::JSON::XS module does not have control of internals or they are subject of change. So it is not easy to support enforcing types as described in the simple scalars section. For services based on JSON contents it is sometimes needed to correctly process and enforce JSON types. The function decode_json takes optional third scalar parameter and fills it with specification of json types. The function encode_json takes a perl structure as its input and optionally also a json type specification in the second parameter. If the specification is not provided (or is undef) internal perl scalar flags are used for the resulting JSON type. The internal flags can be changed by perl itself, but also by external modules. Which means that types in resulting JSON string aren't stable. Specially it does not work reliable for dual vars and scalars which were used in both numeric and string operations. See simple scalars. To enforce that specification is always provided use require_types. In this case when encode is called without second argument (or is undef) then it croaks. It applies recursively for all sub-structures.

JSON type specification for scalars:JSON_TYPE_BOOL It enforces JSON boolean in resulting JSON, i.e. either true or ​false. For determining whether the scalar passed to the encoder is true, standard perl boolean logic is used. JSON_TYPE_INT It enforces JSON number without fraction part in the resulting JSON. Equivalent of perl function int is used for conversion. JSON_TYPE_FLOAT It enforces JSON number with fraction part in the resulting JSON. Equivalent of perl operation +0 is used for conversion. JSON_TYPE_STRING It enforces JSON string type in the resulting JSON. JSON_TYPE_NULL It represents JSON null value. Makes sense only when passing perl's undef value. For each type, there also exists a type with the suffix _OR_NULL which encodes perl's undef into JSON null. Without type with suffix _OR_NULL perl's undef is converted to specific type according to above rules.

JSON type specification for arrays:[...] The array must contain the same number of elements as in the perl array passed for encoding. Each element of the array describes the ​JSON type which is enforced for the corresponding element of the perl array. json_type_arrayof This function takes a JSON type specification as its argument which is enforced for every element of the passed perl array.

JSON type specification for hashes:{...} Each hash value for corresponding key describes the JSON type specification for values of passed perl hash structure. Keys in hash which are not present in passed perl hash structure are simple ignored and not used. json_type_hashof This function takes a JSON type specification as its argument which is enforced for every value of passed perl hash structure.

JSON type specification for alternatives:json_type_anyof This function takes a list of JSON type alternative specifications (maximally one scalar, one array, and one hash) as its input and the ​JSON encoder chooses one that matches. json_type_null_or_anyof Like json_type_anyof, but scalar can be only perl's undef.

Recursive specificationsjson_type_weaken This function can be used as an argument for json_type_arrayof, ​json_type_hashof or json_type_anyof functions to create weak references suitable for complicated recursive structures. It depends on the weaken function from Scalar::Util module. See following example: ​ my $struct = { ​ type => JSON_TYPE_STRING, ​ array => json_type_arrayof(JSON_TYPE_INT), ​ }; ​ $struct−>{recursive} = json_type_anyof( ​ json_type_weaken($struct), ​ json_type_arrayof(JSON_TYPE_STRING), ​ ); If you want to encode all perl scalars to JSON string types despite how complicated is input perl structure you can define JSON type specification for alternatives recursively. It could be defined as: ​ my $type = json_type_anyof(); ​ $type−>[0] = JSON_TYPE_STRING_OR_NULL; ​ $type−>[1] = json_type_arrayof(json_type_weaken($type)); ​ $type−>[2] = json_type_hashof(json_type_weaken($type)); ​ ​ print encode_json([ 10, "10", { key => 10 } ], $type); ​ # ["10","10",{"key":"10"}] An alternative solution for encoding all scalars to JSON strings is to use type_all_string method of Cpanel::JSON::XS itself: ​ my $json = Cpanel::JSON::XS−>new−>type_all_string; ​ print $json−>encode([ 10, "10", { key => 10 } ]); ​ # ["10","10",{"key":"10"}]
