7 /* A JSON pretty-printer class. */
9 // A typical JSON-writing library requires you to first build up a data
10 // structure that represents a JSON object and then serialize it (to file, or
11 // somewhere else). This approach makes for a clean API, but building the data
12 // structure takes up memory. Sometimes that isn't desirable, such as when the
13 // JSON data is produced for memory reporting.
15 // The JSONWriter class instead allows JSON data to be written out
16 // incrementally without building up large data structures.
18 // The API is slightly uglier than you would see in a typical JSON-writing
19 // library, but still fairly easy to use. It's possible to generate invalid
20 // JSON with JSONWriter, but typically the most basic testing will identify any
21 // such problems.
23 // Similarly, there are no RAII facilities for automatically closing objects
24 // and arrays. These would be nice if you are generating all your code within
25 // nested functions, but in other cases you'd have to maintain an explicit
26 // stack of RAII objects and manually unwind it, which is no better than just
27 // calling "end" functions. Furthermore, the consequences of forgetting to
28 // close an object or array are obvious and, again, will be identified via
29 // basic testing, unlike other cases where RAII is typically used (e.g. smart
30 // pointers) and the consequences of defects are more subtle.
32 // Importantly, the class does solve the two hard problems of JSON
33 // pretty-printing, which are (a) correctly escaping strings, and (b) adding
34 // appropriate indentation and commas between items.
36 // By default, every property is placed on its own line. However, it is
37 // possible to request that objects and arrays be placed entirely on a single
38 // line, which can reduce output size significantly in some cases.
40 // Strings used (for property names and string property values) are |const
41 // char*| throughout, and can be ASCII or UTF-8.
43 // EXAMPLE
44 // -------
45 // Assume that |MyWriteFunc| is a class that implements |JSONWriteFunc|. The
46 // following code:
48 // JSONWriter w(MakeUnique<MyWriteFunc>());
49 // w.Start();
50 // {
51 // w.NullProperty("null");
52 // w.BoolProperty("bool", true);
53 // w.IntProperty("int", 1);
54 // w.StartArrayProperty("array");
55 // {
56 // w.StringElement("string");
57 // w.StartObjectElement();
58 // {
59 // w.DoubleProperty("double", 3.4);
60 // w.StartArrayProperty("single-line array", w.SingleLineStyle);
61 // {
62 // w.IntElement(1);
63 // w.StartObjectElement(); // SingleLineStyle is inherited from
64 // w.EndObjectElement(); // above for this collection
65 // }
66 // w.EndArray();
67 // }
68 // w.EndObjectElement();
69 // }
70 // w.EndArrayProperty();
71 // }
72 // w.End();
74 // will produce pretty-printed output for the following JSON object:
76 // {
77 // "null": null,
78 // "bool": true,
79 // "int": 1,
80 // "array": [
81 // "string",
82 // {
83 // "double": 3.4,
84 // "single-line array": [1, {}]
85 // }
86 // ]
87 // }
89 // The nesting in the example code is obviously optional, but can aid
90 // readability.
