2 * Parsing KEY=VALUE,... strings
4 * Copyright (C) 2017 Red Hat Inc.

10 * See the COPYING file in the top-level directory.
14 * KEY=VALUE,... syntax:
16 * key-vals = [ key-val { ',' key-val } [ ',' ] ]
17 * key-val = key '=' val | help
18 * key = key-fragment { '.' key-fragment }
19 * key-fragment = / [^=,.]+ /
20 * val = { / [^,]+ / | ',,' }
21 * help = 'help' | '?'
23 * Semantics defined by reduction to JSON:
25 * key-vals specifies a JSON object, i.e. a tree whose root is an
26 * object, inner nodes other than the root are objects or arrays,
27 * and leaves are strings.
29 * Each key-val = key-fragment '.' ... '=' val specifies a path from
30 * root to a leaf (left of '='), and the leaf's value (right of
31 * '=').
33 * A path from the root is defined recursively:
34 * L '.' key-fragment is a child of the node denoted by path L
35 * key-fragment is a child of the tree root
36 * If key-fragment is numeric, the parent is an array and the child
37 * is its key-fragment-th member, counting from zero.
38 * Else, the parent is an object, and the child is its member named
39 * key-fragment.
41 * This constrains inner nodes to be either array or object. The
42 * constraints must be satisfiable. Counter-example: a.b=1,a=2 is
43 * not, because root.a must be an object to satisfy a.b=1 and a
44 * string to satisfy a=2.
46 * Array subscripts can occur in any order, but the set of
47 * subscripts must not have gaps. For instance, a.1=v is not okay,
48 * because root.a[0] is missing.
50 * If multiple key-val denote the same leaf, the last one determines
51 * the value.
53 * Key-fragments must be valid QAPI names or consist only of decimal
54 * digits.
56 * The length of any key-fragment must be between 1 and 127.
58 * If any key-val is help, the object is to be treated as a help
59 * request.
61 * Design flaw: there is no way to denote an empty array or non-root
62 * object. While interpreting "key absent" as empty seems natural
63 * (removing a key-val from the input string removes the member when
64 * there are more, so why not when it's the last), it doesn't work:
65 * "key absent" already means "optional object/array absent", which
66 * isn't the same as "empty object/array present".
68 * Design flaw: scalar values can only be strings; there is no way to
69 * denote numbers, true, false or null. The special QObject input
70 * visitor returned by qobject_input_visitor_new_keyval() mostly hides
71 * this by automatically converting strings to the type the visitor
72 * expects. Breaks down for type 'any', where the visitor's
73 * expectation isn't clear. Code visiting 'any' needs to do the
74 * conversion itself, but only when using this keyval visitor.
75 * Awkward. Note that we carefully restrict alternate types to avoid
76 * similar ambiguity.
78 * Alternative syntax for use with an implied key:
80 * key-vals = [ key-val-1st { ',' key-val } [ ',' ] ]
81 * key-val-1st = val-no-key | key-val
82 * val-no-key = / [^=,]+ / - help
84 * where val-no-key is syntactic sugar for implied-key=val-no-key.
86 * Note that you can't use the sugared form when the value contains
87 * '=' or ','.
