== json - JSON Implementation for Ruby
|
2
|
-
|
3
|
-
=== Description
|
4
|
-
|
5
|
-
This is a implementation of the JSON specification according to RFC 4627
|
6
|
-
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt). Starting from version 1.0.0 on there
|
7
|
-
will be two variants available:
|
8
|
-
|
9
|
-
* A pure ruby variant, that relies on the iconv and the stringscan
|
10
|
-
extensions, which are both part of the ruby standard library.
|
11
|
-
* The quite a bit faster C extension variant, which is in parts implemented
|
12
|
-
in C and comes with its own unicode conversion functions and a parser
|
13
|
-
generated by the ragel state machine compiler
|
14
|
-
(http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/ragel).
|
15
|
-
|
16
|
-
Both variants of the JSON generator escape all non-ASCII an control
|
17
|
-
characters with \uXXXX escape sequences, and support UTF-16 surrogate pairs
|
18
|
-
in order to be able to generate the whole range of unicode code points. This
|
19
|
-
means that generated JSON text is encoded as UTF-8 (because ASCII is a subset
|
20
|
-
of UTF-8) and at the same time avoids decoding problems for receiving
|
21
|
-
endpoints, that don't expect UTF-8 encoded texts. On the negative side this
|
22
|
-
may lead to a bit longer strings than necessarry.
|
23
|
-
|
24
|
-
All strings, that are to be encoded as JSON strings, should be UTF-8 byte
|
25
|
-
sequences on the Ruby side. To encode raw binary strings, that aren't UTF-8
|
26
|
-
encoded, please use the to_json_raw_object method of String (which produces
|
27
|
-
an object, that contains a byte array) and decode the result on the receiving
|
28
|
-
endpoint.

=== Usage
|
50
|
-
|
51
|
-
To use JSON you can
|
52
|
-
require 'json'
|
53
|
-
to load the installed variant (either the extension 'json' or the pure
|
54
|
-
variant 'json_pure'). If you have installed the extension variant, you can
|
55
|
-
pick either the extension variant or the pure variant by typing
|
56
|
-
require 'json/ext'
|
57
|
-
or
|
58
|
-
require 'json/pure'
|
59
|
-
|
60
|
-
You can choose to load a set of common additions to ruby core's objects if
|
61
|
-
you
|
62
|
-
require 'json/add/core'
|
63
|
-
|
64
|
-
After requiring this you can, e. g., serialise/deserialise Ruby ranges:
|
65
|
-
|
66
|
-
JSON JSON(1..10) # => 1..10
|
67
|
-
|
68
|
-
To find out how to add JSON support to other or your own classes, read the
|
69
|
-
Examples section below.
|
70
|
-
|
71
|
-
To get the best compatibility to rails' JSON implementation, you can
|
72
|
-
require 'json/add/rails'
|
73
|
-
|
74
|
-
Both of the additions attempt to require 'json' (like above) first, if it has
|
75
|
-
not been required yet.
|
76
|
-
|
77
|
-
=== Speed Comparisons
|
78
|
-
|
79
|
-
I have created some benchmark results (see the benchmarks/data-p4-3Ghz
|
80
|
-
subdir of the package) for the JSON-parser to estimate the speed up in the C
|

In the table above 1 is JSON::Ext::Parser, 2 is YAML.load with YAML
|
100
|
-
compatbile JSON document, 3 is is JSON::Pure::Parser, and 4 is
|
101
|
-
ActiveSupport::JSON.decode. The ActiveSupport JSON-decoder converts the
|
102
|
-
input first to YAML and then uses the YAML-parser, the conversion seems to
|
103
|
-
slow it down so much that it is only as fast as the JSON::Pure::Parser!
|
104
|
-
|
105
|
-
If you look at the benchmark data you can see that this is mostly caused by
|
106
|
-
the frequent high outliers - the median of the Rails-parser runs is still
|
107
|
-
overall smaller than the median of the JSON::Pure::Parser runs:

In the table above 1-3 are JSON::Ext::Generator methods. 4, 6, and 7 are
|
155
|
-
JSON::Pure::Generator methods and 5 is the Rails JSON generator. It is now a
|
156
|
-
bit faster than the generator_safe and generator_pretty methods of the pure
|
157
|
-
variant but slower than the others.
|
158
|
-
|
159
|
-
To achieve the fastest JSON text output, you can use the fast_generate
|
160
|
-
method. Beware, that this will disable the checking for circular Ruby data
|
161
|
-
structures, which may cause JSON to go into an infinite loop.

=== Examples
|
191
|
-
|
192
|
-
To create a JSON text from a ruby data structure, you can call JSON.generate
|
193
|
-
like that:
|
194
|
-
|
195
|
-
json = JSON.generate [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10]
|
196
|
-
# => "[1,2,{\"a\":3.141},false,true,null,\"4..10\"]"
|
197
|
-
|
198
|
-
To create a valid JSON text you have to make sure, that the output is
|
199
|
-
embedded in either a JSON array [] or a JSON object {}. The easiest way to do
|
200
|
-
this, is by putting your values in a Ruby Array or Hash instance.
|
201
|
-
|
202
|
-
To get back a ruby data structure from a JSON text, you have to call
|
203
|
-
JSON.parse on it:
|
204
|
-
|
205
|
-
JSON.parse json
|
206
|
-
# => [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, "4..10"]
|
207
|
-
|
208
|
-
Note, that the range from the original data structure is a simple
|
209
|
-
string now. The reason for this is, that JSON doesn't support ranges
|
210
|
-
or arbitrary classes. In this case the json library falls back to call
|
211
|
-
Object#to_json, which is the same as #to_s.to_json.
|
212
|
-
|
213
|
-
It's possible to add JSON support serialization to arbitrary classes by
|
214
|
-
simply implementing a more specialized version of the #to_json method, that
|
215
|
-
should return a JSON object (a hash converted to JSON with #to_json) like
|
216
|
-
this (don't forget the *a for all the arguments):
|
217
|
-
|
218
|
-
class Range
|
219
|
-
def to_json(*a)
|
220
|
-
{
|
221
|
-
'json_class' => self.class.name, # = 'Range'
|
222
|
-
'data' => [ first, last, exclude_end? ]
|
223
|
-
}.to_json(*a)
|
224
|
-
end
|
225
|
-
end
|
226
|
-
|
227
|
-
The hash key 'json_class' is the class, that will be asked to deserialise the
|
228
|
-
JSON representation later. In this case it's 'Range', but any namespace of
|
229
|
-
the form 'A::B' or '::A::B' will do. All other keys are arbitrary and can be
|
230
|
-
used to store the necessary data to configure the object to be deserialised.
|
231
|
-
|
232
|
-
If a the key 'json_class' is found in a JSON object, the JSON parser checks
|
233
|
-
if the given class responds to the json_create class method. If so, it is
|
234
|
-
called with the JSON object converted to a Ruby hash. So a range can
|
235
|
-
be deserialised by implementing Range.json_create like this:
|
236
|
-
|
237
|
-
class Range
|
238
|
-
def self.json_create(o)
|
239
|
-
new(*o['data'])
|
240
|
-
end
|
241
|
-
end
|
242
|
-
|
243
|
-
Now it possible to serialise/deserialise ranges as well:
|
244
|
-
|
245
|
-
json = JSON.generate [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10]
|
246
|
-
# => "[1,2,{\"a\":3.141},false,true,null,{\"json_class\":\"Range\",\"data\":[4,10,false]}]"
|
247
|
-
JSON.parse json
|
248
|
-
# => [1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10]
|
249
|
-
|
250
|
-
JSON.generate always creates the shortest possible string representation of a
|
251
|
-
ruby data structure in one line. This good for data storage or network
|
252
|
-
protocols, but not so good for humans to read. Fortunately there's also
|
253
|
-
JSON.pretty_generate (or JSON.pretty_generate) that creates a more
|
254
|
-
readable output:
|
255
|
-
|
256
|
-
puts JSON.pretty_generate([1, 2, {"a"=>3.141}, false, true, nil, 4..10])
|
257
|
-
[
|
258
|
-
1,
|
259
|
-
2,
|
260
|
-
{
|
261
|
-
"a": 3.141
|
262
|
-
},
|
263
|
-
false,
|
264
|
-
true,
|
265
|
-
null,
|
266
|
-
{
|
267
|
-
"json_class": "Range",
|
268
|
-
"data": [
|
269
|
-
4,
|
270
|
-
10,
|
271
|
-
false
|
272
|
-
]
|
273
|
-
}
|
274
|
-
]
|
275
|
-
|
276
|
-
There are also the methods Kernel#j for generate, and Kernel#jj for
|
277
|
-
pretty_generate output to the console, that work analogous to Core Ruby's p
|
278
|
-
and the pp library's pp methods.
|

|
280

-
The script tools/server.rb contains a small example if you want to test, how
|
281
|
-
receiving a JSON object from a webrick server in your browser with the
|
282
|
-
javasript prototype library (http://www.prototypejs.org) works.
