Define a JSON string
jstring <- jsonString$new("
{
\"foo\": \"hello\",
\"bar\": {\"x\": 1, \"y\": 2},
\"baz\": [9, 99, null],
\"qux\": [null, [0, 1], {\"a\": 1000}]
}
")
Extract a JSON value
jstring$at("foo")
## "hello"
jstring$at("bar", "y")
## 2
jstring$at("baz", 2)
## null
Erase a JSON value
jstring$erase("baz")
jstring
## {
## "bar": {
## "x": 1,
## "y": 2
## },
## "foo": "hello",
## "qux": [
## null,
## [
## 0,
## 1
## ],
## {
## "a": 1000
## }
## ]
## }
Check existence of a property
jstring$hasKey("bar")
## [1] TRUE
Check a type
jstring$is("object")
## [1] TRUE
Add a property
jstring$addProperty("new", "[4,5]")
jstring
## {
## "bar": {
## "x": 1,
## "y": 2
## },
## "foo": "hello",
## "new": [
## 4,
## 5
## ],
## "qux": [
## null,
## [
## 0,
## 1
## ],
## {
## "a": 1000
## }
## ]
## }
Update a JSON string
jstring$update(
"{
\"foo\": \"goodbye\",
\"quux\": 10000
}"
)
jstring
## {
## "bar": {
## "x": 1,
## "y": 2
## },
## "foo": "goodbye",
## "new": [
## 4,
## 5
## ],
## "quux": 10000,
## "qux": [
## null,
## [
## 0,
## 1
## ],
## {
## "a": 1000
## }
## ]
## }
Patch a JSON string
jspatch <- "[
{\"op\": \"remove\", \"path\": \"/foo\"},
{\"op\": \"replace\", \"path\": \"/qux/2\", \"value\": 9999}
]"
jstring$patch(jspatch)
## {
## "bar": {
## "x": 1,
## "y": 2
## },
## "new": [
## 4,
## 5
## ],
## "quux": 10000,
## "qux": [
## null,
## [
## 0,
## 1
## ],
## 9999
## ]
## }
Chaining
jstring <- jsonString$new("
{
\"foo\": \"hello\",
\"bar\": {\"x\": 1, \"y\": 2},
\"baz\": [9, 99, null],
\"qux\": [null, [0, 1], {\"a\": 1000}]
}
")
jstring$erase("baz")$addProperty("new", "[4,5]")$update(
"{
\"foo\": \"goodbye\",
\"quux\": 10000
}"
)
jstring
## {
## "bar": {
## "x": 1,
## "y": 2
## },
## "foo": "goodbye",
## "new": [
## 4,
## 5
## ],
## "quux": 10000,
## "qux": [
## null,
## [
## 0,
