YAJL binding for D

yajl-d is a YAJL binding for D.

yajl-d is based on YAJL2 and tested with YAJL 2.0.5.

Install

Run make for generating libyajld.a

make

run example

Need to link yajl library

dmd -Isrc libyajl-d.a -L-L/path/to/libdir -L-lyajl -run example/encode_bench.d

Usage

Encode

  • yajl.encode(value) / yajl.encode(value, opt)
import yajl;

struct Hoge
{ 
    ulong id;
    string word;
    bool yes; 
}

// {"id":100,"word":"hey!","yes":true}
string json = encode(Hoge(100, "hey!", true));

Decode

  • yajl.decode(value) / yajl.decode(value, opt)
import yajl;

Hoge hoge = decode!Hoge(`{"id":100,"word":"hey!","yes":true}`);
  • yajl.decoder.Decoder

Use decode and decodedValue methods.

import yajl.decoder;

Decoder decoder;
if (decoder.decode(`{"id":100,"word":"hey!","yes":true}`) {
    Hoge hoge = decoder.decodedValue!Hoge;
    // ...
}

Decoder#decode is a straming decoder, so you can pass the insufficient json to this method. If Decoder#decode can't parse completely, Decoder#decode returns false.

Encoder.Option and Decoder.Option

encode and decode can take each Option argument. If you want to know more details, see unittest of yajl.encoder / yajl.decoder.

Using a D keyword in JSON field names

Since a field name cannot be a D keyword, for example body or out, the variable and JSON field must have separate names. For this, use the @JSONName("name") attribute:

import yajl;

struct Hoge
{ 
    ulong id;
    @JSONName("body") string _body;
    bool yes; 
}

// {"id":100,"body":"hey!","yes":true}
string json = encode(Hoge(100, "hey!", true));
