json

json provides JSON encoding and decoding for the most common Jaya data shapes.

json.encode(value, casing = nil)​

Encodes a Jaya value as JSON text.

Arrays, hashes, strings, numbers, booleans, and nil are supported. If casing is provided, object keys are transformed recursively during encoding.

json = require('json')
json.encode({first_name = 'Ada'}, casing=json.camelCase)

json.decode(text)​

Decodes JSON text into Jaya values.

Objects become hashes, arrays become arrays, and null becomes nil.

Requiring json also adds:

  • object.toJson()
  • SomeClass.fromJson(value)

Those helpers are loaded with the module rather than being present in the prelude by default.

json.camelCase​

json.pascalCase​
