Macro Definition Documentation

+ + + + + + + + +
#define JSON_C_CONST_FUNCTION( func)   func
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_CONSTANT_KEY   (1 << 2)
+
+

A flag for the json_object_object_add_ex function which flags the key as being constant memory. This means that the key will NOT be copied via strdup(), resulting in a potentially huge performance win (malloc, strdup and free are usually performance hogs). It is acceptable to use this flag for keys in non-constant memory blocks if the caller ensure that the memory holding the key lives longer than the corresponding json object. However, this is somewhat dangerous and should only be done if really justified. The general use-case for this flag is cases where the key is given as a real constant value in the function call, e.g. as in json_object_object_add_ex(obj, "ip", json, JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_CONSTANT_KEY);

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_KEY_IS_NEW   (1 << 1)
+
+

A flag for the json_object_object_add_ex function which causes the value to be added without a check if it already exists. Note: it is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that no key is added multiple times. If this is done, results are unpredictable. While this option is somewhat dangerous, it permits potentially large performance savings in code that knows for sure the key values are unique (e.g. because the code adds a well-known set of constant key values).

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_OBJECT_KEY_IS_CONSTANT   JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_CONSTANT_KEY
+
+

This flag is an alias to JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_CONSTANT_KEY. Historically, this flag was used first and the new name JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_CONSTANT_KEY was introduced for version 0.16.00 in order to have regular naming. Use of this flag is now legacy.

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_OPTION_GLOBAL   (0)
+
+

Set the global value of an option, which will apply to all current and future threads that have not set a thread-local value.

+
See Also
json_c_set_serialization_double_format
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_OPTION_THREAD   (1)
+
+

Set a thread-local value of an option, overriding the global value. This will fail if json-c is not compiled with threading enabled, and with the __thread specifier (or equivalent) available.

+
See Also
json_c_set_serialization_double_format
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_TO_STRING_NOSLASHESCAPE   (1 << 4)
+
+

Don't escape forward slashes.

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_TO_STRING_NOZERO   (1 << 2)
+
+

A flag to drop trailing zero for float values

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_TO_STRING_PLAIN   0
+
+

A flag for the json_object_to_json_string_ext() and json_object_to_file_ext() functions which causes the output to have no extra whitespace or formatting applied.

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_TO_STRING_PRETTY   (1 << 1)
+
+

A flag for the json_object_to_json_string_ext() and json_object_to_file_ext() functions which causes the output to be formatted.

+

See the "Two Space Tab" option at https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ for an example of the format.

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_TO_STRING_PRETTY_TAB   (1 << 3)
+
+

A flag for the json_object_to_json_string_ext() and json_object_to_file_ext() functions which causes the output to be formatted.

+

Instead of a "Two Space Tab" this gives a single tab character.

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
#define JSON_C_TO_STRING_SPACED   (1 << 0)
+
+

A flag for the json_object_to_json_string_ext() and json_object_to_file_ext() functions which causes the output to have minimal whitespace inserted to make things slightly more readable.

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +

Typedef Documentation

+ +
+
+ + + + +
typedef int( json_c_shallow_copy_fn)(json_object *src, json_object *parent, const char *key, size_t index, json_object **dst)
+
+

Perform a shallow copy of src into *dst as part of an overall json_object_deep_copy().

+

If src is part of a containing object or array, parent will be non-NULL, and key or index will be provided. When shallow_copy is called *dst will be NULL, and must be non-NULL when it returns. src will never be NULL.

+

If shallow_copy sets the serializer on an object, return 2 to indicate to json_object_deep_copy that it should not attempt to use the standard userdata copy function.

+
Returns
On success 1 or 2, -1 on errors
+ +
+
+

Function Documentation

+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + +
size_t json_c_object_sizeof (void )
+
+

Get the sizeof (struct json_object).

+
Returns
a size_t with the sizeof (struct json_object)
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_c_set_serialization_double_format (const char * double_format,
int global_or_thread 
)
+
+

Set a global or thread-local json-c option, depending on whether JSON_C_OPTION_GLOBAL or JSON_C_OPTION_THREAD is passed. Thread-local options default to undefined, and inherit from the global value, even if the global value is changed after the thread is created. Attempting to set thread-local options when threading is not compiled in will result in an error. Be sure to check the return value.

+

double_format is a "%g" printf format, such as "%.20g"

+
Returns
-1 on errors, 0 on success.
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_array_add (struct json_object * obj,
struct json_object * val 
)
+
+

Add an element to the end of a json_object of type json_type_array

+

The reference count will not be incremented. This is to make adding fields to objects in code more compact. If you want to retain a reference to an added object you must wrap the passed object with json_object_get

+
Parameters
+ + + +
objthe json_object instance
valthe json_object to be added
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_array_bsearch (const struct json_object * key,
const struct json_object * jso,
int(*)(const void *, const void *) sort_fn 
)
+ 		+read
+
+

Binary search a sorted array for a specified key object.

+

It depends on your compare function what's sufficient as a key. Usually you create some dummy object with the parameter compared in it, to identify the right item you're actually looking for.

+
See Also
json_object_array_sort() for hints on the compare function.
+
Parameters
+ + + + +
keya dummy json_object with the right key
jsothe array object we're searching
sort_fnthe sort/compare function
+
+
+
Returns
the wanted json_object instance
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_array_del_idx (struct json_object * obj,
size_t idx,
size_t count 
)
+
+

Delete an elements from a specified index in an array (a json_object of type json_type_array)

+

The reference count will be decremented for each of the deleted objects. If there are no more owners of an element that is being deleted, then the value is freed. Otherwise, the reference to the value will remain in memory.

+
Parameters
+ + + + +
objthe json_object instance
idxthe index to start deleting elements at
countthe number of elements to delete
+
+
+
Returns
0 if the elements were successfully deleted
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_array_get_idx (const struct json_object * obj,
size_t idx 
)
+ 		+read
+
+

Get the element at specified index of array obj (which must be a json_object of type json_type_array)

+

No reference counts will be changed, and ownership of the returned object remains with obj. See json_object_object_get() for additional implications of this behavior.

+

Calling this with anything other than a json_type_array will trigger an assert.

+
Parameters
+ + + +
objthe json_object instance
idxthe index to get the element at
+
+
+
Returns
the json_object at the specified index (or NULL)
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT size_t json_object_array_length (const struct json_object * obj)
+
+

Get the length of a json_object of type json_type_array

+
Parameters
+ + +
objthe json_object instance
+
+
+
Returns
an int
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_array_put_idx (struct json_object * obj,
size_t idx,
struct json_object * val 
)
+
+

Insert or replace an element at a specified index in an array (a json_object of type json_type_array)

+

The reference count will not be incremented. This is to make adding fields to objects in code more compact. If you want to retain a reference to an added object you must wrap the passed object with json_object_get

+

The reference count of a replaced object will be decremented.

+

The array size will be automatically be expanded to the size of the index if the index is larger than the current size.

+
Parameters
+ + + + +
objthe json_object instance
idxthe index to insert the element at
valthe json_object to be added
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_array_shrink (struct json_object * jso,
int empty_slots 
)
+
+

Shrink the internal memory allocation of the array to just enough to fit the number of elements in it, plus empty_slots.

+
Parameters
+ + + +
jsothe json_object instance, must be json_type_array
empty_slotsthe number of empty slots to leave allocated
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT void json_object_array_sort (struct json_object * jso,
int(*)(const void *, const void *) sort_fn 
)
+
+

Sorts the elements of jso of type json_type_array

+

Pointers to the json_object pointers will be passed as the two arguments to sort_fn

+
Parameters
+ + + +
jsothe json_object instance
sort_fna sorting function
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_deep_copy (struct json_object * src,
struct json_object ** dst,
json_c_shallow_copy_fn * shallow_copy 
)
+
+

Copy the contents of the JSON object. The destination object must be initialized to NULL, to make sure this function won't overwrite an existing JSON object.

+

This does roughly the same thing as json_tokener_parse(json_object_get_string(src)).

+
Parameters
+ + + + +
srcsource JSON object whose contents will be copied
dstpointer to the destination object where the contents of src; make sure this pointer is initialized to NULL
shallow_copyan optional function to copy individual objects, needed when custom serializers are in use. See also json_object set_serializer.
+
+
+
Returns
0 if the copy went well, -1 if an error occurred during copy or if the destination pointer is non-NULL
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_double_to_json_string (struct json_object * jso,
struct printbuf * pb,
int level,
int flags 
)
+
+

Serialize a json_object of type json_type_double to a string.

+

This function isn't meant to be called directly. Instead, you can set a custom format string for the serialization of this double using the following call (where "%.17g" actually is the default):

+
jso = json_object_new_double(d);
+
json_object_set_serializer(jso, json_object_double_to_json_string,
+
"%.17g", NULL);
+
See Also
printf(3) man page for format strings
+
Parameters
+ + + + + +
jsoThe json_type_double object that is serialized.
pbThe destination buffer.
levelIgnored.
flagsIgnored.
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_equal (struct json_object * obj1,
struct json_object * obj2 
)
+
+

Check if two json_object's are equal

+

If the passed objects are equal 1 will be returned. Equality is defined as follows:

+
    +
  • json_objects of different types are never equal
    • +
  • json_objects of the same primitive type are equal if the c-representation of their value is equal
    • +
  • json-arrays are considered equal if all values at the same indices are equal (same order)
    • +
  • Complex json_objects are considered equal if all contained objects referenced by their key are equal, regardless their order.
    • +
+
Parameters
+ + + +
obj1the first json_object instance
obj2the second json_object instance
+
+
+
Returns
whether both objects are equal or not
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_get (struct json_object * obj)

JSON_EXPORT json_bool json_object_get_boolean (const struct json_object * obj)
+
+

Get the json_bool value of a json_object

+

The type is coerced to a json_bool if the passed object is not a json_bool. integer and double objects will return 0 if there value is zero or 1 otherwise. If the passed object is a string it will return 1 if it has a non zero length. If any other object type is passed 0 will be returned, even non-empty json_type_array and json_type_object objects.

+
Parameters
+ + +
objthe json_object instance
+
+
+
Returns
a json_bool
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT double json_object_get_double (const struct json_object * obj)
+
+

Get the double floating point value of a json_object

+

The type is coerced to a double if the passed object is not a double. integer objects will return their double conversion. Strings will be parsed as a double. If no conversion exists then 0.0 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL. null is equivalent to 0 (no error values set)

+

If the value is too big to fit in a double, then the value is set to the closest infinity with errno set to ERANGE. If strings cannot be converted to their double value, then EINVAL is set & NaN is returned.

+

Arrays of length 0 are interpreted as 0 (with no error flags set). Arrays of length 1 are effectively cast to the equivalent object and converted using the above rules. All other arrays set the error to EINVAL & return NaN.

+

NOTE: Set errno to 0 directly before a call to this function to determine whether or not conversion was successful (it does not clear the value for you).

+
Parameters
+ + +
objthe json_object instance
+
+
+
Returns
a double floating point number
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int32_t json_object_get_int (const struct json_object * obj)
+
+

Get the int value of a json_object

+

The type is coerced to a int if the passed object is not a int. double objects will return their integer conversion. Strings will be parsed as an integer. If no conversion exists then 0 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL. null is equivalent to 0 (no error values set)

+

Note that integers are stored internally as 64-bit values. If the value of too big or too small to fit into 32-bit, INT32_MAX or INT32_MIN are returned, respectively.

+
Parameters
+ + +
objthe json_object instance
+
+
+
Returns
an int
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int64_t json_object_get_int64 (const struct json_object * obj)
+
+

Get the int value of a json_object

+

The type is coerced to a int64 if the passed object is not a int64. double objects will return their int64 conversion. Strings will be parsed as an int64. If no conversion exists then 0 is returned.

+

NOTE: Set errno to 0 directly before a call to this function to determine whether or not conversion was successful (it does not clear the value for you).

+
Parameters

+
+
Returns
an int64

+

If the passed object of type json_type_string, the string contents are returned.

+

Otherwise the JSON representation of the object is returned.

+

The returned string memory is managed by the json_object and will be freed when the reference count of the json_object drops to zero.

+
+

Get the uint value of a json_object

+

The type is coerced to a uint64 if the passed object is not a uint64. double objects will return their uint64 conversion. Strings will be parsed as an uint64. If no conversion exists then 0 is returned.

+

NOTE: Set errno to 0 directly before a call to this function to determine whether or not conversion was successful (it does not clear the value for you).

+
Parameters
+ + +
ba json_bool 1 or 0
+
+

JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_new_double (double d)
+ 		+read
+
+

Create a new empty json_object of type json_type_double

+
See Also
json_object_double_to_json_string() for how to set a custom format string.
+
Parameters
+ + +
dthe double
+
+
+
Returns
a json_object of type json_type_double
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_new_double_s (double d,
const char * ds 
)
+ 		+read
+
+

Create a new json_object of type json_type_double, using the exact serialized representation of the value.

+

This allows for numbers that would otherwise get displayed inefficiently (e.g. 12.3 => "12.300000000000001") to be serialized with the more convenient form.

+

Notes:

+

This is used by json_tokener_parse_ex() to allow for an exact re-serialization of a parsed object.

+

The userdata field is used to store the string representation, so it can't be used for other data if this function is used.

+

A roughly equivalent sequence of calls, with the difference being that the serialization function won't be reset by json_object_set_double(), is:

+
jso = json_object_new_double(d);
+
json_object_set_serializer(jso, json_object_userdata_to_json_string,
+
strdup(ds), json_object_free_userdata);
+
Parameters
+ + + +
dthe numeric value of the double.
dsthe string representation of the double. This will be copied.
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_new_int (int32_t i)
+ 		+read
+
+

Create a new empty json_object of type json_type_int Note that values are stored as 64-bit values internally. To ensure the full range is maintained, use json_object_new_int64 instead.

+
Parameters
+ + +
ithe integer
+
+
+
Returns
a json_object of type json_type_int
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_new_int64 (int64_t i)
+ 		+read
+
+

Create a new empty json_object of type json_type_int

+
Parameters
+ + +
ithe integer
+
+
+
Returns

+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_new_null (void )
+ 		+read
+
+

This method exists only to provide a complementary function along the lines of the other json_object_new_* functions. It always returns NULL, and it is entirely acceptable to simply use NULL directly.

+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_new_object (void )
+ 		+read
+
+

Create a new empty object with a reference count of 1. The caller of this object initially has sole ownership. Remember, when using json_object_object_add or json_object_array_put_idx, ownership will transfer to the object/array. Call json_object_get if you want to maintain shared ownership or also add this object as a child of multiple objects or arrays. Any ownerships you acquired but did not transfer must be released through json_object_put.

+
Returns
a json_object of type json_type_object
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_new_string (const char * s)
+ 		+read
+
+

Create a new empty json_object of type json_type_string

+

A copy of the string is made and the memory is managed by the json_object

+
Parameters
+ + +
sthe string

JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_new_string_len (const char * s,
const int len 
)
+ 		+read
+
+

Create a new empty json_object of type json_type_string and allocate len characters for the new string.

+

A copy of the string is made and the memory is managed by the json_object

+
Parameters
+ + + +
sthe string
lenmax length of the new string
+
+

JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_new_uint64 (uint64_t i)
+ 		+read
+
+

Create a new empty json_object of type json_type_uint

+
Parameters
+ + +
ithe integer
+
+
+
Returns
a json_object of type json_type_uint
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_object_add (struct json_object * obj,
const char * key,
struct json_object * val 
)
+
+

Add an object field to a json_object of type json_type_object

+

The reference count of val will not be incremented, in effect transferring ownership that object to obj, and thus val will be freed when obj is. (i.e. through json_object_put(obj))

+

If you want to retain a reference to the added object, independent of the lifetime of obj, you must increment the refcount with json_object_get(val) (and later release it with json_object_put()).

+

Since ownership transfers to obj, you must make sure that you do in fact have ownership over val. For instance, json_object_new_object() will give you ownership until you transfer it, whereas json_object_object_get() does not.

+

Any previous object stored under key in obj will have its refcount decremented, and be freed normally if that drops to zero.

+
Parameters
+ + + + +
objthe json_object instance
keythe object field name (a private copy will be duplicated)
vala json_object or NULL member to associate with the given field
+
+
+
Returns
On success, 0 is returned. On error, a negative value is returned.
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_object_add_ex (struct json_object * obj,
const char *const key,
struct json_object *const val,
const unsigned opts 
)
+
+

Add an object field to a json_object of type json_type_object

+

The semantics are identical to json_object_object_add, except that an additional flag fields gives you more control over some detail aspects of processing. See the description of JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_* flags for more details.

+
Parameters
+ + + + + +
objthe json_object instance
keythe object field name (a private copy will be duplicated)
vala json_object or NULL member to associate with the given field
optsprocess-modifying options. To specify multiple options, use (OPT1|OPT2)
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT void json_object_object_del (struct json_object * obj,
const char * key 
)
+
+

Delete the given json_object field

+

The reference count will be decremented for the deleted object. If there are no more owners of the value represented by this key, then the value is freed. Otherwise, the reference to the value will remain in memory.

+
Parameters
+ + + +
objthe json_object instance
keythe object field name
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT struct json_object* json_object_object_get (const struct json_object * obj,
const char * key 
)
+ 		+read
+
+

Get the json_object associate with a given object field. Deprecated/discouraged: used json_object_object_get_ex instead.

+

This returns NULL if the field is found but its value is null, or if the field is not found, or if obj is not a json_type_object. If you need to distinguish between these cases, use json_object_object_get_ex().

+

No reference counts will be changed. There is no need to manually adjust reference counts through the json_object_put/json_object_get methods unless you need to have the child (value) reference maintain a different lifetime than the owning parent (obj). Ownership of the returned value is retained by obj (do not do json_object_put unless you have done a json_object_get). If you delete the value from obj (json_object_object_del) and wish to access the returned reference afterwards, make sure you have first gotten shared ownership through json_object_get (& don't forget to do a json_object_put or transfer ownership to prevent a memory leak).

+
Parameters
+ + + +
objthe json_object instance
keythe object field name
+
+
+
Returns
the json_object associated with the given field name
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT json_bool json_object_object_get_ex (const struct json_object * obj,
const char * key,
struct json_object ** value 
)
+
+

Get the json_object associated with a given object field.

+

This returns true if the key is found, false in all other cases (including if obj isn't a json_type_object).

+

No reference counts will be changed. There is no need to manually adjust reference counts through the json_object_put/json_object_get methods unless you need to have the child (value) reference maintain a different lifetime than the owning parent (obj). Ownership of value is retained by obj.

+
Parameters
+ + + + +
objthe json_object instance
keythe object field name
valuea pointer where to store a reference to the json_object associated with the given field name.
+
+
+

It is safe to pass a NULL value.

+
Returns
whether or not the key exists
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_object_length (const struct json_object * obj)
+
+

Get the size of an object in terms of the number of fields it has.

+
Parameters
+ + +
objthe json_object whose length to return
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT int json_object_put (struct json_object * obj)
+
+

Decrement the reference count of json_object and free if it reaches zero.

+

You must have ownership of obj prior to doing this or you will cause an imbalance in the reference count, leading to a classic use-after-free bug. In particular, you normally do not need to call json_object_put() on the json_object returned by json_object_object_get() or json_object_array_get_idx().

+

Just like after calling free() on a block of memory, you must not use obj after calling json_object_put() on it or any object that it is a member of (unless you know you've called json_object_get(obj) to explicitly increment the refcount).

+

NULL may be passed, which which case this is a no-op.

+
Parameters
+ + +
objthe json_object instance
+
+
+
Returns
1 if the object was freed.
+

json_bool new_value 
)
+
+

Set the json_bool value of a json_object

+

The type of obj is checked to be a json_type_boolean and 0 is returned if it is not without any further actions. If type of obj is json_type_boolean the object value is changed to new_value

+
Parameters

JSON_EXPORT int json_object_set_double (struct json_object * obj,
double new_value 
)
+
+

Set the double value of a json_object

+

The type of obj is checked to be a json_type_double and 0 is returned if it is not without any further actions. If type of obj is json_type_double the object value is changed to new_value

+

If the object was created with json_object_new_double_s(), the serialization function is reset to the default and the cached serialized value is cleared.

+
Parameters
+ + + +
objthe json_object instance
new_valuethe value to be set
+
+
+
Returns
1 if value is set correctly, 0 otherwise
+ +

int new_value 
)
+
+

+
Parameters
+ + + +
objthe json_object instance
new_valuethe value to be set

JSON_EXPORT void json_object_set_serializer (json_object * jso,
json_object_to_json_string_fn * to_string_func,
void * userdata,
json_object_delete_fn * user_delete 
)
+
+

Set a custom serialization function to be used when this particular object is converted to a string by json_object_to_json_string.

+

If custom userdata is already set on this object, any existing user_delete function is called before the new one is set.

+

If to_string_func is NULL the default behaviour is reset (but the userdata and user_delete fields are still set).

+

The userdata parameter is optional and may be passed as NULL. It can be used to provide additional data for to_string_func to use. This parameter may be NULL even if user_delete is non-NULL.

+

The user_delete parameter is optional and may be passed as NULL, even if the userdata parameter is non-NULL. It will be called just before the json_object is deleted, after it's reference count goes to zero (see json_object_put()). If this is not provided, it is up to the caller to free the userdata at an appropriate time. (i.e. after the json_object is deleted)

+

Note that the userdata is the same as set by json_object_set_userdata(), so care must be taken not to overwrite the value when both a custom serializer and json_object_set_userdata() are used.

+
Parameters
+ + + + + +
jsothe object to customize
to_string_functhe custom serialization function
userdataan optional opaque cookie
user_deletean optional function from freeing userdata
+
+

JSON_EXPORT void json_object_set_userdata (json_object * jso,
void * userdata,
json_object_delete_fn * user_delete 
)
+
+

Set an opaque userdata value for an object

+

The userdata can be retrieved using json_object_get_userdata().

+

If custom userdata is already set on this object, any existing user_delete function is called before the new one is set.

+

The user_delete parameter is optional and may be passed as NULL, even if the userdata parameter is non-NULL. It will be called just before the json_object is deleted, after it's reference count goes to zero (see json_object_put()). If this is not provided, it is up to the caller to free the userdata at an appropriate time. (i.e. after the json_object is deleted)

+

Note: Objects created by parsing strings may have custom serializers set which expect the userdata to contain specific data (due to use of json_object_new_double_s()). In this case, json_object_set_serialiser() with NULL as to_string_func should be used instead to set the userdata and reset the serializer to its default value.

+
Parameters
+ + + + +
jsothe object to set the userdata for
userdataan optional opaque cookie
user_deletean optional function from freeing userdata

JSON_EXPORT const char* json_object_to_json_string (struct json_object * obj)
+
+

Stringify object to json format. Equivalent to json_object_to_json_string_ext(obj, JSON_C_TO_STRING_SPACED) The pointer you get is an internal of your json object. You don't have to free it, later use of json_object_put() should be sufficient. If you can not ensure there's no concurrent access to *obj use strdup().

+
Parameters
+ + +
objthe json_object instance
+
+
+
Returns
a string in JSON format
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
JSON_EXPORT const char* json_object_to_json_string_ext (struct json_object * obj,
int flags 
)
+
+

Stringify object to json format

+
See Also

+
+
+
Returns
a string in JSON format

JSON_EXPORT const char* json_object_to_json_string_length (struct json_object * obj,
int flags,
size_t * length 
)
+
+

Stringify object to json format

+

+
Parameters
+ + + + +

lengtha pointer where, if not NULL, the length (without null) is stored
+
+
+
Returns
a string in JSON format and the length if not NULL

JSON_EXPORT json_c_shallow_copy_fn json_c_shallow_copy_default
+
+

The default shallow copy implementation for use with json_object_deep_copy(). This simply calls the appropriate json_object_new_<type>() function and copies over the serializer function (_to_json_string internal field of the json_object structure) but not any _userdata or _user_delete values.

+

If you're writing a custom shallow_copy function, perhaps because you're using your own custom serializer, you can call this first to create the new object before customizing it with json_object_set_serializer().

+
Returns
1 on success, -1 on errors, but never 2.
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
JSON_EXPORT json_object_delete_fn json_object_free_userdata
+
+

Simply call free on the userdata pointer. Can be used with json_object_set_serializer().

+
Parameters
+ + + +
jsounused
userdatathe pointer that is passed to free().
+
+
+ +
+
+ +
+
+ + + + +
JSON_EXPORT json_object_to_json_string_fn json_object_userdata_to_json_string
+
+

Copy the jso->_userdata string over to pb as-is. Can be used with json_object_set_serializer().

+
Parameters
+ + + + + +
jsoThe object whose _userdata is used.
pbThe destination buffer.
