`x.json2` is an experimental JSON parser written from scratch on V.
## Usage
```v oksyntax
#### encode[T]
```v
import x.json2
import time
struct Person {
mut:
name string
age ?int = 20
birthday time.Time
deathday ?time.Time = none
}
fn main() {
mut person := Person{
name: 'Bob'
birthday: time.now()
}
person_json := json2.encode[Person](person)
// person_json == {"name": "Bob", "age": 20, "birthday": "2022-03-11T13:54:25.000Z"}
}
```
#### decode[T]
```v
import x.json2
import time
struct Person {
mut:
name string
age ?int = 20
birthday time.Time
deathday ?time.Time = none
}
fn main() {
resp := '{"name": "Bob", "age": 20, "birthday": ${time.now()}}'
person := json2.decode[Person](resp)!
/*
struct Person {
mut:
name "Bob"
age 20
birthday "2022-03-11 13:54:25"
}
*/
}
```
decode[T] is smart and can auto-convert the types of struct fields - this means
examples below will have the same result
```v ignore
json2.decode[Person]('{"name": "Bob", "age": 20, "birthday": "2022-03-11T13:54:25.000Z"}')!
json2.decode[Person]('{"name": "Bob", "age": 20, "birthday": "2022-03-11 13:54:25.000"}')!
json2.decode[Person]('{"name": "Bob", "age": "20", "birthday": 1647006865}')!
json2.decode[Person]('{"name": "Bob", "age": "20", "birthday": "1647006865"}}')!
```
#### raw decode
```v
import x.json2
import net.http
fn main() {
// Decoding
resp := http.get('https://example.com')!
resp := http.get('https://reqres.in/api/products/1')!
// raw decode
raw_person := json2.raw_decode(resp.body)!
// This returns an Any type
raw_product := json2.raw_decode(resp.body)!
}
```
#### Casting `Any` type / Navigating
```v
import x.json2
import net.http
// Casting `Any` type / Navigating
person := raw_person.as_map()
name := person['name'].str() // Bob
age := person['age'].int() // 19
pi := person['pi'].f64() // 3.14....
fn main() {
resp := http.get('https://reqres.in/api/products/1')!
// Constructing an `Any` type
raw_product := json2.raw_decode(resp.body)!
product := raw_product.as_map()
data := product['data'] as map[string]json2.Any
id := data['id'].int() // 1
name := data['name'].str() // cerulean
year := data['year'].int() // 2000
}
```
#### Constructing an `Any` type
```v
import x.json2
fn main() {
mut me := map[string]json2.Any{}
me['name'] = 'Bob'
me['age'] = 18

## Using `decode[T]` and `encode[T]`
> Codegen for this feature is still WIP.
> You need to manually define the methods before using the module to structs.
In order to use the `decode[T]` and `encode[T]` function, you need to explicitly define
two methods: `from_json` and `to_json`. `from_json` accepts a `json2.Any` argument
and inside of it you need to map the fields you're going to put into the type.
As for `to_json` method, you just need to map the values into `json2.Any`
and turn it into a string.
```v ignore
struct Person {
mut:
name string
age int = 20
pets []string
}
fn (mut p Person) from_json(f json2.Any) {
obj := f.as_map()
for k, v in obj {
match k {
'name' { p.name = v.str() }
'age' { p.age = v.int() }
'pets' { p.pets = v.arr().map(it.str()) }
else {}
}
}
}
fn (p Person) to_json() string {
mut obj := map[string]json2.Any
obj['name'] = p.name
obj['age'] = p.age
obj['pets'] = p.pets
return obj.str()
}
fn main() {
resp := os.read_file('./person.json')!
person := json2.decode[Person](resp)!
println(person) // Person{name: 'Bob', age: 28, pets: ['Floof']}
person_json := json2.encode[Person](person)
println(person_json) // {"name": "Bob", "age": 28, "pets": ["Floof"]}
}
```
## Using struct tags
`x.json2` can access and use the struct field tags similar to the
`json` module by using the comp-time `$for` for structs.
```v ignore
fn (mut p Person) from_json(f json2.Any) {
mp := an.as_map()
mut js_field_name := ''
$for field in Person.fields {
js_field_name = field.name
for attr in field.attrs {
if attr.starts_with('json:') {
js_field_name = attr.all_after('json:').trim_left(' ')
break
}
}
match field.name {
'name' { p.name = mp[js_field_name].str() }
'age' { u.age = mp[js_field_name].int() }
'pets' { u.pets = mp[js_field_name].arr().map(it.str()) }
else {}
}
}
}
```
### Null Values
`x.json2` has a separate `null` type for differentiating an undefined value and a null value.
To verify that the field you're accessing is a `null`, use `[typ] is json2.Null`.

```
### Custom field names
Aside from using struct tags, you can also just simply cast the base field into a map (`as_map()`)
and access the field you wish to put into the struct/type.
```v ignore
fn (mut p Person) from_json(f json2.Any) {
obj := f.as_map()
p.name = obj['nickname'].str()
}
```
```v oksyntax
import x.json2
fn (p Person) to_json() string {
mut obj := map[string]json2.Any{}
obj['nickname'] = p.name
return obj.str()
}
```
### Undefined Values
Getting undefined values has the same behavior as regular V types.
If you're casting a base field into `map[string]json2.Any` and fetch an undefined entry/value,
it simply returns empty. As for the `[]json2.Any`, it returns an index error.
## Casting a value to an incompatible type
`x.json2` provides methods for turning `Any` types into usable types.
The following list shows the possible outputs when casting a value to an incompatible type.
