class Oj::StringWriter

Supports building a JSON document one element at a time. Build the document by pushing values into the document. Pushing an array or an object will create that element in the JSON document and subsequent pushes will add the elements to that array or object until a pop() is called. When complete calling to_s() will return the JSON document. Note that calling to_s() before construction is complete will return the document in it’s current state.

Public Class Methods

new(io, options) click to toggle source

Creates a new StringWriter. Options are supported according the the specified mode or the mode in the default options. Note that if mimic_JSON or Oj.optimize_rails has not been called then the behavior of the modes may not be the same as if they were.

In addition to the regular dump options for the various modes a :buffer_size option is available. It should be set to a positive integer. It is considered a hint of how large the initial internal buffer should be.

  • io [IO] stream to write to

  • options [Hash] formatting options

static VALUE str_writer_new(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) {
    StrWriter sw = OJ_R_ALLOC(struct _strWriter);

    oj_str_writer_init(sw, 0);
    if (1 == argc) {
        oj_parse_options(argv[0], &sw->opts);
    }
    sw->out.argc   = argc - 1;
    sw->out.argv   = argv + 1;
    sw->out.indent = sw->opts.indent;

    return Data_Wrap_Struct(oj_string_writer_class, 0, str_writer_free, sw);
}

Public Instance Methods

as_json() click to toggle source

Returns the contents of the writer as a JSON element. If called from inside an array or hash by Oj the raw buffer will be used othersize a more inefficient parse of the contents and a return of the result is completed. The parse uses the strict mode.

return [Hash|Array|String|Integer|Float|True|False|_nil|)

static VALUE str_writer_as_json(VALUE self) {
    if (string_writer_optimized) {
        return self;
    }

}
pop() click to toggle source

Pops up a level in the JSON document closing the array or object that is currently open.

static VALUE str_writer_pop(VALUE self) {
    oj_str_writer_pop((StrWriter)DATA_PTR(self));
    return Qnil;
}
pop_all() click to toggle source

Pops all level in the JSON document closing all the array or object that is currently open.

static VALUE str_writer_pop_all(VALUE self) {
    oj_str_writer_pop_all((StrWriter)DATA_PTR(self));

    return Qnil;
}
push_array(key=nil) click to toggle source

Pushes an array onto the JSON document. Future pushes will be to this object until a pop() is called.

  • key [String] the key if adding to an object in the JSON document

static VALUE str_writer_push_array(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) {
    StrWriter sw = (StrWriter)DATA_PTR(self);

    }
    return Qnil;
}
push_json(value, key=nil) click to toggle source

Pushes a string onto the JSON document. The String must be a valid JSON encoded string. No additional checking is done to verify the validity of the string.

  • value [Object] value to add to the JSON document

  • key [String] the key if adding to an object in the JSON document

}
push_key(key) click to toggle source
