Class JsonParser

java.lang.Object

de.undercouch.actson.JsonParser

public class JsonParser
extends java.lang.Object

A non-blocking, event-based JSON parser.

The parser gets input data from a feeder that can be accessed through getFeeder(). See JsonFeeder for more details.

Since:

1.0.0

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
double	getCurrentDouble() If the event returned by nextEvent() was JsonEvent.VALUE_DOUBLE this method will return the parsed double

int	getMaxDepth()
int	getParsedCharacterCount() Get the number of characters processed by the JSON parser so far.
int	nextEvent() Call this method to proceed parsing the JSON text and to get the next event.
void	setMaxDepth(int depth) Set the maximum number of modes on the stack (basically the maximum number of nested objects/arrays in the JSON text to parse)

Constructor Detail

JsonParser

public JsonParser()

Constructs a JSON parser that uses the UTF-8 charset to decode input data

JsonParser

public JsonParser(java.nio.charset.Charset charset)

Constructs a JSON parser

Parameters:

charset - the charset that should be used to decode the parser's input data

JsonParser

public JsonParser(JsonFeeder feeder)

Constructs the JSON parser

Parameters:

feeder - the feeder that will provide the parser with input data

Method Detail

setMaxDepth

public void setMaxDepth(int depth)

Set the maximum number of modes on the stack (basically the maximum number of nested objects/arrays in the JSON text to parse)

Parameters:

depth - the maximum number of modes

getMaxDepth

public int getMaxDepth()

Returns:

the maximum number of modes on the stack (basically the maximum number of nested objects/arrays in the JSON text to parse)

nextEvent

public int nextEvent()

Call this method to proceed parsing the JSON text and to get the next event. The method returns JsonEvent.NEED_MORE_INPUT if it needs more input data from the parser's feeder.

Returns:

the next JSON event or JsonEvent.NEED_MORE_INPUT if more input is needed

getFeeder

public JsonFeeder getFeeder()

Get the feeder that can be used to provide more input to the parser

Returns:

the parser's feeder

getCurrentString

public java.lang.String getCurrentString()

If the event returned by nextEvent() was JsonEvent.VALUE_STRING this method will return the parsed string

Returns:

the parsed string

getCurrentInt

public int getCurrentInt()

If the event returned by nextEvent() was JsonEvent.VALUE_INT this method will return the parsed integer

Returns:

the parsed integer

getCurrentDouble

public double getCurrentDouble()

If the event returned by nextEvent() was JsonEvent.VALUE_DOUBLE this method will return the parsed double

Returns:

the parsed double

getParsedCharacterCount

public int getParsedCharacterCount()

Get the number of characters processed by the JSON parser so far.

Use this method to get the location of an event returned by nextEvent(). Note that the character count is always greater than the actual position of the event in the parsed JSON text. For example, if nextEvent() returns JsonEvent.START_OBJECT and the character count is n, the location of the { character is n-1. If nextEvent() returns JsonEvent.FIELD_NAME and the parsed field name is "id", the location is n-4 because the field name is 4 characters long (including the quotes) and the parser has already processed all characters of it.

Returns:

the character offset
