Gabs is a small utility for dealing with dynamic or unknown JSON structures in golang. It's pretty much just a helpful wrapper around the golang json.Marshal/json.Unmarshal behaviour and map[string]interface{} objects. It does nothing spectacular except for being fabulous.

## How to use
|
|
|
|
### Parsing and searching JSON
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
import "github.com/Jeffail/gabs"
|
|
|
|
jsonParsed, err := gabs.ParseJSON([]byte(`{
|
|
"outter":{
|
|
"inner":{
|
|
"value1":10,
|
|
"value2":22
|
|
},
|
|
"alsoInner":{
|
|
"value1":20
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}`))
|
|
|
|
var value float64
|
|
var ok bool
|
|
|
|
value, ok = jsonParsed.Path("outter.inner.value1").Data().(float64)
|
|
// value == 10.0, ok == true
|
|
|
|
value, ok = jsonParsed.Search("outter", "inner", "value1").Data().(float64)
|
|
// value == 10.0, ok == true
|
|
|
|
value, ok = jsonParsed.Path("does.not.exist").Data().(float64)
|
|
// value == 0.0, ok == false
|
|
|
|
exists := jsonParsed.Exists("outter", "inner", "value1")
|
|
// exists == true
|
|
|
|
exists := jsonParsed.Exists("does", "not", "exist")
|
|
// exists == false
|
|
|
|
exists := jsonParsed.ExistsP("does.not.exist")
|
|
// exists == false
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Iterating objects
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
jsonParsed, _ := gabs.ParseJSON([]byte(`{"object":{ "first": 1, "second": 2, "third": 3 }}`))
|
|
|
|
// S is shorthand for Search
|
|
children, _ := jsonParsed.S("object").ChildrenMap()
|
|
for key, child := range children {
|
|
fmt.Printf("key: %v, value: %v\n", key, child.Data().(string))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Iterating arrays
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
jsonParsed, _ := gabs.ParseJSON([]byte(`{"array":[ "first", "second", "third" ]}`))
|
|
|
|
// S is shorthand for Search
|
|
children, _ := jsonParsed.S("array").Children()
|
|
for _, child := range children {
|
|
fmt.Println(child.Data().(string))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will print:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
first
|
|
second
|
|
third
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Children() will return all children of an array in order. This also works on objects, however, the children will be returned in a random order.
|
|
|
|
### Searching through arrays
|
|
|
|
If your JSON structure contains arrays you can still search the fields of the objects within the array, this returns a JSON array containing the results for each element.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
jsonParsed, _ := gabs.ParseJSON([]byte(`{"array":[ {"value":1}, {"value":2}, {"value":3} ]}`))
|
|
fmt.Println(jsonParsed.Path("array.value").String())
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will print:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[1,2,3]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generating JSON
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
jsonObj := gabs.New()
|
|
// or gabs.Consume(jsonObject) to work on an existing map[string]interface{}
|
|
|
|
jsonObj.Set(10, "outter", "inner", "value")
|
|
jsonObj.SetP(20, "outter.inner.value2")
|
|
jsonObj.Set(30, "outter", "inner2", "value3")
|
|
|
|
fmt.Println(jsonObj.String())
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will print:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{"outter":{"inner":{"value":10,"value2":20},"inner2":{"value3":30}}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To pretty-print:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
fmt.Println(jsonObj.StringIndent("", " "))
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will print:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"outter": {
|
|
"inner": {
|
|
"value": 10,
|
|
"value2": 20
|
|
},
|
|
"inner2": {
|
|
"value3": 30
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Generating Arrays
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
jsonObj := gabs.New()
|
|
|
|
jsonObj.Array("foo", "array")
|
|
// Or .ArrayP("foo.array")
|
|
|
|
jsonObj.ArrayAppend(10, "foo", "array")
|
|
jsonObj.ArrayAppend(20, "foo", "array")
|
|
jsonObj.ArrayAppend(30, "foo", "array")
|
|
|
|
fmt.Println(jsonObj.String())
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will print:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{"foo":{"array":[10,20,30]}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Working with arrays by index:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
jsonObj := gabs.New()
|
|
|
|
// Create an array with the length of 3
|
|
jsonObj.ArrayOfSize(3, "foo")
|
|
|
|
jsonObj.S("foo").SetIndex("test1", 0)
|
|
jsonObj.S("foo").SetIndex("test2", 1)
|
|
|
|
// Create an embedded array with the length of 3
|
|
jsonObj.S("foo").ArrayOfSizeI(3, 2)
|
|
|
|
jsonObj.S("foo").Index(2).SetIndex(1, 0)
|
|
jsonObj.S("foo").Index(2).SetIndex(2, 1)
|
|
jsonObj.S("foo").Index(2).SetIndex(3, 2)
|
|
|
|
fmt.Println(jsonObj.String())
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will print:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{"foo":["test1","test2",[1,2,3]]}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Converting back to JSON
|
|
|
|
This is the easiest part:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
jsonParsedObj, _ := gabs.ParseJSON([]byte(`{
|
|
"outter":{
|
|
"values":{
|
|
"first":10,
|
|
"second":11
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"outter2":"hello world"
|
|
}`))
|
|
|
|
jsonOutput := jsonParsedObj.String()
|
|
// Becomes `{"outter":{"values":{"first":10,"second":11}},"outter2":"hello world"}`
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And to serialize a specific segment is as simple as:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
jsonParsedObj := gabs.ParseJSON([]byte(`{
|
|
"outter":{
|
|
"values":{
|
|
"first":10,
|
|
"second":11
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"outter2":"hello world"
|
|
}`))
|
|
|
|
jsonOutput := jsonParsedObj.Search("outter").String()
|
|
// Becomes `{"values":{"first":10,"second":11}}`
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parsing Numbers
|
|
|
|
Gabs uses the `json` package under the bonnet, which by default will parse all number values into `float64`. If you need to parse `Int` values then you should use a `json.Decoder` (https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/#Decoder):
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
sample := []byte(`{"test":{"int":10, "float":6.66}}`)
|
|
dec := json.NewDecoder(bytes.NewReader(sample))
|
|
dec.UseNumber()
|
|
|
|
val, err := gabs.ParseJSONDecoder(dec)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
t.Errorf("Failed to parse: %v", err)
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
intValue, err := val.Path("test.int").Data().(json.Number).Int64()
|
|
```
