class JSON::Pure::Generator::State

This class is used to create State instances, that are use to hold data while generating a JSON text from a Ruby data structure.

Attributes

array_nl[RW]

This string is put at the end of a line that holds a JSON array.

depth[RW]

This integer returns the current depth data structure nesting in the generated JSON.

escape_slash[RW]

If this attribute is set to true, forward slashes will be escaped in all json strings.

indent[RW]

This string is used to indent levels in the JSON text.

max_nesting[RW]

This integer returns the maximum level of data structure nesting in the generated JSON, max_nesting = 0 if no maximum is checked.

object_nl[RW]

This string is put at the end of a line that holds a JSON object (or Hash).

space[RW]

This string is used to insert a space between the tokens in a JSON string.

space_before[RW]

This string is used to insert a space before the ':' in JSON objects.

Public Class Methods

from_state(opts) click to toggle source

Creates a State object from opts, which ought to be Hash to create a new State instance configured by opts, something else to create an unconfigured instance. If opts is a State object, it is just returned.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 96
def self.from_state(opts)
  case
  when self === opts
    opts
  when opts.respond_to?(:to_hash)
    new(opts.to_hash)
  when opts.respond_to?(:to_h)
    new(opts.to_h)
  else
    SAFE_STATE_PROTOTYPE.dup
  end
end
new(opts = {}) click to toggle source

Instantiates a new State object, configured by opts.

opts can have the following keys:

  • indent: a string used to indent levels (default: ''),

  • space: a string that is put after, a : or , delimiter (default: ''),

  • space_before: a string that is put before a : pair delimiter (default: ''),

  • object_nl: a string that is put at the end of a JSON object (default: ''),

  • array_nl: a string that is put at the end of a JSON array (default: ''),

  • escape_slash: true if forward slash (/) should be escaped (default: false)

  • check_circular: is deprecated now, use the :max_nesting option instead,

  • max_nesting: sets the maximum level of data structure nesting in the generated JSON, max_nesting = 0 if no maximum should be checked.

  • allow_nan: true if NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity should be generated, otherwise an exception is thrown, if these values are encountered. This options defaults to false.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 125
def initialize(opts = {})
  @indent                = ''
  @space                 = ''
  @space_before          = ''
  @object_nl             = ''
  @array_nl              = ''
  @allow_nan             = false
  @ascii_only            = false
  @escape_slash          = false
  @buffer_initial_length = 1024
  configure opts
end

Public Instance Methods

[](name) click to toggle source

Return the value returned by method name.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 267
def [](name)
  if respond_to?(name)
    __send__(name)
  else
    instance_variable_get("@#{name}") if
      instance_variables.include?("@#{name}".to_sym) # avoid warning
  end
end
[]=(name, value) click to toggle source
# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 276
def []=(name, value)
  if respond_to?(name_writer = "#{name}=")
    __send__ name_writer, value
  else
    instance_variable_set "@#{name}", value
  end
end
allow_nan?() click to toggle source

Returns true if NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity should be considered as valid JSON and output.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 192
def allow_nan?
  @allow_nan
end
ascii_only?() click to toggle source

Returns true, if only ASCII characters should be generated. Otherwise returns false.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 198
def ascii_only?
  @ascii_only
end
check_circular?() click to toggle source

Returns true, if circular data structures are checked, otherwise returns false.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 186
def check_circular?
  !@max_nesting.zero?
end
configure(opts) click to toggle source

Configure this State instance with the Hash opts, and return itself.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 209
def configure(opts)
  if opts.respond_to?(:to_hash)
    opts = opts.to_hash
  elsif opts.respond_to?(:to_h)
    opts = opts.to_h
  else
    raise TypeError, "can't convert #{opts.class} into Hash"
  end
  for key, value in opts
    instance_variable_set "@#{key}", value
  end
  @indent                = opts[:indent] if opts.key?(:indent)
  @space                 = opts[:space] if opts.key?(:space)
  @space_before          = opts[:space_before] if opts.key?(:space_before)
  @object_nl             = opts[:object_nl] if opts.key?(:object_nl)
  @array_nl              = opts[:array_nl] if opts.key?(:array_nl)
  @allow_nan             = !!opts[:allow_nan] if opts.key?(:allow_nan)
  @ascii_only            = opts[:ascii_only] if opts.key?(:ascii_only)
  @depth                 = opts[:depth] || 0
  @buffer_initial_length ||= opts[:buffer_initial_length]
  @escape_slash          = !!opts[:escape_slash] if opts.key?(:escape_slash)

  if !opts.key?(:max_nesting) # defaults to 100
    @max_nesting = 100
  elsif opts[:max_nesting]
    @max_nesting = opts[:max_nesting]
  else
    @max_nesting = 0
  end
  self

Also aliased as: merge
escape_slash?() click to toggle source

Returns true, if forward slashes are escaped. Otherwise returns false.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 203
def escape_slash?
  @escape_slash
end
generate(obj) click to toggle source

Generates a valid JSON document from object obj and returns the result. If no valid JSON document can be created this method raises a GeneratorError exception.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 259
def generate(obj)
  result = obj.to_json(self)
  JSON.valid_utf8?(result) or raise GeneratorError,
    "source sequence #{result.inspect} is illegal/malformed utf-8"
  result
end
merge(opts)
Alias for: configure
to_h() click to toggle source

Returns the configuration instance variables as a hash, that can be passed to the configure method.

# File lib/json/pure/generator.rb, line 244
def to_h
  result = {}
  for iv in instance_variables
    iv = iv.to_s[1..-1]
    result[iv.to_sym] = self[iv]
  end
  result
