Function pointer type to append bytes to a buffer while encoding JSON data.

Parameters

bytes	Contents to write to the output

Function Documentation

json_arr_encode()

int json_arr_encode	(	const struct json_obj_descr *	descr,
		const void *	val,
		json_append_bytes_t	append_bytes,
		void *	data
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Encodes an array using an arbitrary writer function.

Parameters

descr	Pointer to the descriptor array
val	Struct holding the values
append_bytes	Function to append bytes to the output
data	Data pointer to be passed to the append_bytes callback function.

Returns

0 if object has been successfully encoded. A negative value indicates an error.

json_arr_encode_buf()

int json_arr_encode_buf	(	const struct json_obj_descr *	descr,
		const void *	val,
		char *	buffer,
		size_t	buf_size
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Encodes an array in a contiguous memory location.

Parameters

descr	Pointer to the descriptor array
val	Struct holding the values
buffer	Buffer to store the JSON data
buf_size	Size of buffer, in bytes, with space for the terminating NUL character

Returns

0 if object has been successfully encoded. A negative value indicates an error (as defined on errno.h).

json_arr_parse()

int json_arr_parse	(	char *	json,
		size_t	len,
		const struct json_obj_descr *	descr,
		void *	val
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Parses the JSON-encoded array pointed to by json, with size len, according to the descriptor pointed to by descr. Values are stored in a struct pointed to by val. Set up the descriptor like this:

struct s { int32_t foo; char *bar; } struct json_obj_descr descr[] = { JSON_OBJ_DESCR_PRIM(struct s, foo, JSON_TOK_NUMBER), JSON_OBJ_DESCR_PRIM(struct s, bar, JSON_TOK_STRING), }; struct a { struct s baz[10]; size_t count; } struct json_obj_descr array[] = { JSON_OBJ_DESCR_OBJ_ARRAY(struct a, baz, 10, count, descr, ARRAY_SIZE(descr)), };

Since this parser is designed for machine-to-machine communications, some liberties were taken to simplify the design: (1) strings are not unescaped (but only valid escape sequences are accepted); (2) no UTF-8 validation is performed; and (3) only integer numbers are supported (no strtod() in the minimal libc).

Parameters

json	Pointer to JSON-encoded array to be parsed
len	Length of JSON-encoded array
descr	Pointer to the descriptor array
val	Pointer to the struct to hold the decoded values

Returns

0 if array has been successfully parsed. A negative value indicates an error (as defined on errno.h).

json_arr_separate_object_parse_init()

int json_arr_separate_object_parse_init	(	struct json_obj *	json,
		char *	payload,
		size_t	len
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Initialize single-object array parsing.

JSON-encoded array data is going to be parsed one object at a time. Data is provided by payload with the size of len bytes.

Function validate that Json Array start is detected and initialize json object for Json object parsing separately.

Parameters

json	Provide storage for parser states. To be used when parsing the array.
payload	Pointer to JSON-encoded array to be parsed
len	Length of JSON-encoded array

Returns

0 if array start is detected and initialization is successful or negative error code in case of failure.

json_arr_separate_parse_object()

int json_arr_separate_parse_object	(	struct json_obj *	json,
		const struct json_obj_descr *	descr,
		size_t	descr_len,
		void *	val
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Parse a single object from array.

Parses the JSON-encoded object pointed to by json object array, with size len, according to the descriptor pointed to by descr.

Parameters

json	Pointer to JSON-object message state
descr	Pointer to the descriptor array
descr_len	Number of elements in the descriptor array. Must be less than 31.
val	Pointer to the struct to hold the decoded values

Returns

< 0 if error, 0 for end of message, bitmap of decoded fields on success (bit 0 is set if first field in the descriptor has been properly decoded, etc).

json_calc_encoded_arr_len()

ssize_t json_calc_encoded_arr_len	(	const struct json_obj_descr *	descr,
		const void *	val
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Calculates the string length to fully encode an array.

Parameters

descr	Pointer to the descriptor array
val	Struct holding the values

Returns

Number of bytes necessary to encode the values if >0, an error code is returned.

json_calc_encoded_len()

ssize_t json_calc_encoded_len	(	const struct json_obj_descr *	descr,
		size_t	descr_len,
		const void *	val
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Calculates the string length to fully encode an object.

Parameters

json_calc_escaped_len()

size_t json_calc_escaped_len	(	const char *	str,
		size_t	len
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Calculates the JSON-escaped string length.

Parameters

ssize_t json_escape	(	char *	str,
		size_t *	len,
		size_t	buf_size
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Escapes the string so it can be used to encode JSON objects.

Parameters

str	The string to escape; the escape string is stored the buffer pointed to by this parameter
len	Points to a size_t containing the size before and after the escaping process
buf_size	The size of buffer str points to

Returns

0 if string has been escaped properly, or -ENOMEM if there was not enough space to escape the buffer

json_obj_encode()

descr_len	Number of elements in the descriptor array
val	Struct holding the values
append_bytes	Function to append bytes to the output

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Encodes an object in a contiguous memory location.

Parameters

descr	Pointer to the descriptor array
descr_len	Number of elements in the descriptor array
val	Struct holding the values
buffer	Buffer to store the JSON data
buf_size	Size of buffer, in bytes, with space for the terminating NUL character

json_obj_parse()

int64_t json_obj_parse	(	char *	json,
		size_t	len,
		const struct json_obj_descr *	descr,
		size_t	descr_len,
		void *	val
	)

#include <include/zephyr/data/json.h>

Parses the JSON-encoded object pointed to by json, with size len, according to the descriptor pointed to by descr. Values are stored in a struct pointed to by val. Set up the descriptor like this:

struct s { int32_t foo; char *bar; } struct json_obj_descr descr[] = { JSON_OBJ_DESCR_PRIM(struct s, foo, JSON_TOK_NUMBER), JSON_OBJ_DESCR_PRIM(struct s, bar, JSON_TOK_STRING), };

Since this parser is designed for machine-to-machine communications, some liberties were taken to simplify the design: (1) strings are not unescaped (but only valid escape sequences are accepted); (2) no UTF-8 validation is performed; and (3) only integer numbers are supported (no strtod() in the minimal libc).

Parameters

json	Pointer to JSON-encoded value to be parsed
len	Length of JSON-encoded value
descr	Pointer to the descriptor array
descr_len	Number of elements in the descriptor array. Must be less than 63 due to implementation detail reasons (if more fields are necessary, use two descriptors)
val	Pointer to the struct to hold the decoded values

Returns
