Detailed Description

Interface to YAJL's JSON generation facilities.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct yajl_gen_t* yajl_gen

an opaque handle to a generator

typedef void(* yajl_print_t)(void *ctx, const char *str, unsigned int len)

a callback used for "printing" the results.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum yajl_gen_status

generator status codes

Enumerator:

yajl_gen_status_ok	no error
yajl_gen_keys_must_be_strings	at a point where a map key is generated, a function other than yajl_gen_string was called
yajl_max_depth_exceeded	YAJL's maximum generation depth was exceeded. see YAJL_MAX_DEPTH
yajl_gen_in_error_state	A generator function (yajl_gen_XXX) was called while in an error state
yajl_gen_generation_complete	A complete JSON document has been generated
yajl_gen_invalid_number	yajl_gen_double was passed an invalid floating point value (infinity or NaN).
yajl_gen_no_buf	A print callback was passed in, so there is no internal buffer to get from

Function Documentation

yajl_gen yajl_gen_alloc	(	const yajl_gen_config *	config,
		const yajl_alloc_funcs *	allocFuncs
	)

allocate a generator handle

Parameters:

	config	a pointer to a structure containing parameters which configure the behavior of the json generator
	allocFuncs	an optional pointer to a structure which allows the client to overide the memory allocation used by yajl. May be NULL, in which case malloc/free/realloc will be used.

Returns:: an allocated handle on success, NULL on failure (bad params)

yajl_gen yajl_gen_alloc2	(	const yajl_print_t	callback,
		const yajl_gen_config *	config,
		const yajl_alloc_funcs *	allocFuncs,
		void *	ctx
	)

allocate a generator handle that will print to the specified callback rather than storing the results in an internal buffer.

Parameters:

	callback	a pointer to a printer function. May be NULL in which case, the results will be store in an internal buffer.
	config	a pointer to a structure containing parameters which configure the behavior of the json generator.
	allocFuncs	an optional pointer to a structure which allows the client to overide the memory allocation used by yajl. May be NULL, in which case malloc/free/realloc will be used.
	ctx	a context pointer that will be passed to the printer callback.

Returns:: an allocated handle on success, NULL on failure (bad params)

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_array_close ( yajl_gen hand )

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_array_open ( yajl_gen hand )

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_bool	(	yajl_gen	hand,
		int	boolean
	)

void yajl_gen_clear ( yajl_gen hand )

clear yajl's output buffer, but maintain all internal generation state. This function will not "reset" the generator state, and is intended to enable incremental JSON outputing.

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_double	(	yajl_gen	hand,
		double	number
	)

generate a floating point number. number may not be infinity or NaN, as these have no representation in JSON. In these cases the generator will return 'yajl_gen_invalid_number'

void yajl_gen_free ( yajl_gen handle )

free a generator handle

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_get_buf	(	yajl_gen	hand,
		const unsigned char **	buf,
		unsigned int *	len
	)

access the null terminated generator buffer. If incrementally outputing JSON, one should call yajl_gen_clear to clear the buffer. This allows stream generation.

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_integer	(	yajl_gen	hand,
		long int	number
	)

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_map_close ( yajl_gen hand )

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_map_open ( yajl_gen hand )

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_null ( yajl_gen hand )

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_number	(	yajl_gen	hand,
		const char *	num,
		unsigned int	len
	)

yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_string	(	yajl_gen	hand,
		const unsigned char *	str,
		unsigned int	len
	)
