Detailed Description

Interface to YAJL's JSON generation facilities.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct yajl_gen_t* yajl_gen

an opaque handle to a generator

Examples:
reformatter/json_reformat.c.
typedef void(* yajl_print_t)(void *ctx, const char *str, size_t len)

a callback used for "printing" the results.

Enumeration Type Documentation

configuration parameters for the parser, these may be passed to yajl_gen_config() along with option specific argument(s). In general, all configuration parameters default to off.

Enumerator
yajl_gen_beautify 

generate indented (beautiful) output

yajl_gen_indent_string 

Set an indent string which is used when yajl_gen_beautify is enabled. Maybe something like \t or some number of spaces. The default is four spaces ' '.

yajl_gen_print_callback 

Set a function and context argument that should be used to output generated json. the function should conform to the yajl_print_t prototype while the context argument is a void * of your choosing.

example: yajl_gen_config(g, yajl_gen_print_callback, myFunc, myVoidPtr);

yajl_gen_validate_utf8 

Normally the generator does not validate that strings you pass to it via yajl_gen_string() are valid UTF8. Enabling this option will cause it to do so.

yajl_gen_escape_solidus 

the forward solidus (slash or '/' in human) is not required to be escaped in json text. By default, YAJL will not escape it in the iterest of saving bytes. Setting this flag will cause YAJL to always escape '/' in generated JSON strings.

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

yajl_gen_invalid_string 

returned from yajl_gen_string() when the yajl_gen_validate_utf8 option is enabled and an invalid was passed by client code.

Function Documentation

YAJL_API yajl_gen yajl_gen_alloc ( const yajl_alloc_funcs allocFuncs)

allocate a generator handle

Parameters
allocFuncsan 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)
Examples:
reformatter/json_reformat.c.
YAJL_API yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_array_close ( yajl_gen  hand)
YAJL_API yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_array_open ( yajl_gen  hand)
YAJL_API yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_bool ( yajl_gen  hand,
int  boolean 
)
YAJL_API 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.

Examples:
reformatter/json_reformat.c.
YAJL_API int yajl_gen_config ( yajl_gen  g,
yajl_gen_option  opt,
  ... 
)

allow the modification of generator options subsequent to handle allocation (via yajl_alloc)

Returns
zero in case of errors, non-zero otherwise
Examples:
reformatter/json_reformat.c.
YAJL_API 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'

YAJL_API void yajl_gen_free ( yajl_gen  handle)

free a generator handle

Examples:
reformatter/json_reformat.c.
YAJL_API yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_get_buf ( yajl_gen  hand,
const unsigned char **  buf,
size_t *  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.

Examples:
reformatter/json_reformat.c.
YAJL_API yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_integer ( yajl_gen  hand,
long long int  number 
)
YAJL_API yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_map_close ( yajl_gen  hand)
YAJL_API yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_map_open ( yajl_gen  hand)
YAJL_API yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_null ( yajl_gen  hand)
YAJL_API yajl_gen_status yajl_gen_number ( yajl_gen  hand,
const char *  num,
size_t  len 
)
YAJL_API void yajl_gen_reset ( yajl_gen  hand,
const char *  sep 
)

Reset the generator state. Allows a client to generate multiple json entities in a stream. The "sep" string will be inserted to separate the previously generated entity from the current, NULL means no separation of entites (clients beware, generating multiple JSON numbers, for instance, will result in inscrutable output)

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