--
-- local lua_value = JSON:decode(raw_json_text)

--
-- DECODING (from a JSON string to a Lua table)
--
--
-- JSON = assert(loadfile "JSON.lua")() -- one-time load of the routines
--
-- local lua_value = JSON:decode(raw_json_text)
--
-- If the JSON text is for an object or an array, e.g.
-- { "what": "books", "count": 3 }
-- or
-- [ "Larry", "Curly", "Moe" ]
--
-- the result is a Lua table, e.g.
-- { what = "books", count = 3 }
-- or
-- { "Larry", "Curly", "Moe" }
--
--
-- The encode and decode routines accept an optional second argument,
-- "etc", which is not used during encoding or decoding, but upon error
-- is passed along to error handlers. It can be of any type (including nil).
--
--
--
-- ERROR HANDLING
--
-- With most errors during decoding, this code calls
--
-- JSON:onDecodeError(message, text, location, etc)
--
-- with a message about the error, and if known, the JSON text being
-- parsed and the byte count where the problem was discovered. You can
-- replace the default JSON:onDecodeError() with your own function.
--
-- The default onDecodeError() merely augments the message with data
-- about the text and the location if known (and if a second 'etc'
-- argument had been provided to decode(), its value is tacked onto the
-- message as well), and then calls JSON.assert(), which itself defaults
-- to Lua's built-in assert(), and can also be overridden.
--
-- For example, in an Adobe Lightroom plugin, you might use something like
--
-- function JSON:onDecodeError(message, text, location, etc)
-- LrErrors.throwUserError("Internal Error: invalid JSON data")
-- end
--
-- or even just
--
-- function JSON.assert(message)
-- LrErrors.throwUserError("Internal Error: " .. message)
-- end
--
-- If JSON:decode() is passed a nil, this is called instead:
--
-- JSON:onDecodeOfNilError(message, nil, nil, etc)
--
-- and if JSON:decode() is passed HTML instead of JSON, this is called:
--
-- JSON:onDecodeOfHTMLError(message, text, nil, etc)
--
-- The use of the fourth 'etc' argument allows stronger coordination
-- between decoding and error reporting, especially when you provide your
-- own error-handling routines. Continuing with the the Adobe Lightroom
-- plugin example:
--
-- function JSON:onDecodeError(message, text, location, etc)
-- local note = "Internal Error: invalid JSON data"
-- if type(etc) = 'table' and etc.photo then
-- note = note .. " while processing for " .. etc.photo:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
-- end
-- LrErrors.throwUserError(note)
-- end
--
-- :
-- :
--
-- for i, photo in ipairs(photosToProcess) do
-- :
-- :
-- local data = JSON:decode(someJsonText, { photo = photo })
-- :
-- :
-- end
--
--
--
-- If the JSON text passed to decode() has trailing garbage (e.g. as with the JSON "[123]xyzzy"),
-- the method
--
-- JSON:onTrailingGarbage(json_text, location, parsed_value, etc)
--
-- is invoked, where:
--
-- json_text is the original JSON text being parsed,
-- location is the count of bytes into json_text where the garbage starts (6 in the example),
-- parsed_value is the Lua result of what was successfully parsed ({123} in the example),
-- etc is as above.
--
-- If JSON:onTrailingGarbage() does not abort, it should return the value decode() should return,
-- or nil + an error message.
--
-- local new_value, error_message = JSON:onTrailingGarbage()
--
-- The default handler just invokes JSON:onDecodeError("trailing garbage"...), but you can have
-- this package ignore trailing garbage via
--
-- function JSON:onTrailingGarbage(json_text, location, parsed_value, etc)
-- return parsed_value
-- end
--
--
-- DECODING AND STRICT TYPES
--
-- Because both JSON objects and JSON arrays are converted to Lua tables,
-- it's not normally possible to tell which original JSON type a
-- particular Lua table was derived from, or guarantee decode-encode
-- round-trip equivalency.
--
-- However, if you enable strictTypes, e.g.
--
-- JSON = assert(loadfile "JSON.lua")() --load the routines
-- JSON.strictTypes = true
--
-- then the Lua table resulting from the decoding of a JSON object or
-- JSON array is marked via Lua metatable, so that when re-encoded with
-- JSON:encode() it ends up as the appropriate JSON type.
--
-- (This is not the default because other routines may not work well with
-- tables that have a metatable set, for example, Lightroom API calls.)
--
--
-- ENCODING (from a lua table to a JSON string)
--
-- JSON = assert(loadfile "JSON.lua")() -- one-time load of the routines
--
-- local raw_json_text = JSON:encode(lua_table_or_value)
-- local pretty_json_text = JSON:encode_pretty(lua_table_or_value) -- "pretty printed" version for human readability
-- local custom_pretty = JSON:encode(lua_table_or_value, etc, { pretty = true, indent = "| ", align_keys = false })
--
-- On error during encoding, this code calls:
--
-- JSON:onEncodeError(message, etc)
--
-- which you can override in your local JSON object.
--
-- The 'etc' in the error call is the second argument to encode()
-- and encode_pretty(), or nil if it wasn't provided.
--
--
-- ENCODING OPTIONS
--
-- An optional third argument, a table of options, can be provided to encode().
--
-- encode_options = {
-- -- options for making "pretty" human-readable JSON (see "PRETTY-PRINTING" below)
-- pretty = true,
-- indent = " ",
-- align_keys = false,
--
-- -- other output-related options
-- null = "\0", -- see "ENCODING JSON NULL VALUES" below
-- stringsAreUtf8 = false, -- see "HANDLING UNICODE LINE AND PARAGRAPH SEPARATORS FOR JAVA" below
-- }
--
-- json_string = JSON:encode(mytable, etc, encode_options)
--
--
--
-- For reference, the defaults are:
--
-- pretty = false
-- null = nil,
-- stringsAreUtf8 = false,
--
--
--
-- PRETTY-PRINTING
--
-- Enabling the 'pretty' encode option helps generate human-readable JSON.
--
-- pretty = JSON:encode(val, etc, {
-- pretty = true,
-- indent = " ",
-- align_keys = false,
-- })
--
-- encode_pretty() is also provided: it's identical to encode() except
-- that encode_pretty() provides a default options table if none given in the call:
--
-- { pretty = true, align_keys = false, indent = " " }
--
-- For example, if
--
-- JSON:encode(data)
--
-- produces:
--
-- {"city":"Kyoto","climate":{"avg_temp":16,"humidity":"high","snowfall":"minimal"},"country":"Japan","wards":11}
--
-- then
--
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data)
--
-- produces:
--
-- {
-- "city": "Kyoto",
-- "climate": {
-- "avg_temp": 16,
-- "humidity": "high",
-- "snowfall": "minimal"
-- },
-- "country": "Japan",
-- "wards": 11
-- }
--
-- The following three lines return identical results:
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data)
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data, nil, { pretty = true, align_keys = false, indent = " " })
-- JSON:encode (data, nil, { pretty = true, align_keys = false, indent = " " })
--
-- An example of setting your own indent string:
--
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data, nil, { pretty = true, indent = "| " })
--
-- produces:
--
-- {
-- | "city": "Kyoto",
-- | "climate": {
-- | | "avg_temp": 16,
-- | | "humidity": "high",
-- | | "snowfall": "minimal"
-- | },
-- | "country": "Japan",
-- | "wards": 11
-- }
--
-- An example of setting align_keys to true:
--
-- JSON:encode_pretty(data, nil, { pretty = true, indent = " ", align_keys = true })
--
-- produces:
--
-- {
-- "city": "Kyoto",
-- "climate": {
-- "avg_temp": 16,
-- "humidity": "high",
-- "snowfall": "minimal"
-- },
-- "country": "Japan",
-- "wards": 11
-- }
--
-- which I must admit is kinda ugly, sorry. This was the default for
-- encode_pretty() prior to version 20141223.14.
--
--
-- HANDLING UNICODE LINE AND PARAGRAPH SEPARATORS FOR JAVA
--
-- If the 'stringsAreUtf8' encode option is set to true, consider Lua strings not as a sequence of bytes,
-- but as a sequence of UTF-8 characters.
--
-- Currently, the only practical effect of setting this option is that Unicode LINE and PARAGRAPH
-- separators, if found in a string, are encoded with a JSON escape instead of being dumped as is.
-- The JSON is valid either way, but encoding this way, apparently, allows the resulting JSON
-- to also be valid Java.
--
-- AMBIGUOUS SITUATIONS DURING THE ENCODING
--
-- During the encode, if a Lua table being encoded contains both string
-- and numeric keys, it fits neither JSON's idea of an object, nor its
-- idea of an array. To get around this, when any string key exists (or
-- when non-positive numeric keys exist), numeric keys are converted to
-- strings.
--
-- For example,
-- JSON:encode({ "one", "two", "three", SOMESTRING = "some string" }))
-- produces the JSON object
-- {"1":"one","2":"two","3":"three","SOMESTRING":"some string"}
--
-- To prohibit this conversion and instead make it an error condition, set
-- JSON.noKeyConversion = true
--
--
-- ENCODING JSON NULL VALUES
--
-- Lua tables completely omit keys whose value is nil, so without special handling there's
-- no way to get a field in a JSON object with a null value. For example
-- JSON:encode({ username = "admin", password = nil })
-- produces
-- {"username":"admin"}
--
-- In order to actually produce
-- {"username":"admin", "password":null}
-- one can include a string value for a "null" field in the options table passed to encode()....
-- any Lua table entry with that value becomes null in the JSON output:
-- JSON:encode({ username = "admin", password = "xyzzy" }, nil, { null = "xyzzy" })
-- produces
-- {"username":"admin", "password":null}
--
-- Just be sure to use a string that is otherwise unlikely to appear in your data.
-- The string "\0" (a string with one null byte) may well be appropriate for many applications.
--
-- The "null" options also applies to Lua tables that become JSON arrays.
-- JSON:encode({ "one", "two", nil, nil })
-- produces
-- ["one","two"]
-- while
-- NULL = "\0"
-- JSON:encode({ "one", "two", NULL, NULL}, nil, { null = NULL })
-- produces
-- ["one","two",null,null]
--
--
--
--
-- HANDLING LARGE AND/OR PRECISE NUMBERS
--
--
-- Without special handling, numbers in JSON can lose precision in Lua.
-- For example:
--
-- T = JSON:decode('{ "small":12345, "big":12345678901234567890123456789, "precise":9876.67890123456789012345 }')
--
-- print("small: ", type(T.small), T.small)
-- print("big: ", type(T.big), T.big)
-- print("precise: ", type(T.precise), T.precise)
--
-- produces
--
-- small: number 12345
-- big: number 1.2345678901235e+28
-- precise: number 9876.6789012346
--
-- Precision is lost with both 'big' and 'precise'.
--
-- This package offers ways to try to handle this better (for some definitions of "better")...
--
-- The most precise method is by setting the global:
--
-- JSON.decodeNumbersAsObjects = true
--
-- When this is set, numeric JSON data is encoded into Lua in a form that preserves the exact
-- JSON numeric presentation when re-encoded back out to JSON, or accessed in Lua as a string.
--
-- (This is done by encoding the numeric data with a Lua table/metatable that returns
-- the possibly-imprecise numeric form when accessed numerically, but the original precise
-- representation when accessed as a string. You can also explicitly access
-- via JSON:forceString() and JSON:forceNumber())
--
-- Consider the example above, with this option turned on:
--
-- JSON.decodeNumbersAsObjects = true
--
-- T = JSON:decode('{ "small":12345, "big":12345678901234567890123456789, "precise":9876.67890123456789012345 }')
--
-- print("small: ", type(T.small), T.small)
-- print("big: ", type(T.big), T.big)
-- print("precise: ", type(T.precise), T.precise)
--
-- This now produces:
--
-- small: table 12345
-- big: table 12345678901234567890123456789
-- precise: table 9876.67890123456789012345
--
-- However, within Lua you can still use the values (e.g. T.precise in the example above) in numeric
-- contexts. In such cases you'll get the possibly-imprecise numeric version, but in string contexts
-- and when the data finds its way to this package's encode() function, the original full-precision
-- representation is used.
--
-- Even without using the JSON.decodeNumbersAsObjects option, you can encode numbers
-- in your Lua table that retain high precision upon encoding to JSON, by using the JSON:asNumber()
-- function:
--
-- T = {
-- imprecise = 123456789123456789.123456789123456789,
-- precise = JSON:asNumber("123456789123456789.123456789123456789")
-- }
--
-- print(JSON:encode_pretty(T))
--
-- This produces:
--
-- {
-- "precise": 123456789123456789.123456789123456789,
-- "imprecise": 1.2345678912346e+17
-- }
--
--
--
-- A different way to handle big/precise JSON numbers is to have decode() merely return
-- the exact string representation of the number instead of the number itself.
-- This approach might be useful when the numbers are merely some kind of opaque
-- object identifier and you want to work with them in Lua as strings anyway.
--
-- This approach is enabled by setting
--
-- JSON.decodeIntegerStringificationLength = 10
--
-- The value is the number of digits (of the integer part of the number) at which to stringify numbers.
--
-- Consider our previous example with this option set to 10:
--
-- JSON.decodeIntegerStringificationLength = 10
--
-- T = JSON:decode('{ "small":12345, "big":12345678901234567890123456789, "precise":9876.67890123456789012345 }')
--
-- print("small: ", type(T.small), T.small)
-- print("big: ", type(T.big), T.big)
-- print("precise: ", type(T.precise), T.precise)
--
-- This produces:
--
-- small: number 12345
-- big: string 12345678901234567890123456789
-- precise: number 9876.6789012346
--
-- The long integer of the 'big' field is at least JSON.decodeIntegerStringificationLength digits
-- in length, so it's converted not to a Lua integer but to a Lua string. Using a value of 0 or 1 ensures
-- that all JSON numeric data becomes strings in Lua.
--
-- Note that unlike
-- JSON.decodeNumbersAsObjects = true
-- this stringification is simple and unintelligent: the JSON number simply becomes a Lua string, and that's the end of it.
-- If the string is then converted back to JSON, it's still a string. After running the code above, adding
-- print(JSON:encode(T))
-- produces
-- {"big":"12345678901234567890123456789","precise":9876.6789012346,"small":12345}
-- which is unlikely to be desired.
--
-- There's a comparable option for the length of the decimal part of a number:
--
-- JSON.decodeDecimalStringificationLength
--
-- This can be used alone or in conjunction with
--
-- JSON.decodeIntegerStringificationLength
--
-- to trip stringification on precise numbers with at least JSON.decodeIntegerStringificationLength digits after
-- the decimal point.
--
-- This example:
--
-- JSON.decodeIntegerStringificationLength = 10
-- JSON.decodeDecimalStringificationLength = 5
--
-- T = JSON:decode('{ "small":12345, "big":12345678901234567890123456789, "precise":9876.67890123456789012345 }')
--
-- print("small: ", type(T.small), T.small)
-- print("big: ", type(T.big), T.big)
-- print("precise: ", type(T.precise), T.precise)
--
-- produces:
--
-- small: number 12345
-- big: string 12345678901234567890123456789
-- precise: string 9876.67890123456789012345

-- Version history:
--
-- 20161109.21 Oops, had a small boo-boo in the previous update.
--
-- 20161103.20 Used to silently ignore trailing garbage when decoding. Now fails via JSON:onTrailingGarbage()
-- http://seriot.ch/parsing_json.php
--
-- Built-in error message about "expected comma or ']'" had mistakenly referred to '['
--
-- Updated the built-in error reporting to refer to bytes rather than characters.
--
-- The decode() method no longer assumes that error handlers abort.
--
-- Made the VERSION string a string instead of a number
--
-- 20160916.19 Fixed the isNumber.__index assignment (thanks to Jack Taylor)
--
-- 20160730.18 Added JSON:forceString() and JSON:forceNumber()
--
-- 20160728.17 Added concatenation to the metatable for JSON:asNumber()
--
-- 20160709.16 Could crash if not passed an options table (thanks jarno heikkinen <jarnoh@capturemonkey.com>).
--
-- Made JSON:asNumber() a bit more resilient to being passed the results of itself.
--
-- 20160526.15 Added the ability to easily encode null values in JSON, via the new "null" encoding option.
-- (Thanks to Adam B for bringing up the issue.)
--
-- Added some support for very large numbers and precise floats via
-- JSON.decodeNumbersAsObjects
-- JSON.decodeIntegerStringificationLength
-- JSON.decodeDecimalStringificationLength
--
-- Added the "stringsAreUtf8" encoding option. (Hat tip to http://lua-users.org/wiki/JsonModules )
--
-- 20141223.14 The encode_pretty() routine produced fine results for small datasets, but isn't really
-- appropriate for anything large, so with help from Alex Aulbach I've made the encode routines
-- more flexible, and changed the default encode_pretty() to be more generally useful.
--
-- Added a third 'options' argument to the encode() and encode_pretty() routines, to control
-- how the encoding takes place.
--
-- Updated docs to add assert() call to the loadfile() line, just as good practice so that
-- if there is a problem loading JSON.lua, the appropriate error message will percolate up.
--
-- 20140920.13 Put back (in a way that doesn't cause warnings about unused variables) the author string,
-- so that the source of the package, and its version number, are visible in compiled copies.
--
-- 20140911.12 Minor lua cleanup.
-- Fixed internal reference to 'JSON.noKeyConversion' to reference 'self' instead of 'JSON'.
-- (Thanks to SmugMug's David Parry for these.)
--
-- 20140418.11 JSON nulls embedded within an array were being ignored, such that
-- ["1",null,null,null,null,null,"seven"],
-- would return
-- {1,"seven"}
-- It's now fixed to properly return
-- {1, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, "seven"}
-- Thanks to "haddock" for catching the error.
--
-- 20140116.10 The user's JSON.assert() wasn't always being used. Thanks to "blue" for the heads up.
--
-- 20131118.9 Update for Lua 5.3... it seems that tostring(2/1) produces "2.0" instead of "2",
-- and this caused some problems.
--
-- 20131031.8 Unified the code for encode() and encode_pretty(); they had been stupidly separate,
-- and had of course diverged (encode_pretty didn't get the fixes that encode got, so
-- sometimes produced incorrect results; thanks to Mattie for the heads up).
--
-- Handle encoding tables with non-positive numeric keys (unlikely, but possible).
--
-- If a table has both numeric and string keys, or its numeric keys are inappropriate
-- (such as being non-positive or infinite), the numeric keys are turned into
-- string keys appropriate for a JSON object. So, as before,
-- JSON:encode({ "one", "two", "three" })
-- produces the array
-- ["one","two","three"]
-- but now something with mixed key types like
-- JSON:encode({ "one", "two", "three", SOMESTRING = "some string" }))
-- instead of throwing an error produces an object:
-- {"1":"one","2":"two","3":"three","SOMESTRING":"some string"}
--
-- To maintain the prior throw-an-error semantics, set
-- JSON.noKeyConversion = true
--
-- 20131004.7 Release under a Creative Commons CC-BY license, which I should have done from day one, sorry.
--
-- 20130120.6 Comment update: added a link to the specific page on my blog where this code can
-- be found, so that folks who come across the code outside of my blog can find updates
-- more easily.
--
-- 20111207.5 Added support for the 'etc' arguments, for better error reporting.
--
-- 20110731.4 More feedback from David Kolf on how to make the tests for Nan/Infinity system independent.
--
-- 20110730.3 Incorporated feedback from David Kolf at http://lua-users.org/wiki/JsonModules:
--
-- * When encoding lua for JSON, Sparse numeric arrays are now handled by
-- spitting out full arrays, such that
-- JSON:encode({"one", "two", [10] = "ten"})
-- returns
-- ["one","two",null,null,null,null,null,null,null,"ten"]
--
-- In 20100810.2 and earlier, only up to the first non-null value would have been retained.
--
-- * When encoding lua for JSON, numeric value NaN gets spit out as null, and infinity as "1+e9999".
-- Version 20100810.2 and earlier created invalid JSON in both cases.
--
-- * Unicode surrogate pairs are now detected when decoding JSON.
--
-- 20100810.2 added some checking to ensure that an invalid Unicode character couldn't leak in to the UTF-8 encoding

-- 20100731.1 initial public release
