pick-json

pick stuff from json - FAST

Feature

• fast.
• simple.
• lightweight. just stdlib "encoding/json" and ~2.0 KB
• incomplete json still work well.
• no need to define parent key for nested target.

Fast? How?

• read json as stream.
• stop when found.
• and you can also set the limit.

Use cases

• we just need a part of the json.
• in case you need to parse all the json, please use the "encoding/json" Unmarshal or Decoder

Examples

JSON_EXAMPLE := `{   
    "benchmark": "benchmark text 1",
    "menu": {
        "header": "SVG Viewer",
        "image": { 
            "src": "Images/Sun.png",
            "name": "sun1",
            "hOffset": 250,
            "vOffset": 250,
            "alignment": "center",
            "hidden": true
        }
    },
    "benchmark": "benchmark text 2",
}`

• pick string

benchmarks := PickString(strings.NewReader(JSON_EXAMPLE), "benchmark", 0)
// [benchmark text 1 benchmark text 2]

• pick string just the 1st one

benchmarks := PickString(strings.NewReader(JSON_EXAMPLE), "benchmark", 1)
// [benchmark text 1]

• pick bool

hidden := PickBool(strings.NewReader(JSON_EXAMPLE), "hidden", 0)
// [true]

• pick object

type Image struct {
    Src       string `json:"src"`
    Name      string `json:"name"`
    HOffset   int    `json:"hOffset"`
    VOffset   int    `json:"vOffset"`
    Alignment string `json:"alignment"`
}

var image Image

err := PickObject(strings.NewReader(JSON_EXAMPLE), "image", &image)
// {Images/Sun.png sun1 250 250 center}
