JsonValue

Description

sealed class Tinman.Core.Formatting.JsonValue

Derived from

IJsonValue
ISerializable

Represents a mutable JSON value.

A formatted JSON value must be written in the following Grammar:

json     := value ;

array    := '[' (value .. ',')? ']' ;
member   := string ':' value ;
object   := '{' (comment* member .. ',')? '}' ;
value    := 'false' | 'null' | 'true' | object | array | number | string ;

string   := '"' (no-chars+ | escape)* '"' ;

escape   := '\\' (["/\\bfnrt] | 'u' hexdigit[4]) ;

hexdigit := 'a'..'f' | 'A'..'F' | digit ;
number   := '-'? ('0' | '1'..'9' digit*) ('.' digit+)? (('e' | 'E') ('+' | '-')? digit+)? ;

comment  := '//' ' '? ]\n\r[* '\r'? '\n' ;
digit    := '0'..'9' ;
no-chars := ]\0\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0B\x0C\r\x0E\x0F\x10\x11\x12\x13\x14\x15\x16\x17\x18\x19\x1A\x1B\x1C\x1D\x1E\x1F"\\[ ;

The following methods may be used to set the value, changing the value type:

The following methods may be used to build array values, changing the value type to array:

The following methods may be used to build object values, changing the value type to object:

The IJsonValue interface may be used to pass around read-only references to JsonValue objects.
