Fast iterable JSON parser.
Documentation is available at docs.rs/jiter.
jiter has three interfaces:
JsonValuean enum representing JSON dataJiteran iterator over JSON dataPythonParsewhich parses a JSON string into a Python object
See the JsonValue docs for more details.
use jiter::JsonValue;
let json_data = r#"
{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 43,
"phones": [
"+44 1234567",
"+44 2345678"
]
}"#;
let json_value = JsonValue::parse(json_data.as_bytes(), true).unwrap();
println!("{:#?}", json_value);returns:
Object(
{
"name": Str("John Doe"),
"age": Int(43),
"phones": Array(
[
Str("+44 1234567"),
Str("+44 2345678"),
],
),
},
)
To use Jiter, you need to know what schema you're expecting:
use jiter::{Jiter, NumberInt, Peek};
let json_data = r#"
{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 43,
"phones": [
"+44 1234567",
"+44 2345678"
]
}"#;
let mut jiter = Jiter::new(json_data.as_bytes());
assert_eq!(jiter.next_object().unwrap(), Some("name"));
assert_eq!(jiter.next_str().unwrap(), "John Doe");
assert_eq!(jiter.next_key().unwrap(), Some("age"));
assert_eq!(jiter.next_int().unwrap(), NumberInt::Int(43));
assert_eq!(jiter.next_key().unwrap(), Some("phones"));
assert_eq!(jiter.next_array().unwrap(), Some(Peek::String));
// we know the next value is a string as we just asserted so
assert_eq!(jiter.known_str().unwrap(), "+44 1234567");
assert_eq!(jiter.array_step().unwrap(), Some(Peek::String));
// same again
assert_eq!(jiter.known_str().unwrap(), "+44 2345678");
// next we'll get `None` from `array_step` as the array is finished
assert_eq!(jiter.array_step().unwrap(), None);
// and `None` from `next_key` as the object is finished
assert_eq!(jiter.next_key().unwrap(), None);
// and we check there's nothing else in the input
jiter.finish().unwrap();There are lies, damned lies and benchmarks.
In particular, serde-json benchmarks use serde_json::Value which is significantly slower than deserializing
to a string.
For more details, see the benchmarks.
