Overview

The Doc class is used to parse and navigate a JSON document. The model it employs is that of a document that while open can be navigated and values extracted. Once the document is closed the document can not longer be accessed. This allows the parsing and data extraction to be extremely fast compared to other JSON parses.

An Oj::Doc class is not created directly but the _open()_ class method is used to open a document and the yield parameter to the block of the #open() call is the Doc instance. The Doc instance can be moved across, up, and down the JSON document. At each element the data associated with the element can be extracted. It is also possible to just provide a path to the data to be extracted and retrieve the data in that manner.

For many of the methods a path is used to describe the location of an element. Paths follow a subset of the XPath syntax. The slash ('/') character is the separator. Each step in the path identifies the next branch to take through the document. A JSON object will expect a key string while an array will expect a positive index. A .. step indicates a move up the JSON document.

element of the array. doc.fetch() end

#=> 2

# Now try again using a path to Oj::Doc.fetch() directly and not using a

block. doc = Oj::Doc.open(json) doc.fetch('/2/three') #=> 3 doc.close()

Examples:

json = %{[
  {
    "one"   : 1,
    "two"   : 2
  },
  {
    "three" : 3,
    "four"  : 4
  }
]}
# move and get value
Oj::Doc.open(json) do |doc|
  doc.move('/1/two')
  # doc location is now at the 'two' element of the hash that is the first

Class Method Details

.open(json) ⇒ Object

Parses a JSON document String and then yields to the provided block if one is given with an instance of the Oj::Doc as the single yield parameter. If a block is not given then an Oj::Doc instance is returned and must be closed with a call to the #close() method when no longer needed.

@param [String] json JSON document string

method call

Examples:

Oj::Doc.open('[1,2,3]') { |doc| doc.size() }  #=> 4
# or as an alternative
doc = Oj::Doc.open('[1,2,3]')
doc.size()  #=> 4
doc.close()

Yield Parameters:

  • doc (Oj::Doc) —

    parsed JSON document

Yield Returns:

  • (Object) —

    returns the result of the yield as the result of the

.open_file(filename) ⇒ Object

Parses a JSON document from a file and then yields to the provided block if one is given with an instance of the Oj::Doc as the single yield parameter. If a block is not given then an Oj::Doc instance is returned and must be closed with a call to the #close() method when no longer needed.

@param [String] filename name of file that contains a JSON document

method call

Examples:

File.open('array.json', 'w') { |f| f.write('[1,2,3]') }
Oj::Doc.open_file(filename) { |doc| doc.size() }  #=> 4
# or as an alternative
doc = Oj::Doc.open_file(filename)

#fetch(path = nil, default = nil) ⇒ Object

Hash

Returns the value at the location identified by the path or the current location if the path is nil or not provided. This method will create and return an Array or Hash if that is the type of Object at the location specified. This is more expensive than navigating to the leaves of the JSON document. If a default is provided that is used if no value if found.

@param [String] path path to the location to get the type of if provided

Examples:

Oj::Doc.open('[1,2]') { |doc| doc.fetch() }      #=> [1, 2]
Oj::Doc.open('[1,2]') { |doc| doc.fetch('/1') }  #=> 1

#home ⇒ Object

Moves the document marker or location to the hoot or home position. The same operation can be performed with a Oj::Doc.move('/'). #=> '/'

Examples:

Oj::Doc.open('[1,2,3]') { |doc| doc.move('/2'); doc.home(); doc.where? }

Moves the document marker to the path specified. The path can an absolute path or a relative path.

#type(path = nil) ⇒ Object

Returns the Class of the data value at the location identified by the path or the current location if the path is nil or not provided. This method does not create the Ruby Object at the location specified so the overhead is low.

@param [String] path path to the location to get the type of if provided

Examples:
