Also because why not. Basic Usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) Once included in your project, the easiest way to use it is probably using the static initializers: ``` $jsonToGO = \DCarbone\JSONToGO::parse('RootTypeName', $myjson); ``` This will return to you an instance of a concrete implementation of [AbstractType](./src/JSONToGO/Types/AbstractType.php) with your input parsed. If there was an issue during parsing, an exception will be thrown. For a complete list of possible types, see [here](./src/JSONToGO/Types) This class implements `__toString()`, and the return value is the parsed GO object. General Rules ------------- [](#general-rules) - If a property name in an object is entirely comprised of numbers, it will be prefixed with `Num` - If a property name in an object begins with a non-alphanumeric value, it will be prefixed with `X` - If a property name in an object has a numerical first character, that character will be converted to a string following the map seen [here](./src/JSONToGO/Configuration.php#L25). (e.g.: `80211X` becomes `Eight_0211X`) You may optionally define your own map when initializing the Configuration class. - If a type is not possible (is a NULL in the example json...), or if there is a value type conflict between keys within a map, the type will be defined as `interface{}` - The names for things will always be Exported - It is always a good idea to run the results through `go fmt` Custom Configuration -------------------- [](#custom-configuration) There are a few possible options when parsing JSON, definable in the [Configuration](./src/JSONToGO/Configuration.php)class: - `forceOmitEmpty` - Will always place the `json:,omitempty` markup at the end of struct properties - `forceIntToFloat` - Will convert all `int` types to `float`. - `useSimpleInt` - Will, if using ints, use the simple `int` type rather than attempting to determine `int32` vs `int64` - `forceScalarToPointer` - Will turn all simple types (string, int, float, bool) into pointers - `emptyStructToInterface` - Will convert an object without properties into an `interface{}` - `breakOutInlineStructs` - Will create bespoke type definitions for nested objects - `sanitizeInput` - Will override the values present in the example json (see [here](./src/JSONToGO.php#L121)) - `initialNumberMap`- Array to use for converting number characters to alpha characters at the beginning of struct - `callbacks` - Instance of [Callbacks](./src/JSONToGO/Callbacks.php) or array of `['callback' => callable]` where `callback` == name of parameter on [Callbacks](./src/JSONToGO/Callbacks.php) and `callable` == any valid php callable that accepts the parameters present in the function named the same as the property. ### Map and RawMessage types [](#map-and-rawmessage-types) By default, the [MapType](src/JSONToGO/Types/MapType.php) and [RawMessageType](./src/JSONToGO/Types/RawMessageType.php)are never used. To take advantage of these types, you must implement your own [goType](./src/JSONToGO/Typer.php#L30)that returns either `map` or `raw` respectively. Examples: --------- [](#examples) Taking this example JSON payload ([source](http://json.org/example.html)): ``` {"web-app": { "servlet": [ { "servlet-name": "cofaxCDS", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cds.CDSServlet", "init-param": { "configGlossary:installationAt": "Philadelphia, PA", "configGlossary:adminEmail": "ksm@pobox.com", "configGlossary:poweredBy": "Cofax", "configGlossary:poweredByIcon": "/images/cofax.gif", "configGlossary:staticPath": "/content/static", "templateProcessorClass": "org.cofax.WysiwygTemplate", "templateLoaderClass": "org.cofax.FilesTemplateLoader", "templatePath": "templates", "templateOverridePath": "", "defaultListTemplate": "listTemplate.htm", "defaultFileTemplate": "articleTemplate.htm", "useJSP": false, "jspListTemplate": "listTemplate.jsp", "jspFileTemplate": "articleTemplate.jsp", "cachePackageTagsTrack": 200, "cachePackageTagsStore": 200, "cachePackageTagsRefresh": 60, "cacheTemplatesTrack": 100, "cacheTemplatesStore": 50, "cacheTemplatesRefresh": 15, "cachePagesTrack": 200, "cachePagesStore": 100, "cachePagesRefresh": 10, "cachePagesDirtyRead": 10, "searchEngineListTemplate": "forSearchEnginesList.htm", "searchEngineFileTemplate": "forSearchEngines.htm", "searchEngineRobotsDb": "WEB-INF/robots.db", "useDataStore": true, "dataStoreClass": "org.cofax.SqlDataStore", "redirectionClass": "org.cofax.SqlRedirection", "dataStoreName": "cofax", "dataStoreDriver": "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver", "dataStoreUrl": "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://LOCALHOST:1433;DatabaseName=goon", "dataStoreUser": "sa", "dataStorePassword": "dataStoreTestQuery", "dataStoreTestQuery": "SET NOCOUNT ON;select test='test';", "dataStoreLogFile": "/usr/local/tomcat/logs/datastore.log", "dataStoreInitConns": 10, "dataStoreMaxConns": 100, "dataStoreConnUsageLimit": 100, "dataStoreLogLevel": "debug", "maxUrlLength": 500}}, { "servlet-name": "cofaxEmail", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cds.EmailServlet", "init-param": { "mailHost": "mail1", "mailHostOverride": "mail2"}}, { "servlet-name": "cofaxAdmin", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cds.AdminServlet"}, { "servlet-name": "fileServlet", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cds.FileServlet"}, { "servlet-name": "cofaxTools", "servlet-class": "org.cofax.cms.CofaxToolsServlet", "init-param": { "templatePath": "toolstemplates/", "log": 1, "logLocation": "/usr/local/tomcat/logs/CofaxTools.log", "logMaxSize": "", "dataLog": 1, "dataLogLocation": "/usr/local/tomcat/logs/dataLog.log", "dataLogMaxSize": "", "removePageCache": "/content/admin/remove?cache=pages&id=", "removeTemplateCache": "/content/admin/remove?cache=templates&id=", "fileTransferFolder": "/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/content/fileTransferFolder", "lookInContext": 1, "adminGroupID": 4, "betaServer": true}}], "servlet-mapping": { "cofaxCDS": "/", "cofaxEmail": "/cofaxutil/aemail/*", "cofaxAdmin": "/admin/*", "fileServlet": "/static/*", "cofaxTools": "/tools/*"}, "taglib": { "taglib-uri": "cofax.tld", "taglib-location": "/WEB-INF/tlds/cofax.tld"}}} ``` And executing the following: ``` $go = \DCarbone\JSONToGO::parse('RootTypeName', $json); file_put_contents(__DIR__.'/example.go', (string)$go); ``` Will result in (pre `go fmt`): ``` type RootTypeName struct { WebApp struct { Servlet []struct { ServletName string `json:"servlet-name"` ServletClass string `json:"servlet-class"` InitParam struct { ConfigGlossaryInstallationAt string `json:"configGlossary:installationAt"` ConfigGlossaryAdminEmail string `json:"configGlossary:adminEmail"` ConfigGlossaryPoweredBy string `json:"configGlossary:poweredBy"` ConfigGlossaryPoweredByIcon string `json:"configGlossary:poweredByIcon"` ConfigGlossaryStaticPath string `json:"configGlossary:staticPath"` TemplateProcessorClass string `json:"templateProcessorClass"` TemplateLoaderClass string `json:"templateLoaderClass"` TemplatePath string `json:"templatePath"` TemplateOverridePath string `json:"templateOverridePath"` DefaultListTemplate string `json:"defaultListTemplate"` DefaultFileTemplate string `json:"defaultFileTemplate"` UseJSP bool `json:"useJSP"` JspListTemplate string `json:"jspListTemplate"` JspFileTemplate string `json:"jspFileTemplate"` CachePackageTagsTrack int `json:"cachePackageTagsTrack"` CachePackageTagsStore int `json:"cachePackageTagsStore"` CachePackageTagsRefresh int `json:"cachePackageTagsRefresh"` CacheTemplatesTrack int `json:"cacheTemplatesTrack"` CacheTemplatesStore int `json:"cacheTemplatesStore"` CacheTemplatesRefresh int `json:"cacheTemplatesRefresh"` CachePagesTrack int `json:"cachePagesTrack"` CachePagesStore int `json:"cachePagesStore"` CachePagesRefresh int `json:"cachePagesRefresh"` CachePagesDirtyRead int `json:"cachePagesDirtyRead"` SearchEngineListTemplate string `json:"searchEngineListTemplate"` SearchEngineFileTemplate string `json:"searchEngineFileTemplate"` SearchEngineRobotsDb string `json:"searchEngineRobotsDb"` UseDataStore bool `json:"useDataStore"` DataStoreClass string `json:"dataStoreClass"` RedirectionClass string `json:"redirectionClass"` DataStoreName string `json:"dataStoreName"` DataStoreDriver string `json:"dataStoreDriver"` DataStoreURL string `json:"dataStoreUrl"` DataStoreUser string `json:"dataStoreUser"` DataStorePassword string `json:"dataStorePassword"` DataStoreTestQuery string `json:"dataStoreTestQuery"` DataStoreLogFile string `json:"dataStoreLogFile"` DataStoreInitConns int `json:"dataStoreInitConns"` DataStoreMaxConns int `json:"dataStoreMaxConns"` DataStoreConnUsageLimit int `json:"dataStoreConnUsageLimit"` DataStoreLogLevel string `json:"dataStoreLogLevel"` MaxURLLength int `json:"maxUrlLength"` } `json:"init-param,omitempty"` } `json:"servlet"` ServletMapping struct { CofaxCDS string `json:"cofaxCDS"` CofaxEmail string `json:"cofaxEmail"` CofaxAdmin string `json:"cofaxAdmin"` FileServlet string `json:"fileServlet"` CofaxTools string `json:"cofaxTools"` } `json:"servlet-mapping"` Taglib struct { TaglibURI string `json:"taglib-uri"` TaglibLocation string `json:"taglib-location"` } `json:"taglib"` } `json:"web-app"` } ``` ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 52% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity61 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
