[Learn more](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Json). Installation ------------ [](#installation) With [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), to include this library into your dependencies, you need to require [`hoa/json`](https://packagist.org/packages/hoa/json): ``` $ composer require hoa/json '~2.0' ``` For more installation procedures, please read [the Source page](https://hoa-project.net/Source.html). Testing ------- [](#testing) Before running the json suites, the development dependencies must be installed: ``` $ composer install ``` Then, to run all the test suites: ``` $ vendor/bin/hoa test:run ``` For more information, please read the [contributor guide](https://hoa-project.net/Literature/Contributor/Guide.html). Quick usage ----------- [](#quick-usage) As a quick overview, we will see how to use the grammar to parse JSON strings. ### Parse JSON strings [](#parse-json-strings) All we have to do is to use [the `Hoa\Compiler`library](https://central.hoa-project.net/Resource/Library/Compiler). For instance, in CLI: ``` $ echo '{"foo": 42, "bar": [1, [2, [3, 5], 8], 13]}' | hoa compiler:pp hoa://Library/Json/Grammar.pp 0 -v dump > #object > > #pair > > > token(string:string, foo) > > > token(number, 42) > > #pair > > > token(string:string, bar) > > > #array > > > > token(number, 1) > > > > #array > > > > > token(number, 2) > > > > > #array > > > > > > token(number, 3) > > > > > > token(number, 5) > > > > > token(number, 8) > > > > token(number, 13) ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) The [hack book of `Hoa\Json`](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Json) contains detailed information about how to use this library and how it works. To generate the documentation locally, execute the following commands: ``` $ composer require --dev hoa/devtools $ vendor/bin/hoa devtools:documentation --open ``` More documentation can be found on the project's website: [hoa-project.net](https://hoa-project.net/).
