class NASON::Builder

Overview

A NASON builder generates valid NASON.

A NASON::Error is raised if attempting to generate an invalid NASON (for example, if invoking #end_array without a matching #start_array, or trying to use a non-string value as an object's field name).

def self.new(io : IO) #

Instance Method Detail

def array(&) #

Writes the start of an array, invokes the block, and the writes the end of it.


[View source]
def bool(value : Bool) : Nil #

Writes a boolean value.


[View source]
def document(&) #

[View source]
def end_array : Nil #

Writes the end of an array.


[View source]
def end_document : Nil #

Signals the end of a NASON document.


[View source]
def end_object : Nil #

Writes the end of an object.


[View source]
def field(name, value) #

Writes an object's field and value. The field's name is first converted to a String by invoking to_s on it.


[View source]
def field(name, &) #

Writes an object's field and then invokes the block. This is equivalent of invoking #string(value) and then invoking the block.


[View source]
def flush #

Flushes the underlying IO.


[View source]
def indent=(string : String) #

Sets the indent string.


[View source]
def indent=(level : Int) #

Sets the indent level (number of spaces).


[View source]
def max_nesting : Int32 #

By default the maximum nesting of arrays/objects is 99. Nesting more than this will result in a NASON::Error. Changing the value of this property allows more/less nesting.


[View source]
def max_nesting=(max_nesting : Int32) #

By default the maximum nesting of arrays/objects is 99. Nesting more than this will result in a NASON::Error. Changing the value of this property allows more/less nesting.


[View source]
def next_is_object_key? : Bool #

Returns true if the next thing that must pushed into this builder is an object key (so a string) or the end of an object.


[View source]
def null : Nil #

Writes a #null value.


[View source]
def number(number : Int) : Nil #

Writes an integer.


[View source]
def number(number : Float) : Nil #

Writes a float.


[View source]
def number(number : BigDecimal) : Nil #

Writes a big decimal.


[View source]
def object(&) #

Writes the start of an object, invokes the block, and the writes the end of it.


[View source]
def raw(string : String) : Nil #

Writes a raw value, considered a scalar, directly into the IO without processing. This is the only method that might lead to invalid NASON being generated, so you must be sure that string contains a valid NASON string.


[View source]
def scalar(value : Nil) #

Writes a scalar value.


[View source]
def scalar(value : Null) #

Writes a scalar value.


[View source]
def scalar(value : Bool) #

Writes a scalar value.


[View source]
def scalar(value : Int | Float) : Nil #

Writes a scalar value.


[View source]
def scalar(value : String) : Nil #

Writes a scalar value.


[View source]
def start_array : Nil #

Writes the start of an array.


[View source]
def start_document : Nil #

Starts a document.


[View source]
def start_object : Nil #

Writes the start of an object.


[View source]
def string(value) : Nil #

Writes a string. The given value is first converted to a String by invoking to_s on it.

This method can also be used to write the name of an object field.
