Parser

abstract class Parser[J] extends AnyRef

Parser implements a state machine for correctly parsing JSON data.

The trait relies on a small number of methods which are left abstract, and which generalize parsing based on whether the input is in Bytes or Chars, coming from Strings, files, or other input. All methods provided here are protected, so different parsers can choose which functionality to expose.

Parser is parameterized on J, which is the type of the JSON AST it will return. Jawn can produce any AST for which a Facade[J] is available.

The parser trait does not hold any state itself, but particular implementations will usually hold state. Parser instances should not be reused between parsing runs.

For now the parser requires input to be in UTF-8. This requirement may eventually be relaxed.

  10. abstract def reset(i: Int): Int

    The reset() method is used to signal that we're working from the given position, and any previous data can be released. Some parsers (e.g. StringParser) will ignore release, while others (e.g. PathParser) will need to use this information to release and allocate different areas.

    Parse the given number, and add it to the given context.

    Parse the given number, and add it to the given context.

    We don't actually instantiate a number here, but rather pass the string of for future use. Facades can choose to be lazy and just store the string. This ends up being way faster and has the nice side-effect that we know exactly how the user represented the number.

    Attributes
    protected[this]
  32. final def parseNumSlow(i: Int, ctxt: RawFContext[J])(implicit facade: RawFacade[J]): Int

    Parse the given number, and add it to the given context.

    Parse the given number, and add it to the given context.

    This method is a bit slower than parseNum() because it has to be sure it doesn't run off the end of the input.

    Normally (when operating in rparse in the context of an outer array or object) we don't need to worry about this and can just grab characters, because if we run out of characters that would indicate bad input. This is for cases where the number could possibly be followed by a valid EOF.

    This method has all the same caveats as the previous method.

  34. final def rparse(state: Int, j: Int, stack: List[RawFContext[J]])(implicit facade: RawFacade[J]): (J, Int)

    Tail-recursive parsing method to do the bulk of JSON parsing.

    Tail-recursive parsing method to do the bulk of JSON parsing.

    This single method manages parser states, data, etc. Except for parsing non-recursive values (like strings, numbers, and constants) all important work happens in this loop (or in methods it calls, like reset()).

    Currently the code is optimized to make use of switch statements. Future work should consider whether this is better or worse than manually constructed if/else statements or something else. Also, it may be possible to reorder some cases for speed improvements.
