# JSON Types

data JSValue #

JSON values

The type to which we encode Haskell values. There's a set of primitives, and a couple of heterogenous collection types.

Objects:

An object structure is represented as a pair of curly brackets surrounding zero or more name/value pairs (or members). A name is a string. A single colon comes after each name, separating the name from the value. A single comma separates a value from a following name.

Arrays:

An array structure is represented as square brackets surrounding zero or more values (or elements). Elements are separated by commas.

Only valid JSON can be constructed this way

encode :: JSON a => a -> String #

Encode a Haskell value into a string, in JSON format.

This is a superset of JSON, as types other than Array and Object are allowed at the top level.

This is a superset of JSON, as types other than Array and Object are allowed at the top level.

encodeStrict :: JSON a => a -> String #

Encode a value as a String in strict JSON format. This follows the spec, and requires all values at the top level to be wrapped in either an Array or Object. JSON types to be an Array or Object.

Decode a String representing a strict JSON value. This follows the spec, and requires top level JSON types to be an Array or Object.
