> Pure-Swift JSON parser & formatter. Fully streamable input and output. Linux & OS X ready. Replacement for NSJSONSerialization.
Jay conforms to the following specifications:
- JSON [RFC4627](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt)
- [Open Swift C7 JSON](https://github.com/open-swift/C7/blob/master/Sources/JSON.swift) with the use of [Jay-C7](https://github.com/czechboy0/Jay-C7)
For extra convenience functions when working with the JSON enum, check out [Jay-Extras](https://github.com/czechboy0/Jay-Extras).
# :question: Why?
We all use JSON. Especially when writing server-side Swift that needs to run on Linux. `#0dependencies`
This is my take on how a JSON parser should work. *This is not another JSON mapping utility library.* This is an actual **JSON parser** and **formatter**. Check out the code, it was fun to write 😇
# Features
- [x] Parsing: data -> JSON object
- [x] Formatting: JSON object -> data
- [x] Pretty printing
- [x] Streaming input and output, low memory footprint
# Usage
## Parsing from data (deserialization)
```swift
do {
//get data from disk/network
let data: [UInt8] = ...
//ask Jay to parse your data
let json = try Jay().jsonFromData(data) // JSON
//or
let json = try Jay().anyJsonFromData(data) // [String: Any] or [Any]
//if it doesn't throw an error, all went well
if let tasks = json.dictionary?["today"]?.array {
//you have a dictionary root object, with an array under the key "today"
print(tasks) //["laundry", "cook dinner for gf"]
}
} catch {
print("Parsing error: \(error)")
}
```
## Formatting into data (serialization)
```swift
do {
//get a json object (works for both [String: Any] and typesafe versions - JSON)
//ask Jay to generate data
let anyContainer = ... // [String: Any] or [Any]
let data = try Jay(formatting: .prettified).dataFromJson(any: json) // [UInt8]
//or
let json: JSON = ... // JSON
let data = try Jay(formatting: .prettified).dataFromJson(json: json) // [UInt8]
//send data over network, save to disk
} catch {
print("Formatting error: \(error)")
}
```
