std/json

import "std/json" as json;

parse reads one complete JSON document and returns a failable Value:

var value = json.parse("{\"name\":\"Zap\",\"active\":true}") or err {
    eprintln(err.message);
    return 1;
};

var object = value.asObject() or err {
    eprintln(err.message);
    return 1;
};
var name = object.getString("name") or err {
    eprintln(err.message);
    return 1;
};
println(name);

Types

Kind identifies String, Number, Boolean, Null, Object, or Array.
Value has constructors for every JSON kind, predicates such as isArray(), checked accessors asString(), asInt(), asUInt(), asFloat64(), asBool(), asObject(), and asArray(), plus stringify().
Object provides overloaded put, putNull, has, size, get, keyAt, typed getString, getInt, getUInt, getFloat64, getBool, getObject, and getArray, plus stringify().
Array provides overloaded push, pushNull, size, at, the matching typed getters, and stringify().

parse(text) and parse(text, maxDepth) report json.Error on invalid JSON. The checked accessors and serializers use the same error type. JSON strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, objects, arrays, escapes, and nested values are supported.
