type Value = SomeValue Immutable Source #

type Object = SomeObject Immutable Source #

data Options #

Options that specify how to encode/decode your datatype to/from JSON.

Options can be set using record syntax on defaultOptions with the fields below.

data SumEncoding #

Specifies how to encode constructors of a sum datatype.

Constructors

TaggedObject

A constructor will be encoded to an object with a field tagFieldName which specifies the constructor tag (modified by the constructorTagModifier). If the constructor is a record the encoded record fields will be unpacked into this object. So make sure that your record doesn't have a field with the same label as the tagFieldName. Otherwise the tag gets overwritten by the encoded value of that field! If the constructor is not a record the encoded constructor contents will be stored under the contentsFieldName field.

UntaggedValue

Constructor names won't be encoded. Instead only the contents of the constructor will be encoded as if the type had a single constructor. JSON encodings have to be disjoint for decoding to work properly.

When decoding, constructors are tried in the order of definition. If some encodings overlap, the first one defined will succeed.

Note: Nullary constructors are encoded as strings (using constructorTagModifier). Having a nullary constructor alongside a single field constructor that encodes to a string leads to ambiguity.

Note: Only the last error is kept when decoding, so in the case of malformed JSON, only an error for the last constructor will be reported.

ObjectWithSingleField

A constructor will be encoded to an object with a single field named after the constructor tag (modified by the constructorTagModifier) which maps to the encoded contents of the constructor.

TwoElemArray

A constructor will be encoded to a 2-element array where the first element is the tag of the constructor (modified by the constructorTagModifier) and the second element the encoded contents of the constructor.

defaultTaggedObject :: SumEncoding #

Default TaggedObject SumEncoding options:

defaultTaggedObject = TaggedObject
                      { tagFieldName      = "tag"
                      , contentsFieldName = "contents"
                      }

camelTo :: Char -> String -> String #

Converts from CamelCase to another lower case, interspersing the character between all capital letters and their previous entries, except those capital letters that appear together, like API.

For use by Aeson template haskell calls.

camelTo '_' 'CamelCaseAPI' == "camel_case_api"
