We define the index of our CursorHistory' to be the Count.

Convenience alias defined for the concrete JsonCursor type.

Provide some of the type parameters that the underlying DecodeResultT requires. This contains the state and error management as we walk around our zipper and decode our JSON input.

Addtionally we keep our parsing function in a ReaderT such that it's accessible for all of the decoding steps.

Decoder type that is used directly to convert Json structures to other data types.

Wrapper type for the SuccinctCursor

Another convenience alias for the type of the function we will use to parse the input string into the Json structure.

Convenience Error structure for the separate parsing/decoding phases. For when things really aren't that complicated.

Run a Decoder for the final result to see if you have your a or an error.

Using the ParseFn, complete a DecodeResult to find out if we have the type we're after. This is mostly used internally to help build Decoder structures. Exported as it may prove useful when abstracting over the Decoder types or other such shenanigans.

Similar to the simpleDecode function, however this function expects you've already converted your input to a JCurs.

Basic usage of a Decoder is to specialise the f to be Identity, then provide the ParseFn and the ByteString input. This will run the Decoder to try to parse and decode the JSON to the a you require.

This function takes care of converting the ByteString to a JCurs.

simpleDecode (list int) myParseFn "[1,2,3]"
=
Right [1,2,3]

This function lets you override the parsing function that is being used in a decoder for a different one. This means that when building your Decoder you are not bound to only using a single parsing function. If you have specific needs for alternate parsers then you can use this function in your Decoder to make that change.

myTricksyObj = withCursor $ curs -> do
  curs' <- down curs
  fA <- fromKey "normalFieldA" int curs'
  fB <- fromKey "normalFieldB" text curs'
  wB <- overrideParser handTunedParser $ fromKey "weirdFieldC" fieldCDecoder curs'
  pure $ Foo fA fB wB

Generalise a Decoder that has been specialised to Identity back to some 'Monad f'.

Pretty print the given CursorHistory' to a more useful format compared to a Seq of i.

Function to define a Decoder for a specific data type.

For example, given the following data type:

data Image = Image
  { _imageW        :: Int
  , _imageH        :: Int
  , _imageTitle    :: Text
  , _imageAnimated :: Bool
  , _imageIDs      :: [Int]
  }

We can use withCursor to write a decoder that will be given a cursor that we can use to build the data types that we need.

imageDecoder :: Monad f => Decoder f Image
imageDecoder = withCursor $ \curs -> D.down curs >>= Image
  <$> D.fromKey "Width" D.int curs
  <*> D.fromKey "Height" D.int curs
  <*> D.fromKey "Title" D.text curs
  <*> D.fromKey "Animated" D.bool curs
  <*> D.fromKey "IDs" intArray curs

It's up to you to provide a cursor that is at the correct position for a Decoder to operate, but building decoders in this way simplifies creating decoders for larger structures, as the smaller pieces contain fewer assumptions. This encourages greater reuse of decoders and simplifies the debugging process.

Take a ByteString input and build an index of the JSON structure inside

Lens for accessing the rank of the JsonCursor. The rank forms part of the calculation that is the cursors current position in the index.

Execute the given function n times'.

Move the cursor down or into the child of the current cursor position.

The following examples use "*" to represent the cursor position.

Starting position:

 *{"fred": 33, "sally": 44 }

After moving down:

 { *"fred": 33, "sally": 44 }

This function will also move into the elements in an array:

Starting position:

 *[1,2,3]

After moving down:

 [*1,2,3]

This function is essential when dealing with the inner elements of objects or arrays. As you must first move down into the focus.

Move the cursor up into the parent of the current cursor position.

The following examples use "*" to represent the cursor position.

Starting position:

 { "fred": 33, *"sally": 44 }

After moving up:

 *{"fred": 33, "sally": 44 }

Attempt a Decoder action that might fail and return a Maybe value instead.

Move the cursor rightwards n times.

Starting position:

 [*1, 2, 3]

After moveRightN 2:

 [1, 2, *3]

Helper function to move right once.

Move the cursor leftwards n times.

Helper function to move left once.

Starting position:

 [1, 2, *3]

Ater moveLeft1:

 [1, *2, 3]

Attempt to move to the value at a given key on the current JSON object. This will only work if you have already moved down into the JSON object, because the cursor allows you to step over an entire object in a single. It has to be told to move into the object first, otherwise it will not look in the correct location for keys.

Cursor position indicated by "*".

Assuming cursor positioned here:

 *{ "foo": 33, "fieldB": "pew pew" }

This won't work, because we're AT the object, not IN the object: moveToKey "foo" cursor

This will work, because we've moved down INTO the object: down cursor >>= moveToKey "foo"

Given a rank value, attempt to move the cursor directly to that position.

Returns a InputOutOfBounds error if that position is invalid.

Using the given parsing function, attempt to decode the value of the ByteString at the current cursor position.

Move to the first occurence of this key, as per moveToKey and then attempt to run the given Decoder on that value, returning the result.

This decoder does not assume you have moved into the object.

...
txtVal <- fromKey "foo" text c
...

A simplified version of fromKey that takes a Text value indicating a key to be moved to and decoded using the given 'Decoder f a'. If you don't need any special cursor movements to reach the list of keys you require, you could use this function to build a trivial Decoder for a record type:

This decoder assumes it is positioned at the top of an object and will move down each time, before attempting to find the given key.

data MyRec = MyRec { fieldA :: Text, fieldB :: Int }

myRecDecoder :: Decoder f MyRec
myRecDecoder = MyRec
  $ atKey "field_a" text
  * atKey "field_b" int

Using the given Decoder, try to decode the current focus.

myIntList <- focus (list int) cursor

From the current cursor position, move leftwards one position at a time and push each a onto the front of some Cons structure.

From the current cursor position, move rightwards one position at a time, and append the a to some Snoc structure.

Higher order function for combining a folding function with repeated cursor movements. This lets you combine arbitrary cursor movements with an accumulating function.

The functions leftwardCons and rightwardSnoc are both impelemented using this function.

leftwardCons = foldCursor (flip cons) moveLeft1

rightwardSnoc = foldCursor snoc moveRight1

At the given cursor position, return the Count or rank of that position. Useful if you want to build a map of a complicated structure such that you're able to optimise your Decoder by using moveToRankN instead of individual cursor movements.

Create a Decoder from a Prism'.

As per prismD but fail the Decoder if unsuccessful.

Decode the Json structure at the cursor. Useful if you don't have a need to convert the Json and only want to make changes before sending it on its way.

Decode an Int.

Decode a Scientific number value.

Decoder for some Integral type. This conversion is walked through Mayan, I mean, Scientific to try to avoid numeric explosion issues.

Decode a String value.

Decode a Char value that is equivalent to a Haskell Char value, as Haskell Char supports a wider range than JSON.

Decode a Char that will fail if the Char is outside of the range U+D800 to U+DFFF.

Decode Text

Decode a Bool value.

Decode an explicit null value at the current cursor position.

Given a Decoder for a, attempt to decode a NonEmpty list of a at the current cursor position.

Helper to create a 'NonEmpty a' Decoder.

Like nonemptyAt, this takes a Decoder of a and at the given cursor will try to decode a '[a]'.

Helper function to simplify writing a '[]' decoder.

Try to decode an optional value, returning the given default value if Nothing is returned.

Named to match it's Encoder counterpart, this function will decode an optional value.

Decode either an a or a b, failing if neither Decoder succeeds. The Right decoder is attempted first.
