Convert from a JSON value
:: (Yesod site, ToJSON a) | |
=> WidgetFor site () | HTML |
-> HandlerFor site a | JSON |
-> HandlerFor site TypedContent |
Provide both an HTML and JSON representation for a piece of
data, using the default layout for the HTML output
(defaultLayout
).
Since: 0.3.0
jsonToRepJson :: (Monad m, ToJSON a) => a -> m Value Source #
Deprecated: Use returnJson instead
Wraps a data type in a RepJson
. The data type must
support conversion to JSON via ToJSON
.
Since: 0.3.0
returnJson :: (Monad m, ToJSON a) => a -> m Value Source #
Convert a value to a JSON representation via aeson's toJSON
function.
Since: 1.2.1
returnJsonEncoding :: (Monad m, ToJSON a) => a -> m Encoding Source #
Convert a value to a JSON representation via aeson's toEncoding
function.
Since: 1.4.21
provideJson :: (Monad m, ToJSON a) => a -> Writer (Endo [ProvidedRep m]) () Source #
Provide a JSON representation for usage with selectReps
, using aeson's
toJSON
(aeson >= 0.11: toEncoding
) function to perform the conversion.
Since: 1.2.1
Convert to a JSON value
parseCheckJsonBody :: (MonadHandler m, FromJSON a) => m (Result a) Source #
Parse the request body to a data type as a JSON value. The
data type must support conversion from JSON via FromJSON
.
If you want the raw JSON value, just ask for a
.Result
Value
The MIME type must indicate JSON content. Requiring a JSON content-type helps secure your site against CSRF attacks (browsers will perform POST requests for form and text/plain content-types without doing a CORS check, and those content-types can easily contain valid JSON).
Note that this function will consume the request body. As such, calling it twice will result in a parse error on the second call, since the request body will no longer be available.
Since: 0.3.0
parseInsecureJsonBody :: (MonadHandler m, FromJSON a) => m (Result a) Source #
Same as parseCheckJsonBody
, but does not check that the mime type
indicates JSON content.
Note: This function is vulnerable to CSRF attacks.
Since: 1.6.11
requireCheckJsonBody :: (MonadHandler m, FromJSON a) => m a Source #
Same as parseCheckJsonBody
, but return an invalid args response on a parse
error.
requireInsecureJsonBody :: (MonadHandler m, FromJSON a) => m a Source #
Same as parseInsecureJsonBody
, but return an invalid args response on a parse
error.
Since: 1.6.11
Deprecated JSON conversion
parseJsonBody :: (MonadHandler m, FromJSON a) => m (Result a) Source #
Deprecated: Use parseCheckJsonBody or parseInsecureJsonBody instead
Same as parseInsecureJsonBody
Since: 0.3.0
parseJsonBody_ :: (MonadHandler m, FromJSON a) => m a Source #
Deprecated: Use requireCheckJsonBody or requireInsecureJsonBody instead
Same as parseInsecureJsonBody
, but return an invalid args response on a parse
error.
requireJsonBody :: (MonadHandler m, FromJSON a) => m a Source #
Deprecated: Use requireCheckJsonBody or requireInsecureJsonBody instead
Same as parseInsecureJsonBody
, but return an invalid args response on a parse
error.
Produce JSON values
A JSON value represented as a Haskell value.
Instances
A type that can be converted to JSON.
Instances in general must specify toJSON
and should (but don't need
to) specify toEncoding
.
An example type and instance:
-- Allow ourselves to writeText
literals. {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} data Coord = Coord { x :: Double, y :: Double } instanceToJSON
Coord wheretoJSON
(Coord x y) =object
["x".=
x, "y".=
y]toEncoding
(Coord x y) =pairs
("x".=
x<>
"y".=
y)
Instead of manually writing your ToJSON
instance, there are two options
to do it automatically:
- Data.Aeson.TH provides Template Haskell functions which will derive an instance at compile time. The generated instance is optimized for your type so it will probably be more efficient than the following option.
- The compiler can provide a default generic implementation for
toJSON
.
To use the second, simply add a deriving
clause to your
datatype and declare a Generic
ToJSON
instance. If you require nothing other than
defaultOptions
, it is sufficient to write (and this is the only
alternative where the default toJSON
implementation is sufficient):
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-} import GHC.Generics data Coord = Coord { x :: Double, y :: Double } derivingGeneric
instanceToJSON
Coord wheretoEncoding
=genericToEncoding
defaultOptions
If on the other hand you wish to customize the generic decoding, you have to implement both methods:
customOptions =defaultOptions
{fieldLabelModifier
=map
toUpper
} instanceToJSON
Coord wheretoJSON
=genericToJSON
customOptionstoEncoding
=genericToEncoding
customOptions
Previous versions of this library only had the toJSON
method. Adding
toEncoding
had two reasons:
- toEncoding is more efficient for the common case that the output of
toJSON
is directly serialized to aByteString
. Further, expressing either method in terms of the other would be non-optimal. - The choice of defaults allows a smooth transition for existing users:
Existing instances that do not define
toEncoding
still compile and have the correct semantics. This is ensured by making the default implementation oftoEncoding
usetoJSON
. This produces correct results, but since it performs an intermediate conversion to aValue
, it will be less efficient than directly emitting anEncoding
. (this also means that specifying nothing more thaninstance ToJSON Coord
would be sufficient as a generically decoding instance, but there probably exists no good reason to not specifytoEncoding
in new instances.)
Nothing
Convert a Haskell value to a JSON-friendly intermediate type.
toEncoding :: a -> Encoding #
Encode a Haskell value as JSON.
The default implementation of this method creates an
intermediate Value
using toJSON
. This provides
source-level compatibility for people upgrading from older
versions of this library, but obviously offers no performance
advantage.
To benefit from direct encoding, you must provide an
implementation for this method. The easiest way to do so is by
having your types implement Generic
using the DeriveGeneric
extension, and then have GHC generate a method body as follows.
instanceToJSON
Coord wheretoEncoding
=genericToEncoding
defaultOptions
toJSONList :: [a] -> Value #
toEncodingList :: [a] -> Encoding #
Instances
A type that can be converted from JSON, with the possibility of failure.
In many cases, you can get the compiler to generate parsing code for you (see below). To begin, let's cover writing an instance by hand.
There are various reasons a conversion could fail. For example, an
Object
could be missing a required key, an Array
could be of
the wrong size, or a value could be of an incompatible type.
The basic ways to signal a failed conversion are as follows:
empty
andmzero
work, but are terse and uninformative;fail
yields a custom error message;typeMismatch
produces an informative message for cases when the value encountered is not of the expected type.
An example type and instance using typeMismatch
:
-- Allow ourselves to writeText
literals. {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} data Coord = Coord { x :: Double, y :: Double } instanceFromJSON
Coord whereparseJSON
(Object
v) = Coord<$>
v.:
"x"<*>
v.:
"y" -- We do not expect a non-Object
value here. -- We could usemzero
to fail, buttypeMismatch
-- gives a much more informative error message.parseJSON
invalid =typeMismatch
"Coord" invalid
For this common case of only being concerned with a single
type of JSON value, the functions withObject
, withNumber
, etc.
are provided. Their use is to be preferred when possible, since
they are more terse. Using withObject
, we can rewrite the above instance
(assuming the same language extension and data type) as:
instanceFromJSON
Coord whereparseJSON
=withObject
"Coord" $ \v -> Coord<$>
v.:
"x"<*>
v.:
"y"
Instead of manually writing your FromJSON
instance, there are two options
to do it automatically:
- Data.Aeson.TH provides Template Haskell functions which will derive an instance at compile time. The generated instance is optimized for your type so it will probably be more efficient than the following option.
- The compiler can provide a default generic implementation for
parseJSON
.
To use the second, simply add a deriving
clause to your
datatype and declare a Generic
FromJSON
instance for your datatype without giving
a definition for parseJSON
.
For example, the previous example can be simplified to just:
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-} import GHC.Generics data Coord = Coord { x :: Double, y :: Double } derivingGeneric
instanceFromJSON
Coord
The default implementation will be equivalent to
parseJSON =
; If you need different
options, you can customize the generic decoding by defining:genericParseJSON
defaultOptions
customOptions =defaultOptions
{fieldLabelModifier
=map
toUpper
} instanceFromJSON
Coord whereparseJSON
=genericParseJSON
customOptions
Nothing
Instances
(.:) :: FromJSON a => Object -> Text -> Parser a #
Retrieve the value associated with the given key of an Object
.
The result is empty
if the key is not present or the value cannot
be converted to the desired type.
This accessor is appropriate if the key and value must be present
in an object for it to be valid. If the key and value are
optional, use .:?
instead.
Convenience functions
:: (MonadHandler m, ToJSON a) | |
=> Route (HandlerSite m) | Redirect target |
-> a | Data to send via JSON |
-> m Value |
jsonOrRedirect simplifies the scenario where a POST handler sends a different response based on Accept headers:
- 200 with JSON data if the client prefers
application/json
(e.g. AJAX, seeacceptsJSON
). - 3xx otherwise, following the PRG pattern.
jsonEncodingOrRedirect Source #
:: (MonadHandler m, ToJSON a) | |
=> Route (HandlerSite m) | Redirect target |
