Detailed Description

This file contains interface support for the JSON path abstraction.

The path abstraction is described by the functional spec attached to WL#7909.

Typedef Documentation

◆ Json_path_iterator

using Json_path_iterator = Json_path_leg_pointers::const_iterator

◆ Json_path_leg_pointers

using Json_path_leg_pointers = Prealloced_array<const Json_path_leg *, 8>

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ enum_json_path_leg_type

enum enum_json_path_leg_type

The type of a Json_path_leg.

Enumerator
jpl_member	A path leg that represents a JSON object member (such as `.name`). This path leg matches a single member in a JSON object.
jpl_array_cell	A path leg that represents a JSON array cell (such as `[10]`). This path leg matches a single element in a JSON object.
jpl_array_range	A path leg that represents a range in a JSON array (such as `[2 to 7]`).
jpl_member_wildcard	A path leg that represents the member wildcard. A path leg that represents the member wildcard (`.*`), which matches all the members of a JSON object.
jpl_array_cell_wildcard	A path leg that represents the array wildcard (`[*]`), which matches all the elements of a JSON array.
jpl_ellipsis	A path leg that represents the ellipsis (`**`), which matches any JSON value and recursively all the JSON values nested within it if it is an object or an array.

Function Documentation

◆ parse_path() [1/2]

bool parse_path	(	const String &	path_value,
		bool	forbid_wildcards,
		Json_path *	json_path
	)

A helper function that uses the above one as workhorse.

Entry point for for JSON_TABLE (Table_function_json class) and Json_path_cache. Raises an error if the path expression is syntactically incorrect. Raises an error if the path expression contains wildcard tokens but is not supposed to. Otherwise updates the supplied Json_path object with the parsed path.

Parameters

[in]	path_value	A String to be interpreted as a path.
[in]	forbid_wildcards	True if the path shouldn't contain * or **
[out]	json_path	The object that will hold the parsed path

Returns: false on success (valid path or NULL), true on error

◆ parse_path() [2/2]

bool parse_path	(	size_t	path_length,
		const char *	path_expression,
		Json_path *	path,
		size_t *	bad_index
	)

Initialize a Json_path from a path expression.

Stops parsing on the first error. It initializes the Json_path and returns false if the path is parsed successfully. Otherwise, it returns false. In that case, the output bad_index argument will contain an index into the path expression. The parsing failed near that index.
