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

◆ Json_path_leg_pointers

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ 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_valueA String to be interpreted as a path.
[in]forbid_wildcardsTrue if the path shouldn't contain * or **
[out]json_pathThe 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.

Parameters
[in]path_lengthThe length of the path expression.
[in]path_expressionThe string form of the path expression.
[out]pathThe Json_path object to be initialized.
[out]bad_indexIf null is returned, the parsing failed around here.
Returns
false on success, true on error

Initialize a Json_path from a path expression.
