How would I go about supporting :: aka $colon$colon$ aka Scala's native nonempty list?

I tried writing a generic custom serializer but now all my nested case classes turned into maps :/

jrciii

@jrciii

class DoubleColonSerializer[A](formats: Formats = DefaultFormats)(implicit m: Manifest[A]) extends CustomSerializer[::[A]]({ _ =>
  implicit val f = formats
  ({
    case jArr: JArray =>
      val l = jArr.extract[List[A]]
      ::(l.head, l.tail)
  },{
    case nel: ::[A] =>
      JArray(nel.map(Extraction.decompose))
  })
})

implicit val formats =
      DefaultFormats +
        new DoubleColonSerializer[Any]

Seems to turn any case class in a :: into an object. Wonder if Im missing a special function instead of extract/decompose

@jrciii

I and the deserialized value's class is the same as the final type, but the deserialized object's inner fields are maps where they should be case classes... what sorcery is this? Both the expected and actual class == each other but they have different fields!

Maybe case classes actually are maps?

@jrciii

So I had to write a second custom serializer that can use the generic serializer for decompose, but I had to write the extract part painstakingly by had D:

@violence102

hello, is there a way to set in my CustomSerializer strictOptionParsing to true?

I have Formats that came in the constructor CustomSerializerSomeType => implicit val f: Formats = format ...

is there a way to change strictOptionParsing in the taken format somehow?

violence102

@violence102

like i.e. DoubleColonSerializer above I would like that the local val f = formats will have a strict option parsing enabled

Is there a way to tell json4s to ignore some class completely? I'm getting cant find scalasig err

Hello, do anyone know where I could find the documentation ? The website looks down..

Anyone has any idea why my deserialization breaks when going from json4s 3.5.5 to 3.6.x?
I just use read[LearningPath](jsonString) in my constructor to deserialize and the LearningPath type is defined like this: http://scalikejdbc.org/documentation/one-to-x.html
stacktrace -> https://hastebin.com/naxadomano.scala

@jnatten

Correction: It breaks from 3.6.0 -> 3.6.1 ^

Hi I'm looking at what should be a simple example parsed Json. I'd like to navigate the AST to obtain a subvalue but am not following how to do that after looking at the LINQ style and XPath examples. Can someone elucidate me. E.G.

My JValue looks like

org.json4s.JValue = JObject(List((@context,JArray(List(JString(https://raw.githx,JString(https://api.weather.gov/ontology#)), (geo,JString(http://www.opengis.net/ontapi.weather.gov/ontology#))))))), (type,JString(Feature)), (geometry,JObject(List((typ, (coordinates,JArray(List(JDouble(-123.0102602), JDouble(48.5993352)))))), JObject(Li0288715), JDouble(48.6073768))), JArray(List(JDouble(-123.0224183), JDouble(48.5870264...

Then for example how can I get a flat easy to read list of reference "keys" to traverse maybe 1st level of the JObject ?

Colin Williams

@KE7CFN_twitter

I look at .values and it looks like

Map(@context -> List(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/geojson/geojson-ld/master/contexts/geojson-base.jsonld, Map(wx -> https://api.weather.gov/ontology#, geo -> http://www.opengis.net/ont/geosparql#, unit -> http://codes.wmo.int/common/unit/, @vocab -> https://api.weather.gov/ontology#)), type -> Feature, geometry -> Map(type -> GeometryCollection, geometries -> List(Map(type -> Point, coordinates -> List(-123.0102602, 48.5993352)), Map(type -> Polygon, coordinates -> List(List(List(-123.0288715, 48.6073768), List(-123.0224183, 48.5870264), List(-122.9916522, 48.5912913), List(-122.9980987, 48.6116418), List(-123.0288715, 48.6073768)))))), properties -> HashMap(periods -> List(HashMap(number -> 1, shortForecast -> Mostly Cloudy then Chance Light Rain, startTime ...

@KE7CFN_twitter

Well I've exposed my ignorance. I will fiddle with it more and see if I can get somewhere...

Colin Williams

@KE7CFN_twitter

Looks like I can extract the xpath elements but still I'm curious why the .values "Map" doesn't provide Map "methods"

Hi there - how do I convert a case class to JObject directly without handcoding jObject - So far I can only see parse(write(caseClassInstance).snakizeKeys.asInstanceOf[JObject] ... but that is a lot of work to get case class

Anirudh Vyas

@AnirudhVyas

by a lot of work I meant lot of I/O

Andriy Plokhotnyuk

@plokhotnyuk

@AnirudhVyas as w/a you can try jsoniter-scala. It derives a safe and efficient JSON codec for a whole nested data structure by a one-liner macro call like here.

Andy Czerwonka

@andyczerwonka

wondering if there is an established pattern for parsing an array of dynamic objects, e.g. List[Either[ThisType, ThatTYpe]]

{
  "stuff": [
    {
      "a": null,
      "b": "wombat",
      "c": [],
      "d": 7,
      "uids": {
        "id": "0cd1a7f8-cee0-4f54-9c6b-534c123f2ec6"
      }
    },
    {
      "file_links": [],
      "name": "Abstract Butter",
      "notes": "Shortening for making rich, buttery baked goods",
      "process": {
        "id": "b8f748cf-c313-4f2c-8e38-84d7701f9609",
        "scope": "id",
        "type": "link_by_uid"
      }
    }
  ]
}

I am answering my question - to do what I needed (transform a product type to JObject directly -> http://json4s.org/ use decompose)

@mnotti

Hi, wondering if there's an idiomatic/easy way to write a JObject to a file?

Anirudh Vyas

@AnirudhVyas

Unsure about file - but I have used jackson.Serialization.write before to transform to a string and then perhaps to a file, but if someone else knows of a cleaner way all ears 👂

G'day... is there a json4s build against dotty?

Sankarshan Mudkavi

@Sankarshan-Mudkavi

Hey guys, does json4s support parsing and extraction in an akka stream? It seems to be hanging on the first object every time. I'm using JSONframing to stream the json objects from a filestream

Hey guys, how to pop/remove value from json?

@AnirudhVyas

 val originalRequestWithoutRequestId = wc.originalRequest.removeField {
      case ("blah_field_name", _) => true
      case ("another_blah_field_name", _) => true
      case _                 => false
    }

Hi folks. How do I filter off objects from a json array?
For example:

  {
    "name": "John"
  },
  {
    "name": "Joseph"
  },
  {
    "name": "Peter"
  }
]

I'd like to filter off objects with names which are not starting with Jo:

  {
    "name": "John"
  },
  {
    "name": "Joseph"
  }
]

The result might be a String or JValue with json array inside.
Thanks.

Anirudh Vyas

@AnirudhVyas

JArray(List.empty).map {
      case JObject(values) => JObject(values.filter { case (fName, _) => fName.startsWith("Jo") })
    }

would something like this work?

Pavel Zorin

@pazone

Wow! Thanks. I'll try it

Is there a way to not error on

Exception in thread "main" org.json4s.package$MappingException: Do not know how to serialize key of type class my.custom.Type. Consider implementing a CustomKeySerializer.

, like a low-priority custom serializer that turns the error into a String in the emitted JSON or something?

Rohan Sircar

@rohan-sircar

Messed up the formatting. Reposting with correct formatting -

class MyJInstantSerializer
    extends CustomSerializer[Instant](format =>
      (
        {
          // case JInt(d) => Instant.ofEpochMilli(d.toLong)
          case JString(d) => Instant.parse(d)
          case JNull      => null
        }, {
          // case d: Instant => JInt(d.toEpochMilli)
          case d: Instant => JString(d.toString())
        }
      )
    )

Hi! Is this room still active? I was wondering if there are any plans to release 3.7.0 soon?

Andy Czerwonka

@andyczerwonka

I noticed that TypeHints trait method classFor changed it's signature. Can someone point me to the new API docs or release notes for this breaking change?

Thomas Järvstrand

@tjarvstrand

@andyczerwonka I'm not sure if there are any. If it helps, here's the PR: https://github.com/json4s/json4s/pull/732/files

Basically the type hint now needs to know a common parent class to be able disambiguate between hints with the same name
