ToEnumerable

Enumerate over json elements.

Useful for fetching selected parts of the json

Path based enumeration

Rely on path convention:

json.ToEnumerable(/path convention/);

JSON:

{
 "friends": [
   {
     "name": "Yaron",    
     "id": 1
   },
   {
     "name": "Aviad",   
     "id": 2
   }
 ]
}

CODE:

var items = source.ToEnumerable("friends.[].name");

OR

var items = source.ToEnumerable("friends.*.name");

RESULT

["Yaron", "Aviad"]

CODE:

var items = source.ToEnumerable("");

OR

var items = source.ToEnumerable("");

RESULT

[

CODE:

var items = source.ToEnumerable("friends.[0].name");

RESULT

["Yaron"]

CODE:

var items = source.ToEnumerable("friends.[0].*");

OR

var items = source.ToEnumerable("");

RESULT

["Yaron",1]

See: YieldWhen_Path_Test in the source code

Yield with predicate

Yield element according to predicate and onMatch delegates.

JSON:

{
    "projects": [ {
        "key": "cloud-d",
        "duration": 8
    }, {
    "users": [{
        "rank": {
            "job": 10,
            "relationship": {
                "projects": [
                    { "key": "cloud-d", "team": 5 },
                    { "key": "cloud-x", "team": 32 }
                ]
            }
        },
    }]
}

Sample:

using static System.Text.Json.TraverseFlowInstruction;

var items = source.ToEnumerable((json, deep, breadcrumbs) =>
{
    if(breadcrumbs.Count < 4)
        return Drill;

    if (breadcrumbs[^4] == "relationship" &&
        breadcrumbs[^3] == "projects" &&
        breadcrumbs[^1] == "key")
    {
        //return Drill;
        return Yield;
    }

    return Drill;
});

// "cloud-d", "cloud-x"
var results = items.Select(m => m.GetString()).ToArray();

Filter

Reduce (or modify) the json

JSON:

{
  "A": 10,
  "B": [
    { "Val": 40 },
    { "Val": 20 },
    { "Factor": 20 }
  ],
  "C": [0, 25, 50, 100 ],
  "Note": "Re-shape json"
}

Sample:

JsonElement source = ..;
var target = source.Filter((e, _, _) =>
            e.ValueKind != JsonValueKind.Number || e.GetInt32() > 30 
            ? TraverseFlowWrite.Drill 
            : TraverseFlowWrite.Skip);

Will result in:

{
  "B": [ { "Val": 40 }],
  "C": [ 50, 100 ],
  "Note": "Re-shape json"
}

Keep

Path based Filter

JSON:

{
  "A": 10,
  "B": [
    { "Val": 40 },
    { "Val": 20 },
    { "Factor": 20 }
  ],
  "C": [0, 25, 50, 100 ],
  "Note": "Re-shape json"
}

Sample 1:

var target = source.Keep("B.*.val");

RESULT

{"B":[{"Val":40},{"Val":20}]}

Sample 2:

var target = source.Keep("B.[]");

RESULT

{"B":[{"Val":40},{"Val":20},{"Factor":20}]}

Sample 3:

var target = source.Keep("B.[].Factor");

RESULT

{"B":[{"Factor":20}]}

Sample 4:

var target = source.Keep("B.[1].val");

RESULT

{"B":[{"Val":20}]}

Remove

Remove elements from the json.

{
  "A": 10,
  "B": [
    { "Val": 40 },
    { "Val": 20 },
    { "Factor": 20 }
  ],
  "C": [0, 25, 50, 100 ],
  "Note": "Re-shape json"
}

Sample 1:

var target = source.Remove("");

RESULT

Sample 2:

var target = source.Remove("B.[]");

RESULT

{"A":10,"B":[],"C":[],"Note":"Re-shape json"}

Sample 3:

var target = source.Remove("B.*.val");

RESULT

{"A":10,"B":[{"Factor":20}],"C":[0,25,50,100],"Note":"Re-shape json"}

Sample 4:

var target = source.Remove("B.[1]");

RESULT

{"A":10,"B":[{"Val":40},{"Factor":20}],"C":[0,50,100],"Note":"Re-shape json"}

TryAddProperty

Try to add property if missing.

Sample 1

{ "A": 0, "B": 0 }

source.RootElement.TryAddProperty("C", 1);

Result in:

{ "A": 0, "B": 0, "C": 1 }

Sample 2

{ "A": 0, "B": 0, "C": 0 }

source.RootElement.TryAddProperty("C", 1);

Result in:

{ "A": 0, "B": 0, "C": 0 }

Sample 3

{ "A": 0, "B": 0, "C": null }

var source = JsonDocument.Parse(json);
source.RootElement.TryAddProperty("C", 1);

Result in:

{ "A": 0, "B": 0, "C": 1 }

Unless sets the options not to ignore null

Sample 3

Ignored null

var options = new JsonPropertyModificatonOpions
{
    IgnoreNull = false
};
var source = JsonDocument.Parse(json);
source.RootElement.TryAddProperty("C", 1);

Result in:

{ "A": 0, "B": 0, "C": null }

Sample 4

Changing property within a path

{
  "X": {
    "Y": {
    	"A": 0,
    	"B": 0
    }
  },
  "Y": { "Q": 2 }
}

source.RootElement.TryAddProperty("X.Y", "C", 1);

Result in:

{
  "X": {
      "Y": {
          "A": 0,
          "B": 0,  
          "C": 1
      }

Serialization

ToJson

Convert .NET object into JsonElement.

var entity = new Entity(12, new BEntity("Z"));
JsonElement json = entity.ToJson();

var arr = new []{ 1, 2, 3 };
JsonElement json = arr.ToJson();

AsString

Convert JsonElement to string

JsonElement json = ...;
string compact = json.AsString();
string indented = json.AsIndentString();
string raw = json.GetRawText(); // same as json.AsIndentString();

ToStream

Convert JsonElement to stream

var json = JsonDocument.Parse(JSON);
var srm = json.ToStream() as MemoryStream;
string result = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(srm.ToArray()) ;
