Reading

read-json  stream &key camel-escape-char max-nest interactive-p
Function

Reads JSON from the stream stream, which must be a character input stream.

max-nest is the maximum nesting of objects and arrays allowed. It defaults to *json-max-nest*. When this nesting level is exceeded a json-parse-error is signaled.

The interactive-p parameter defaults to (stream-interactive-p stream).

If interactive-p is NIL, the stream is assumed to be non-interactive. It is then assumed and checked, that the stream contains exactly one JSON object followed by optional whitespace and end-of-file.

If interactive-p is non-NIL, the stream is assumed to be interactive. Then reading stops after one JSON element is parsed. The input directly following the JSON element is left for further reading. White space is preserved.

parse-json  string &key start end camel-escape-char max-nest interactive-p
Function

Parses JSON from the string string.

The max-nest parameter is as for read-json.

json-parse-error   
Condition
*json-max-nest*   
Special variable

The default for the :max-nest parameter to read-json and parse-json.

Writing

print-json  object stream
Function
