inspired by ig-json-parser. it basically do the same thing as ig-json-parser. but...
the differences are:
-
do not use annotations to generate the parsers. but use Scala raw value like:
lazy val Tag = ObjectType("Tag", Seq( Field("value", "value", StringType), Field("category", "category", StringType)))
- one small drawback is if you data is recursive, you need to link the recursive data outside a constructor
-
more powerful
- you can write converter code to convert between types, so basically you can have all your stuff, so basically you can inject any code you want when parsing:
lazy val ApiTimeStringToDate = ConvertedType(StringType, JavaObjectType("java.util.Date"), "ApiTimeStringToDate", "DateToApiTimeString")
- can also generate enum type and map types, if you are too lazy to write the converter code
-
including a class
JsonToSpecwhich can generate the spec from a folder of json samples. so you not even need to write the spec if you have a working backend. but most of time you will want to customize the result by editing the result spec -
it is dead simple
- you should be able to use it from command line, or in any build tool you use
- you can easily customize this thing. as the code is very short
