Installation: pkg> add Unmarshal
This package has currently only been tested with unmarshalling of JSON objects, but the intention is to in future also test it for working on other data formats.
import Unmarshal
using JSON
input = "{ \"bar\": { \"baz\": 17 }, \"foo\": 3.14 }"
struct Bar
baz::Int
end
struct Foo
bar::Bar
end
Unmarshal.unmarshal(Foo, JSON.parse(input))
# Foo(Bar(17))
jstring = JSON.json(ones(Float64, 3))
#"[1.0,1.0,1.0]"
Unmarshal.unmarshal(Array{Float64}, JSON.parse(jstring))
#3-element Array{Float64,1}:
# [ 1.0 ; 1.0 ; 1.0 ]using LazyJSON
#"[1.0,1.0,1.0]"
Unmarshal.unmarshal(Array{Float64}, JSON.parse(jstring))
#3-element Array{Float64,1}:
# [ 1.0 ; 1.0 ; 1.0 ]Unmarshal.unmarshal(MyType, parseOutput, verbose = false )Builds on object of type :MyType from the dictionary produced by JSON.parse or now also LazyJSON.parse. Set verbose to true to get debug information about the type hierarchy being unmarshalled. This might be useful in tracking down mismatches between the JSON object and the Julia type definition.
