Method Detail

appendString

public static void appendString(Appendable a,
                                CharSequence cs,
                                boolean includeNonASCII)
                         throws IOException

Append a CharSequence to an Appendable in JSON quoted string form (applying JSON escaping rules). The characters above the ASCII range (0x20 to 0x7E) are output as Unicode escape sequences unless the includeNonASCII flag is set to true.

Parameters:

a - the Appendable

cs - the CharSequence

includeNonASCII - if true, output the characters above the ASCII range without escaping

Throws:

IOException - if thrown by the Appendable

outputString

public static void outputString(CharSequence cs,
                                boolean includeNonASCII,
                                IntConsumer consumer)

Output a CharSequence using an IntConsumer in JSON quoted string form (applying JSON escaping rules). The characters above the ASCII range (0x20 to 0x7E) are output as Unicode escape sequences unless the includeNonASCII flag is set to true.

Parameters:

cs - the CharSequence

includeNonASCII - if true, output the characters above the ASCII range without escaping

consumer - the IntConsumer

escapeString

public static String escapeString(CharSequence cs,
                                  boolean includeNonASCII)

Convert a CharSequence to a String in JSON quoted string form (applying JSON escaping rules). The characters above the ASCII range (0x20 to 0x7E) are output as Unicode escape sequences unless the includeNonASCII flag is set to true.

Parameters:

cs - the CharSequence

includeNonASCII - if true, output the characters above the ASCII range without escaping

Returns:

the converted string

escapeStringUnquoted

public static String escapeStringUnquoted(CharSequence cs,
                                          boolean includeNonASCII)

Convert a CharSequence to a String, applying JSON escaping rules with without enclosing quotes. The characters above the ASCII range (0x20 to 0x7E) are output as Unicode escape sequences unless the includeNonASCII flag is set to true. If there are no characters requiring conversion, the original string is returned unmodified.

Parameters:

cs - the CharSequence

includeNonASCII - if true, output the characters above the ASCII range without escaping

Returns:

the converted string

escapeStringUnquoted

public static String escapeStringUnquoted(CharSequence cs)

Convert a CharSequence to a String, applying JSON escaping rules with without enclosing quotes. If there are no characters requiring conversion, the original string is returned unmodified.

Parameters:

cs - the CharSequence

Returns:

the converted string

appendChar

public static void appendChar(Appendable a,
                              char ch,
                              boolean includeNonASCII)
                       throws IOException

Append a single character to an Appendable applying JSON escaping rules. The characters above the ASCII range (0x20 to 0x7E) are output as Unicode escape sequences unless the includeNonASCII flag is set to true.

Parameters:

a - the Appendable

ch - the character

includeNonASCII - if true, output the characters above the ASCII range without escaping

Throws:

IOException - if thrown by the Appendable

outputChar

public static void outputChar(char ch,
                              boolean includeNonASCII,
                              IntConsumer consumer)

Output a single character using an IntConsumer applying JSON escaping rules. The characters above the ASCII range (0x20 to 0x7E) are output as Unicode escape sequences unless the includeNonASCII flag is set to true.

Parameters:

ch - the character

includeNonASCII - if true, output the characters above the ASCII range without escaping

consumer - the IntConsumer

displayString

public static String displayString(String str,
                                   int maxChars)

Create a display form of a string, usually for error reporting. The string is constrained to a maximum number of characters, and if it exceeds that number the string is split and " ... " is inserted in the middle.

Parameters:

str - the string

maxChars - the maximum number of characters

Returns:

the display string

parseString

public static String parseString(net.pwall.text.TextMatcher tm)

Parse a JSON string from the current position of a TextMatcher (which must be positioned after the opening double quote). The index is left positioned after the closing double quote.

Parameters:

tm - a TextMatcher

Returns:

the JSON string

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if there are any errors in the JSON

isSpaceCharacter

public static boolean isSpaceCharacter(char ch)

Test whether a given character is a space, according to the JSON specification.

Parameters:

ch - the character

Returns:

true if the character is a space
