JSON

JSON format (application/json).

JSON is Stof's closest relative format. The Stof parser accepts JSON field & object syntax (most JSON files can be considered Stof).

Stof, unlike JSON, is not limited to just fields of data, however. Because of this, the JSON format implementation is a lossy export, but captures everything on import.

Take a look at Imports and Exports if you haven't already.

{
    "message": "hello, world",
    "person": {
        "name": "Bob Smith",
        "age": 42
    }
}

import "./test.json"; // uses "json" format

#[main]
fn main() {
    assert_eq(self.message, "hello, world");
    assert_eq(self.person.name, "Bob Smith");
    assert_eq(self.person.age, 42);
    
    const json = stringify("json", self); // string export (fields only)
    assert_eq(json, '{"message":"hello, world","person":{"name":"Bob Smith","age":42}}');
}
