write method

Future<void> write(Object? value)

Encodes and writes an arbitrary JSON value, this is method should only be called when a value is expected.

Implementation

Future<void> write(Object? value) async {
  // We put the constant on the lhs of these comparisons so it doesn't invoke
  // operator overloads
  if (value is String ||
      value is num ||
      true == value ||
      false == value ||
      null == value) {
    await writeRawBuffer(_encodeValue(value));
  } else if (value is List) {
    await startList();
    for (final element in value) {
      await write(element);
    }
    await end();
  } else if (value is Map) {
    await startMap();
    for (final entry in value.entries) {
      Object? key = entry.key;
      if (key is! String) {
        key = await _reduce(key);
      }
      if (key is String) {
        await writeKey(key);
      } else if (key is Stream<String>) {
        await writeKeyStream(key);
      } else {
        throw ArgumentError(
          'Invalid map key ${key.runtimeType}, only Strings are '
          'allowed in JSON',
        );
      }
      await write(entry.value);
    }
    await end();
  } else if (value is Stream<String>) {
    return writeStringStream(value);
  } else if (value is Future) {
    return write(await value);
  } else if (value is Function) {

  } else {
    final Object? newValue = await (value as dynamic).toJson();
