A safe and elegant way to deal with Json data

🚚 A safe and elegant way to deal with Json data inspired by SwiftyJSON

What is it?

Safely interact with Json data by requiring the user to specify what type of data they want to extract.

Json json = Json.fromString(jsonString);

// Gets the data under `someKey`, if a string returns it otherwise return null
json['someKey'].string;
// Same but provides default empty string if `someKey` does not exists or is not a string
json['someKey'].stringValue;

// Same exists for all json types
json['someKey'].boolean;
json['someKey'].booleanValue; // Will try to coerce the data to bool and returns false if couldn't
json['someKey'].float;
json['someKey'].floatValue; // Will try to coerce the data to double and returns 0 if couldn't
json['someKey'].integer;
json['someKey'].integerValue; // Will try to coerce the data to int and returns 0 if couldn't

// List items and Map values are wrapped in Json instances, which enables chaining acces to them
json['alist'].list;
json['amap'].map;

// If any path element does not exist or is not subscriptable, it'll return null
json['you']['can']['chain']['them'].string;

// Returns a list of `int`, if any element of the list is not an `int`, returns null
json['listofint'].listOf<int>();
// Same with maps
json['amapofint'].mapOf<int>();

// If you provide a builder you can get a list or map of anything
json['list'].listOf<MyType>((value) => MyType(value));

// You can do the same for a single value
json['some'].ofType<MyType>((value) => MyType(value));
// For the `value` variant you must provide a default value
json['some'].ofTypeValue<MyType>(MyType(), (value) => MyType(value));

// If you want the unaltered data you can get it with `rawValue`
json['some'].rawValue;

// If you want list and map with unaltered values
json['list'].listObject;
json['map'].mapObject;

// If you get null, you can check if its the result of an illegal access
if (json['idontexists'].exception != null) {
    print('something went wrong');
}

JsonPayload

JsonPayload are Json instances you can modify. It'll try to enforce a json encodable payload.

JsonPayload payload = JsonPayload();

payload['newkey'] = 'somevalue';

paylaod['newkey'].string == 'someValue';
