what is Jsonable?

if you are interested in Jsoable with reflect read here

Jsonable is a library that deals with offering a simple way to manage dart classes fromJson and toJson, allowing the transpiration from dart to json. One of the main objectives and the philosophy of Jsoanble, is to remove the generated code making any object convertible into Json.

In the first version of Jsonable reflection was used, but this is not supported in the AOT compiler of dart.

Jsonable does not use reflection or even generated code.

how to use?

Jsonable makes available a mixin mixin Jsonable within this mixin is the management of the Json scheme. only by extending our class with the mixin, the class gets the necessary methods, but if we don't indicate the members of json, using "toJson" or "toMap" will be an empty Map / string. ({})

let's see an example:

import "package:jsonable/jsonable.dart";

class Person with Jsonable {
 JString name;
 JString surname;
  Person({String name, String surname}) {
    this.name = this.jString("name", initialValue: name);
    this.surname = this.jString("surname", initialValue: surname);
  }
}

main() {
  var p = Person(name: "Nico", surname: "Spina");
  print(p.toJson());
  // output: {"name":"Nico","surname":"Spina"}
}

Jsonable implements different types to represent the whole Json structure:

• JString
• JNum
• JBool
• JClass<E extends Jsonable>
• JList<E>
• JDynamic *experimental
• JMap *experimental

Jsonable records these types and serializes and deserializes the structure based on these types

The functions provided by Jsonable:

• JClass<E> jClass<E extends Jsonable>(keyname, JsonableConstructor constructor, {E initialValue})

  It returns aJClass is JType<Jsonable> in the generic of this type, extends Jsonable, moreover it requires the constructor a simple function that returns an instance of that type. Note: it will be instantiated immediately to the declaration if InitialValue is null

• JList<E> jList<E>(dynamic keyname, {List<E> initialValue, JsonableConstructor constructor})

aJList represents a List that can contain any value, you can iterate overJList and you don't need to access the value via ".value", in this type the constructor parameter becomes mandatory if you are using a Jsonable as generic are not allowed types of data other than: bool, string, num, int, double, map, list,

• JString jString(dynamic keyname, {String initialValue})

  Return a JType <String> then manage a String type in the schema with fromJson will assign the value only if it is a String, in toJson it will assign a String, you can assign only String values via ".value"

• JCool jBool(dynamic keyname, {bool initialValue})

  Return a JType <bool> then manage a bool type in the schema with fromJson will assign the value only if it is a bool, in toJson it will assign a bool, you can assign only bool values via ".value"

• JNum jNum(dynamic keyname, {num initialValue})

  Return a JType <num> then manage a num type in the schema with fromJson will assign the value only if it is a num, in toJson it will assign a num, you can assign only num values via ".value"

• JMap jMap(dynamic keyname, {Map initialValue})

  Return a JType <Map<E,R>> then manage a Map<E,R> type in the schema with fromJson will assign the value only if it is a Map<E,R>, in toJson it will assign a Map<E,R>, you can assign only Map<E,R> values via ".value"

• JDynamic jDynamic(dynamic keyname, {dynamic initialValue})

  Return a JType <dynamic> then manage a dynamic type in the schema with fromJson will assign the value only if it is a dynamic, in toJson it will assign a dynamic, you can assign only dynamic values via ".value"

• dynamic jOnce(keyname, Jsonable value) *experimental

  jOnce Returns the same value that passes in the value, the value you pass:

  it is inserted inside the Json schema, in a JClass that is not instantiated, further.

  This function is very useful when you are in a context like Flutter,

  where objects are called only in the widget build.

  Jonce returns your widget, without compromising it as long as the widget uses Jsonable

Performance

in this second release I had particular attention to performance: Jsonable is less than 50% slower than native (generated). This test has not yet been made a benchmark with written tests. Tests were made by timing, the result was:

Note: I used dartVm not AOT

Conclusion

If you want you can support the development by offering me a beer: paypal

If you can't buy beer, you can always leave me a star on github.

thanks!
