kotlinx_dart_converter 1.0.1

A json converter for Kotlinx to Dart

KotlinxDartConverter

What?

A package for converting from the Kotlin library Kotlinx JSON format (which supports polymorphism), to the Dart library built_value.

Why?

Kotlinx has a different representation of objects than standard JSON, and is incompatible with the most robust serialization library for Dart which also supports polymorphism (built_value).

Example can be found under example/mubs_example.dart

Given the MUBS study protocol example:

{
  "ownerId": "9c3aff68-b7f0-491a-9f1a-e2ca88bf01cf",
  "name": "MUBS",
  "masterDevices": [
    [
      "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.devices.Smartphone",
      {"isMasterDevice": true, "roleName": "Patient phone"}
    ]
  ],
  "connectedDevices": [],
  "connections": [],
  "tasks": [
    [
      "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.tasks.IndefiniteTask",
      {
        "name": "Start measures",
        "measures": [
          [
            "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.tasks.measures.GpsMeasure",
            {
              "type": [
                "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.data.GpsDataType",
                {"category": "Location"}
              ]
            }
          ],
          [
            "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.tasks.measures.StepCountMeasure",
            {
              "type": [
                "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.data.StepCountDataType",
                {"category": "Movement"}
              ]
            }
          ]
        ]
      }
    ]
  ],
  "triggers": [
    "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.triggers.TriggerWithId",
    {
      "id": 0,
      "trigger": [
        "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.triggers.StartOfStudyTrigger",
        {
          "sourceDeviceRoleName": "Patient phone",
          "requiresMasterDevice": true
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "triggeredTasks": [
    "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.triggers.TriggeredTask",
    {
      "triggerId": 0,
      "taskName": "Start measures",
      "targetDeviceRoleName": "Patient phone"
    }
  ]
}

The converter will output the following JSON (when encoded as a string):

{
  "ownerId": "9c3aff68-b7f0-491a-9f1a-e2ca88bf01cf",
  "name": "MUBS",
  "masterDevices": [
    {
      "$": "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.devices.Smartphone",
      "isMasterDevice": true,
      "roleName": "Patient phone"
    }
  ],
  "connectedDevices": [],
  "connections": [],
  "tasks": [
    {
      "$": "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.tasks.IndefiniteTask",
      "name": "Start measures",
      "measures": [
        {
          "$": "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.tasks.measures.GpsMeasure",
          "type": [
            {
              "$": "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.data.GpsDataType",
              "category": "Location"
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          "$":
            "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.tasks.measures.StepCountMeasure",
          "type": [
            {
              "$": "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.data.StepCountDataType",
              "category": "Movement"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "triggers": [
    {
      "$": "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.triggers.TriggerWithId",
      "id": 0,
      "trigger": [
        {
          "$": "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.triggers.StartOfStudyTrigger",
          "sourceDeviceRoleName": "Patient phone",
          "requiresMasterDevice": true
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "triggeredTasks": [
    {
      "$": "dk.cachet.carp.protocols.domain.triggers.TriggeredTask",
      "triggerId": 0,
      "taskName": "Start measures",
      "targetDeviceRoleName": "Patient phone"
    }
  ]
}
