NSNJSON Driver

NSNJSON - Not So Normal JSON

Why?

Have you ever think about JSON with only 4 types: number, string, array, object? :)

What if your programming language or some another ecosystem doesn't support null or true/false as a types or a special values?

If it is your case then NSNJSON comes to help you! :)

The NSNJSON operates only 4 types - number, string, array, object!

Also, it defines types mapping table:

JSON type	null	number	string	true	false	array	object
NSNJSON type	0	1	2	3	3	4	5

How?

For every JSON type NSNJSON defines special presentation which is absolutely valid JSON.

NSNJSON presentation is always JSON object.

Such object always contains field "t" (which means type of source JSON type).

Also, for all JSON types except null the object always contains field "v" (which means value of source JSON type).

JSON object field has a name. So, NSNJSON saves this information in field "n" (which means name of field JSON object).

Examples?

null

// json
null

// nsnjson
{ "t": 0 }

number

// json
1007

// nsnjson
{ "t": 1, "v": 1007 }

string

// json
"Hello"

// nsnjson
{ "t": 2, "v": "Hello" }

boolean / true

// json
true

// nsnjson
{ "t": 3, "v": 1 }

boolean / false

// json
true

// nsnjson
{ "t": 3, "v": 0 }

array

// json
[null, true, false]

// nsnjson
{
  "t": 4,
  "v": [
    {
      "t": 0
    },
    {
      "t": 3,
      "v": 1
    },
    {
      "t": 3,
      "v": 0
    }
  ]
}

object

// json
{
  "null_field": null,
  "true_field": true,
  "false_field": false
}

// nsnjson
{
  "t": 5,
  "v": [
    {
      "n": "null_field",
      "t": 0
    },
    {
      "n": "true_field",
      "t": 3,
      "v": 1
    },
    {
      "n": "false_field",
      "t": 3,
      "v": 0
    }
  ]
}
