Description

JsonArray is the representation of the array type inside JSON. It contains JsonNode elements, which may contain fundamental types, other arrays or objects.

Since arrays can be expensive, they are reference counted. You can control the lifetime of a JsonArray using json_array_ref() and json_array_unref().

To append an element, use json_array_add_element(). To extract an element at a given index, use json_array_get_element(). To retrieve the entire array in list form, use json_array_get_elements(). To retrieve the length of the array, use json_array_get_length().

Functions

json_array_new ()

JsonArray *
json_array_new (void);

Creates a new JsonArray.

[constructor]

Returns

the newly created JsonArray.

[transfer full]


json_array_sized_new ()

JsonArray *
json_array_sized_new (guint n_elements);

Creates a new JsonArray with n_elements slots already allocated.

[constructor]

Parameters

n_elements

number of slots to pre-allocate

 

Returns

the newly created JsonArray.

[transfer full]


json_array_ref ()

JsonArray *
json_array_ref (JsonArray *array);

Increase by one the reference count of a JsonArray.

Parameters

array

a JsonArray

 

Returns

the passed JsonArray, with the reference count increased by one.

[transfer none]


json_array_unref ()

void
json_array_unref (JsonArray *array);

Decreases by one the reference count of a JsonArray. If the reference count reaches zero, the array is destroyed and all its allocated resources are freed.

Parameters

array

a JsonArray

 

json_array_seal ()

void
json_array_seal (JsonArray *array);

Seals the JsonArray, making it immutable to further changes. This will recursively seal all elements in the array too.

If the array is already immutable, this is a no-op.

Parameters

array

a JsonArray

 

Since: 1.2


json_array_is_immutable ()

gboolean
json_array_is_immutable (JsonArray *array);

Check whether the given array has been marked as immutable by calling json_array_seal() on it.

Parameters

array

a JsonArray

 

Returns

TRUE if the array is immutable

Since: 1.2


json_array_hash ()

guint
json_array_hash (gconstpointer key);

Calculate a hash value for the given key (a JsonArray).

The hash is calculated over the array and all its elements, recursively. If the array is immutable, this is a fast operation; otherwise, it scales proportionally with the length of the array.

Parameters

key

a JSON array to hash.

[type JsonArray]

Returns

hash value for key

Since: 1.2


json_array_equal ()

gboolean
json_array_equal (gconstpointer a,
                  gconstpointer b);

Check whether a and b are equal JsonArrays, meaning they have the same number of elements, and the values of elements in corresponding positions are equal.

Parameters

a

a JSON array.

[type JsonArray]

b

another JSON array.

[type JsonArray]

Returns

TRUE if a and b are equal; FALSE otherwise

Since: 1.2


json_array_add_element ()

void
json_array_add_element (JsonArray *array,
                        JsonNode *node);

Appends node inside array . The array will take ownership of the JsonNode.

Parameters

array

a JsonArray

 

node

a JsonNode.

[transfer full]

json_array_get_element ()

JsonNode *
json_array_get_element (JsonArray *array,
                        guint index_);

Retrieves the JsonNode containing the value of the element at index_ inside a JsonArray.

Parameters

array

a JsonArray

 

index_

the index of the element to retrieve

 

Returns

a pointer to the JsonNode at the requested index.

[transfer none]


json_array_dup_element ()

JsonNode *
json_array_dup_element (JsonArray *array,
                        guint index_);

Retrieves a copy of the JsonNode containing the value of the element at index_ inside a JsonArray

Parameters

array

a JsonArray

 

index_

the index of the element to retrieve

 

Returns

a copy of the JsonNode at the requested index. Use json_node_unref() when done.

[transfer full]

Since: 0.6


json_array_get_elements ()

GList *
json_array_get_elements (JsonArray *array);

Gets the elements of a JsonArray as a list of JsonNode instances.

Parameters

array

a JsonArray

 

Returns

a GList containing the elements of the array. The contents of the list are owned by the array and should never be modified or freed. Use g_list_free() on the returned list when done using it.
