;;; Commentary:

;; This is a library for parsing and generating JSON (JavaScript Object
;; Notation).

;; Learn all about JSON here: <URL:http://json.org/>.

;; The user-serviceable entry points for the parser are the functions
;; `json-read' and `json-read-from-string'. The encoder has a single
;; entry point, `json-encode'.

;; Since there are several natural representations of key-value pair
;; mappings in elisp (alist, plist, hash-table), `json-read' allows you
;; to specify which you'd prefer (see `json-object-type' and
;; `json-array-type').

;; Similarly, since `false' and `null' are distinct in JSON, you can
;; distinguish them by binding `json-false' and `json-null' as desired.

;;; History:

;; 2006-03-11 - Initial version.
;; 2006-03-13 - Added JSON generation in addition to parsing. Various
;;              other cleanups, bugfixes, and improvements.
;; 2006-12-29 - XEmacs support, from Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net>.
;; 2008-02-21 - Installed in GNU Emacs.
;; 2011-10-17 - Patch `json-alist-p' and `json-plist-p' to avoid recursion -tzz
;; 2012-10-25 - Added pretty-printed reformatting -Ryan Crum (ryan@ryancrum.org)
;; 2019-02-02 - Pretty-printing now uses replace-region-contents and support for
;;              minimization -tsdh

;; Parameters

(defvar json-object-type 'alist
  "Type to convert JSON objects to.
Must be one of `alist', `plist', or `hash-table'.  Consider let-binding
this around your call to `json-read' instead of `setq'ing it.  Ordering
is maintained for `alist' and `plist', but not for `hash-table'.")

(defvar json-array-type 'vector
  "Type to convert JSON arrays to.
Must be one of `vector' or `list'.  Consider let-binding this around
your call to `json-read' instead of `setq'ing it.")

(defvar json-key-type nil
  "Type to convert JSON keys to.
Must be one of `string', `symbol', `keyword', or nil.

If nil, `json-read' will guess the type based on the value of
`json-object-type':

    If `json-object-type' is:   nil will be interpreted as:
      `hash-table'                `string'
      `alist'                     `symbol'
      `plist'                     `keyword'

Note that values other than `string' might behave strangely for
Sufficiently Weird keys.  Consider let-binding this around your call to
`json-read' instead of `setq'ing it.")

(defvar json-false :json-false
  "Value to use when reading JSON `false'.
If this has the same value as `json-null', you might not be able to tell
the difference between `false' and `null'.  Consider let-binding this
around your call to `json-read' instead of `setq'ing it.")

(defvar json-null nil
  "Value to use when reading JSON `null'.
If this has the same value as `json-false', you might not be able to
tell the difference between `false' and `null'.  Consider let-binding
this around your call to `json-read' instead of `setq'ing it.")

(defvar json-encoding-separator ","
  "Value to use as an element separator when encoding.")

(defvar json-encoding-default-indentation "  "
  "The default indentation level for encoding.
Used only when `json-encoding-pretty-print' is non-nil.")

(defvar json--encoding-current-indentation "\n"
  "Internally used to keep track of the current indentation level of encoding.
Used only when `json-encoding-pretty-print' is non-nil.")

(defvar json-encoding-pretty-print nil

(defvar json-encoding-lisp-style-closings nil
  "If non-nil, ] and } closings will be formatted lisp-style,
without indentation.")

(defvar json-encoding-object-sort-predicate nil
  "Sorting predicate for JSON object keys during encoding.
If nil, no sorting is performed.  Else, JSON object keys are
ordered by the specified sort predicate during encoding.  For
instance, setting this to `string<' will have JSON object keys
ordered alphabetically.")

(defvar json-pre-element-read-function nil
  "Function called (if non-nil) by `json-read-array' and
`json-read-object' right before reading a JSON array or object,
respectively.  The function is called with one argument, which is
the current JSON key.")

(defvar json-post-element-read-function nil
