JSON parsing and serialization

# What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a way to write data in Javascript.
Like XML it allows one to encode structured data in a text format that can be read by humans easily.
Its native compatibility with JavaScript and its simple syntax make it used widely.

Json data are encoded in a form of "key":"value".
Data types that can be encoded are JavaScript types :
boolean (`true` or `false`), number (`f64`), string, array, object, null.
An object is a series of string keys mapping to values, in `"key": value` format.
Arrays are enclosed in square brackets ([ ... ]) and objects in curly brackets ({ ... }).
A simple JSON document encoding a person, his/her age, address and phone numbers could look like:

```ignore
{
    "FirstName": "John",
    "LastName": "Doe",
    "Age": 43,
    "Address": {
        "Street": "Downing Street 10",
        "City": "London",
        "Country": "Great Britain"
    },
    "PhoneNumbers": [
        "+44 1234567",
        "+44 2345678"
    ]
}
```

# Rust Type-based Encoding and Decoding

Rust provides a mechanism for low boilerplate encoding & decoding
of values to and from JSON via the serialization API.
To be able to encode a piece of data, it must implement the `serialize::Encodable` trait.
To be able to decode a piece of data, it must implement the `serialize::Decodable` trait.
The Rust compiler provides an annotation to automatically generate
the code for these traits: `#[deriving(Decodable, Encodable)]`

To encode using Encodable :

```rust
use std::io;
use serialize::{json, Encodable};

 #[deriving(Encodable)]
 pub struct TestStruct   {
    data_str: ~str,
 }

fn main() {
    let to_encode_object = TestStruct{data_str:~"example of string to encode"};
    let mut m = io::MemWriter::new();
    {
        let mut encoder = json::Encoder::new(&mut m as &mut std::io::Writer);
        to_encode_object.encode(&mut encoder);
    }
}
```

Two wrapper functions are provided to encode a Encodable object
into a string (~str) or buffer (~[u8]): `str_encode(&m)` and `buffer_encode(&m)`.

```rust
use serialize::json;
let to_encode_object = ~"example of string to encode";
let encoded_str: ~str = json::Encoder::str_encode(&to_encode_object);
```

JSON API provide an enum `json::Json` and a trait `ToJson` to encode object.
The trait `ToJson` encode object into a container `json::Json` and the API provide writer
to encode them into a stream or a string ...

When using `ToJson` the `Encodable` trait implementation is not mandatory.

A basic `ToJson` example using a TreeMap of attribute name / attribute value:


```rust
extern crate collections;
extern crate serialize;

use serialize::json;
use serialize::json::ToJson;
use collections::TreeMap;

pub struct MyStruct  {
    attr1: u8,
    attr2: ~str,
}

impl ToJson for MyStruct {
    fn to_json( &self ) -> json::Json {
        let mut d = ~TreeMap::new();
        d.insert(~"attr1", self.attr1.to_json());
        d.insert(~"attr2", self.attr2.to_json());
        json::Object(d)
    }
}

fn main() {
    let test2: MyStruct = MyStruct {attr1: 1, attr2:~"test"};
    let tjson: json::Json = test2.to_json();
    let json_str: ~str = tjson.to_str();
}
```

To decode a JSON string using `Decodable` trait :

```rust
extern crate serialize;
use serialize::{json, Decodable};

#[deriving(Decodable)]
pub struct MyStruct  {
     attr1: u8,
     attr2: ~str,
}

fn main() {
    let json_str_to_decode: ~str =
            ~"{\"attr1\":1,\"attr2\":\"toto\"}";
    let json_object = json::from_str(json_str_to_decode);
    let mut decoder = json::Decoder::new(json_object.unwrap());
    let decoded_object: MyStruct = Decodable::decode(&mut decoder); // create the final object
}
```

# Examples of use

## Using Autoserialization

Create a struct called TestStruct1 and serialize and deserialize it to and from JSON
using the serialization API, using the derived serialization code.

```rust
extern crate serialize;
use serialize::{json, Encodable, Decodable};

 #[deriving(Decodable, Encodable)] //generate Decodable, Encodable impl.
 pub struct TestStruct1  {
    data_int: u8,
    data_str: ~str,
    data_vector: ~[u8],
 }

// To serialize use the `json::str_encode` to encode an object in a string.
// It calls the generated `Encodable` impl.
fn main() {
    let to_encode_object = TestStruct1
         {data_int: 1, data_str:~"toto", data_vector:~[2,3,4,5]};
    let encoded_str: ~str = json::Encoder::str_encode(&to_encode_object);

    // To deserialize use the `json::from_str` and `json::Decoder`

    let json_object = json::from_str(encoded_str);
    let mut decoder = json::Decoder::new(json_object.unwrap());
    let decoded1: TestStruct1 = Decodable::decode(&mut decoder); // create the final object
}
```

## Using `ToJson`

This example use the ToJson impl to deserialize the JSON string.
Example of `ToJson` trait implementation for TestStruct1.

```rust
extern crate serialize;
extern crate collections;

use serialize::json::ToJson;
use serialize::{json, Encodable, Decodable};
use collections::TreeMap;

#[deriving(Decodable, Encodable)] // generate Decodable, Encodable impl.
pub struct TestStruct1  {
    data_int: u8,
    data_str: ~str,
    data_vector: ~[u8],
}

impl ToJson for TestStruct1 {
    fn to_json( &self ) -> json::Json {
        let mut d = ~TreeMap::new();
        d.insert(~"data_int", self.data_int.to_json());
        d.insert(~"data_str", self.data_str.to_json());
        d.insert(~"data_vector", self.data_vector.to_json());
        json::Object(d)
    }
}

fn main() {
    // Serialization using our impl of to_json

    let test2: TestStruct1 = TestStruct1 {data_int: 1, data_str:~"toto", data_vector:~[2,3,4,5]};
    let tjson: json::Json = test2.to_json();
    let json_str: ~str = tjson.to_str();

    // Deserialize like before.

    let mut decoder = json::Decoder::new(json::from_str(json_str).unwrap());
    // create the final object
    let decoded2: TestStruct1 = Decodable::decode(&mut decoder);
}
```
