inspired by ig-json-parser. it basically do the same thing as ig-json-parser. but...

the differences are:

• do not use annotations to generate the parsers. but use Scala raw value like:

  lazy val Tag = ObjectType("Tag", Seq(
    Field("value", "value", StringType),
    Field("category", "category", StringType)))

  • one small drawback is if you data is recursive, you need to link the recursive data outside a constructor

• more powerful

  • you can write converter code to convert between types, so basically you can have all your stuff, so basically you can inject any code you want when parsing:

  lazy val ApiTimeStringToDate = ConvertedType(StringType, JavaObjectType("java.util.Date"), "ApiTimeStringToDate", "DateToApiTimeString")

  • can also generate enum type and map types, if you are too lazy to write the converter code

• including a class JsonToSpec which can generate the spec from a folder of json samples. so you not even need to write the spec if you have a working backend. but most of time you will want to customize the result by editing the result spec

• it is dead simple

  • you should be able to use it from command line, or in any build tool you use
  • you can easily customize this thing. as the code is very short
