A mongo database can have multiple collection or tables. Data from multiple tables can be joined together and then just what the user asks for is returned. We also include fields that calculate values based on data from the database. The ca

It's worked out great for us. We use it as a flexible way to get exactly what is needed in a single request that ends up pulling data from a mongo database. It has not added any extra complexity. On the contrary it has simplified out b

Just tried [OjG]( https://github.com/ohler55/ojg ) and saw anywhere from zero to 20% faster on the various benchmarks. Nice improvement overall. Hats off to the golang maintainers.

It actually started with XML. At the time there were not any decent options so I wrote my own and then made it a C extension. JSON can next since XML worked out so well. Basically JSON parsers were slow and I thought I could do better. It s

The good old days. I remember getting one fo the first color machines and writing and dynamic orbital evaluator. What a great development environment.

One of the more discouraging aspects of being an OSS developer is that successful companies that use your software never consider contributing to the OSS developers. I suppose that is the nature of business though. Take what you can get.

Oj supports a config file as well. .oj-config.sen. -help-config will describe it in more detail.

Works fine. Give it a try.

All good. You were polite and friendly or at least I read it that way.

The title was meant to be fun. JSON format is a pretty light topic.

I think you will find the JSON object members are not ordered while JSON array members are ordered. Since the JSON object members are not ordered, changing the order for display purposes does not change the data in any material way.

Another post said something similar. An issue was added to add the feature. I think it is a good one to add.

I suppose that is possible to remove the colons but it is nice having the extra reminder that the left side of the colon is a key and the right a value. That could easily become lost if a new line is inserted after the key. SEN is new. Afte

Quite a variety of meanings. Some pretty funny.

Oj is actually pretty well known as a Ruby JSON parser. The OjG project is in the same family.

Pretty JSON is still just JSON. It should work with any JSON parser. Of course if it is being fed from one system to another there is no need to make the JSON anything other than compact one line JSON. Pretty is for human consumption.

I keep the `-p` (pretty) option as a single option. Not a convention at all. I toyed with 80x3 and 80:3 but ended up with 80.3. You are right though, it probably make sense to support two options as well to avoid the unusual convention. May

An issue has been added to the repo. It is on the list now. Great idea, thanks. https://github.com/ohler55/ojg/issues/35

SEN still uses quotes when necessary. For any sting that starts with a number, the sting is quoted. Note in the example the hex colors are in quotes since the `#` character is not valid unquoted token character.

jq is a nice tool. oj is similar in many ways but different in others. jq has it's own proprietary query language while oj uses JSON path. The output options are also different with some overlap. Maybe jq will get a pretty output optio

There are a lot of people who store JSON in NoSQL databases. After fetching a JSON records you generally view the JSON or you do as a developer. That is where the tool is handy as you get get something like a FHIR record on a single page in

Can you explain what you mean by "like named"? The sorting helps a lot but I'm always interested in additional features.
54.
by peterohler 6y ago
It is a stable sort since for almost every parser out there there can be no duplicate keys. It would be dangerous for an JSON parser to assume JSON object keys are in some specific order. It is certainly not something that can be counted on

Now that would be cool! :-)

Interesting idea. Solves the issue of trying to find data in JSON fairly well. I'm a bit biased but I like using the oj with a JSONPath extraction (-x option) to do something similar but with the power of JSONPath.

For even more flexibility in JSON format there is SEN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26237048 talks about making JSON look good and introduces SEN at the end with optional commas and quotes. It also allows comments a
