quickly</p> + +SJSON is a Go package that provides a [very fast](#performance) and simple way to set a value in a json document. +For quickly retrieving json values check out [GJSON](https://github.com/tidwall/gjson). + +For a command line interface check out [JJ](https://github.com/tidwall/jj). + +Getting Started +=============== + +Installing +---------- + +To start using SJSON, install Go and run `go get`: + +```sh +$ go get -u github.com/tidwall/sjson +``` + +This will retrieve the library. + +Set a value +----------- +Set sets the value for the specified path. +A path is in dot syntax, such as "name.last" or "age". +This function expects that the json is well-formed and validated. +Invalid json will not panic, but it may return back unexpected results. +Invalid paths may return an error. + +```go +package main + +import "github.com/tidwall/sjson" + +const json = `{"name":{"first":"Janet","last":"Prichard"},"age":47}` + +func main() { + value, _ := sjson.Set(json, "name.last", "Anderson") + println(value) +} +``` + +This will print: + +```json +{"name":{"first":"Janet","last":"Anderson"},"age":47} +``` + +Path syntax +----------- + +A path is a series of keys separated by a dot. +The dot and colon characters can be escaped with ``\``. + +```json +{ + "name": {"first": "Tom", "last": "Anderson"}, + "age":37, + "children": ["Sara","Alex","Jack"], + "fav.movie": "Deer Hunter", + "friends": [ + {"first": "James", "last": "Murphy"}, + {"first": "Roger", "last": "Craig"} + ] +} +``` +``` +"name.last" >> "Anderson" +"age" >> 37 +"children.1" >> "Alex" +"friends.1.last" >> "Craig" +``` + +The `-1` key can be used to append a value to an existing array: + +``` +"children.-1" >> appends a new value to the end of the children array +``` + +Normally number keys are used to modify arrays, but it's possible to force a numeric object key by using the colon character: + +```json +{ + "users":{ + "2313":{"name":"Sara"}, + "7839":{"name":"Andy"} + } +} +``` + +A colon path would look like: + +``` +"users.:2313.name" >> "Sara" +``` + +Supported types +--------------- + +Pretty much any type is supported: + +```go +sjson.Set(`{"key":true}`, "key", nil) +sjson.Set(`{"key":true}`, "key", false) +sjson.Set(`{"key":true}`, "key", 1) +sjson.Set(`{"key":true}`, "key", 10.5) +sjson.Set(`{"key":true}`, "key", "hello") +sjson.Set(`{"key":true}`, "key", []string{"hello", "world"}) +sjson.Set(`{"key":true}`, "key", map[string]interface{}{"hello":"world"}) +``` + +When a type is not recognized, SJSON will fallback to the `encoding/json` Marshaller. + + +Examples +-------- + +Set a value from empty document: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Set("", "name", "Tom") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"name":"Tom"} +``` + +Set a nested value from empty document: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Set("", "name.last", "Anderson") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"name":{"last":"Anderson"}} +``` + +Set a new value: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Set(`{"name":{"last":"Anderson"}}`, "name.first", "Sara") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"name":{"first":"Sara","last":"Anderson"}} +``` + +Update an existing value: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Set(`{"name":{"last":"Anderson"}}`, "name.last", "Smith") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"name":{"last":"Smith"}} +``` + +Set a new array value: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Set(`{"friends":["Andy","Carol"]}`, "friends.2", "Sara") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"friends":["Andy","Carol","Sara"] +``` + +Append an array value by using the `-1` key in a path: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Set(`{"friends":["Andy","Carol"]}`, "friends.-1", "Sara") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"friends":["Andy","Carol","Sara"] +``` + +Append an array value that is past the end: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Set(`{"friends":["Andy","Carol"]}`, "friends.4", "Sara") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"friends":["Andy","Carol",null,null,"Sara"] +``` + +Delete a value: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Delete(`{"name":{"first":"Sara","last":"Anderson"}}`, "name.first") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"name":{"last":"Anderson"}} +``` + +Delete an array value: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Delete(`{"friends":["Andy","Carol"]}`, "friends.1") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"friends":["Andy"]} +``` + +Delete the last array value: +```go +value, _ := sjson.Delete(`{"friends":["Andy","Carol"]}`, "friends.-1") +println(value) + +// Output: +// {"friends":["Andy"]} +``` + +## Performance + +Benchmarks of SJSON alongside
