JsonInference

Given a bunch of JSON documents that are assumed to be similar, collects info about common structure. This can be useful for getting a top-level overview of a document datastore.

Example

Run a report by feeding in JSON hashes, like so:

report = JsonInference.new_report
huge_json['docs'].each do |doc|
  report << doc
end
puts report.to_s

This will output a report that looks like this:

JsonInference report: 21 documents
:root > ._id: 21/21 (100.00%)
  String: 100.00%, 0.00% empty

:root > ._rev: 21/21 (100.00%)
  String: 100.00%, 0.00% empty

:root > .author_id: 14/21 (66.67%)
  Fixnum: 100.00%

:root > .sections: 21/21 (100.00%)
  Array: 100.00%, 0.00% empty
  :root > .sections:nth-child(): 50 children
    Hash: 100.00%
    :root > .sections:nth-child() > .title: 50/50 (100.00%)
      String: 100.00%, 0.00% empty
    :root > .sections:nth-child() > .subhead: 50/50 (100.00%)
      String: 100.00%, 2.00% empty
    :root > .sections:nth-child() > .body: 50/50 (100.00%)
      String: 100.00%, 0.00% empty
    :root > .sections:nth-child() > .permalink: 46/50 (92.00%)
      String: 100.00%, 15.22% empty
