json_value_merge

Give an interface to merge two json_serde::Value together.

Installation

[dependencies]
json_value_merge = "2.0"

Usage

Merge two arrays:

extern crate json_value_merge;

use json_value_merge::Merge;
use serde_json::Value;

{
    let mut first_json_value: Value = serde_json::from_str(r#"["a","b"]"#).unwrap();
    let secound_json_value: Value = serde_json::from_str(r#"["b","c"]"#).unwrap();
    first_json_value.merge(&secound_json_value);
    assert_eq!(r#"["a","b","c"]"#, first_json_value.to_string());
}

Merge two objects:

extern crate json_value_merge;

use json_value_merge::Merge;
use serde_json::Value;

{
    let mut first_json_value: Value =
        serde_json::from_str(r#"[{"value":"a"},{"value":"b"}]"#).unwrap();
    let secound_json_value: Value =
        serde_json::from_str(r#"[{"value":"b"},{"value":"c"}]"#).unwrap();
    first_json_value.merge(&secound_json_value);
    assert_eq!(
        r#"[{"value":"a"},{"value":"b"},{"value":"b"},{"value":"c"}]"#,
        first_json_value.to_string()
    );
}

Merge two arrays in a specifique position:

extern crate json_value_merge;

use json_value_merge::Merge;
use serde_json::Value;

{
    let mut value_a: Value = serde_json::from_str(r#"{"my_array":[{"a":"t"}]}"#).unwrap();
    let value_b: Value = serde_json::from_str(r#"["b","c"]"#).unwrap();
    value_a.merge_in("/my_array", &value_b);
    assert_eq!(r#"{"my_array":[{"a":"t"},"b","c"]}"#, value_a.to_string());
}

Merge two objects in a specifique position:

extern crate json_value_merge;

use json_value_merge::Merge;
use serde_json::Value;

{
    let mut value_a: Value = serde_json::from_str(r#"{"my_array":[{"a":"t"}]}"#).unwrap();
    let value_b: Value = serde_json::from_str(r#"{"b":"c"}"#).unwrap();
    value_a.merge_in("/my_array/0", &value_b);
    assert_eq!(r#"{"my_array":[{"a":"t","b":"c"}]}"#, value_a.to_string());
}

Build new object:

extern crate json_value_merge;

use json_value_merge::Merge;
use serde_json::Value;

{
    let mut object: Value = Value::default();
    object.merge_in("/field", &Value::String("value".to_string()));
    object.merge_in("/object", &Value::Object(Map::default()));
    object.merge_in("/array/1", &Value::Object(Map::default()));
    object.merge_in("/array/2", &Value::Array(Vec::default()));
    object.merge_in("/array/*", &Value::String("wildcard".to_string()));
    object.merge_in("/root/*/item", &Value::String("my_item".to_string()));
    object.merge_in("///empty", &Value::Null);
    assert_eq!(r#"{"":{"":{"empty":null}},"array":[{},[],"wildcard"],"field":"value","object":{},"root":[{"item":"my_item"}]}"#, object.to_string());
}

Replace an array by an object:

extern crate json_value_merge;

use json_value_merge::Merge;
use serde_json::Value;

{
    let mut json_value: Value = serde_json::from_str(r#"[{"array1":[{"field":"value1"}]}]"#).unwrap();
    let result = json_value.merge_in("/other_field", &Value::String("value".to_string()));
    assert_eq!(r#"{"other_field":"value"}"#,json_value.to_string());
}
