问题
I'm a two-week old infant with regards to Erlang and Mochiweb. Earlier I had a system running on PHP and soon I realised that it wasn't going to be able to handle the kind of load I was expecting. So I decided to switch the backend to a Mochiweb based server. Right now I need to know how to implement JSON with Mochiweb. I'm fully aware of the existense of mochijson2 library, but being a beginner, I can't get around to figuring out how to use it. Could someone point me to some place where I can find examples of using this library or any other json library in erlang?
回答1:
The mochijson2 API essentially consists of just two functions, which (if you've downloaded mochiweb) can be used directly from the Erlang shell as follows:
erl -pa path/to/mochiweb/ebin
...
1> mochijson2:decode(<<"[1,2,3]">>).
[1,2,3]
2> iolist_to_binary(mochijson2:encode([1,2,3])).
<<"[1,2,3]">>
There are some test cases at the bottom of mochiweb/src/mochijson2.erl that might also be helpful in understanding the mapping between JSON terms and Erlang terms.
回答2:
Yeah, I had to spend a bunch of time in the source code to figure out what was going on. Actually, that describes a lot of my experience with Erlang. This has gotten me by, generating the JSON I need. Here's a quick example.
ERL :: {struct, [{strKey, <<"strVal">>}, {intKey, 10}, {arrayKey, [1, 2, 3]}]}
JSON :: {strKey:"strVal", intKey:10, arrayKey:[1, 2, 3]}
So in that example you can see how to make objects (which mochijson2 wants you to call structs), strings, integers and arrays. Good luck!

Here are the equivalent erlang commands in addition to @rik.the.vik's comment:
erl -pa path/to/mochiweb/ebin
...
iolist_to_binary(mochijson2:encode({struct, [{strKey, <<"strVal">>}, {intKey, 10}, {arrayKey, [1, 2, 3]}]})).
mochijson2:decode(<<"{\"strKey\":\"strVal\", \"intKey\":10, \"arrayKey\":[1, 2, 3]}">>).
