不可不知的JSON处理库（cJSON）

ANSI C中的超轻量级JSON解析器

JSON（JavaScript对象表示法）是一种轻量级的数据交换格式。人类易于阅读和书写。机器很容易解析和生成。它基于JavaScript编程语言标准ECMA-262第三版（1999年12月）的子集 。JSON是一种完全独立于语言的文本格式，但是使用C语言家族（包括C，C ++，C＃，Java，JavaScript，Perl，Python等）的程序员熟悉的约定。这些属性使JSON成为理想的数据交换语言。

cJSON旨在成为您可以完成工作的最简单的解析器。它是资源只有一个C的头文件和C文件，所以方便移植。它可以为你各种需要的json字符串处理，包括打包、解析、修改、删除、添加等。在这里将一探究竟。

在这里将着重叙述json的打包和解析，更多处理玩法，见文章末尾链接。

开始cJSON

cJSON合并到您的项目

因为整个库只有一个C文件和一个头文件，所以您只需复制cJSON.h并复制cJSON.c到项目源并开始使用它。

cJSON用ANSI C（C89）编写，以便支持尽可能多的平台和编译器。

Cjson结构体

/* The cJSON structure: */
typedef struct cJSON
{
    struct cJSON *next;
    struct cJSON *prev;
    struct cJSON *child;
    int type;
    char *valuestring;
    int valueint;
    double valuedouble;
    char *string;
} cJSON;

结构体项解析：

next 和prev ：Cjson结构体作为一个双向连表的环，可以通过 next 和prev 指针进行连表遍历

child：可以是cJSON_Array、cJSON_Object类型数据

type：当前项的类型

valuestring：内容存储，当类型是cJSON_String和cJSON_Raw

valueint：内容存储，整型，可以是cJSON_False、cJSON_True数据

valuedouble：内容存储，浮点型，当类型是cJSON_Number

string：键名

数据类型

l  cJSON_Invalid表示一个不包含任何值的无效项目。如果将项目设置为全零字节，则将自动具有此类型。

l  cJSON_False表示一个false布尔值。您也可以使用来检查布尔值cJSON_IsBool

l  cJSON_True表示一个true布尔值。您也可以使用来检查布尔值cJSON_IsBool

l  cJSON_NULL表示一个null值

l  cJSON_Number 表示一个数字值。该值存储为double in valuedouble和in valueint。如果数字超出整数范围，INT_MAX或INT_MIN用于valueint

l  cJSON_String表示一个字符串值。它以零终止字符串的形式存储在中valuestring

l  cJSON_Array表示一个数组值。这是通过指向表示数组中值child的cJSON项目的链接列表来实现的。使用next和将元素链接在一起prev，其中第一个元素具有prev.next == NULL和最后一个元素next == NULL

l  cJSON_Object 表示一个对象值。对象的存储方式与数组相同，唯一的区别是对象中的项将其键存储在中string

l  cJSON_Raw表示以JSON字符存储的零终止形式的任何JSON valuestring。例如，可以使用它来避免一遍又一遍地打印相同的静态JSON以节省性能。解析时，cJSON永远不会创建此类型。另请注意，cJSON不会检查其是否为有效JSON。

类型

#define cJSON_Invalid (0)
#define cJSON_False  (1 << 0)
#define cJSON_True   (1 << 1)
#define cJSON_NULL   (1 << 2)
#define cJSON_Number (1 << 3)
#define cJSON_String (1 << 4)
#define cJSON_Array  (1 << 5)
#define cJSON_Object (1 << 6)
#define cJSON_Raw    (1 << 7) /* raw json */

类型判断

cJSON_IsInvalid(const cJSON * const item);
cJSON_IsFalse(const cJSON * const item);
cJSON_IsTrue(const cJSON * const item);
cJSON_IsBool(const cJSON * const item);
cJSON_IsNull(const cJSON * const item);
cJSON_IsNumber(const cJSON * const item);
cJSON_IsString(const cJSON * const item);
cJSON_IsArray(const cJSON * const item);
cJSON_IsObject(const cJSON * const item);
cJSON_IsRaw(const cJSON * const item);

注意

创建cjson对象后，处理完需要进行内存释放：

如果是cjson里的对象，请使用cJSON_Delete()

如果不是对象：cJSON_free()或free()

 

零字符

cJSON不支持包含零字符'\0'或的字符串\u0000。对于当前的API，这是不可能的，因为字符串以零结尾。

 

字符编码

cJSON仅支持UTF-8编码的输入。但是在大多数情况下，它不会拒绝无效的UTF-8作为输入，而只是将其原样传播。只要输入不包含无效的UTF-8，输出将始终是有效的UTF-8。

 

C标准

cJSON用ANSI C（或C89，C90）编写。如果您的编译器或C库未遵循此标准，则不能保证正确的行为。

 

注意：ANSI C不是C ++，因此不应使用C ++编译器进行编译。您可以使用C编译器对其进行编译，然后将其与C ++代码链接。尽管可以使用C ++编译器进行编译，但是不能保证正确的行为。

 

浮点数字

double除IEEE754双精度浮点数外，cJSON不正式支持任何实现。它可能仍然可以与其他实现一起使用，但是这些实现的错误将被视为无效。

 

目前，cJSON支持的浮点文字的最大长度为63个字符。

 

数组和对象的深层嵌套

cJSON不支持嵌套太深的数组和对象，因为这会导致堆栈溢出。为了防止这种CJSON_NESTING_LIMIT情况，默认情况下，cJSON将深度限制为1000，但是可以在编译时进行更改。

格式化输出

按标准的格式输出json字符串，输出完后一定要记得释放内存

 代码

#include <stdio.h>
#include "cJSON.h"
#include "cJSON.c"
void main(){
    //待解析字符串 
    char *json_str="{\"key1\":\"dongxiaodong\",\"key2\":1998,\"key3\":55778}";
    
    //输出原字符串
    printf("原字符串：%s\r\n",json_str); 

    //解析成json对象 
    cJSON * json_obj = cJSON_Parse(json_str); 

    //格式输出
    char *json_print_str=NULL;
    json_print_str=cJSON_Print(json_obj);
    printf("\r\n输出内容：\r\n\r\n%s\r\n",json_print_str);
    
    //释放资源 
    free(json_print_str);
    
    //释放资源 
    cJSON_Delete(json_obj);
}

json打包

cJSON_CreateObject函数可创建一个根数据项，在此之后就可以添加各种数据类型的子节点了，使用完成后需要通过cJSON_Delete()释放内存。

创建一层级的json

 代码：

#include <stdio.h>
#include "cJSON.h"
#include "cJSON.c"
void main(){
    cJSON *root_obj = NULL;//根，json对象 
    char *out_str = NULL; //输出结果 
    root_obj =cJSON_CreateObject();//创建 
     //添加一个字符串，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddStringToObject(root_obj, "key1", "dongxiaodong");
    //添加一个整型，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddNumberToObject(root_obj, "key2",1998);
    //添加一个浮点型，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddNumberToObject(root_obj, "key3",22.33);
    //添加一个bool类型，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    //bool值可以是0/1或false/true 
    cJSON_AddBoolToObject(root_obj, "key4",0);
    //将json对象打包成字符串 
    out_str = cJSON_PrintUnformatted(root_obj);
    //销毁json对象，释放内存 
    cJSON_Delete(root_obj); 
    //输出值：{"key1":"dongxiaodong","key2":1998,"key3":22.33,"key4":false} 
    printf("%s",out_str);
}

类型创建函数还有：

cJSON_AddNullToObject(cJSON * const object, const char * const name);

cJSON_AddTrueToObject(cJSON * const object, const char * const name);

cJSON_AddFalseToObject(cJSON * const object, const char * const name);

cJSON_AddBoolToObject(cJSON * const object, const char * const name, const cJSON_bool boolean);

cJSON_AddNumberToObject(cJSON * const object, const char * const name, const double number);

cJSON_AddStringToObject(cJSON * const object, const char * const name, const char * const string);

cJSON_AddRawToObject(cJSON * const object, const char * const name, const char * const raw);

cJSON_AddObjectToObject(cJSON * const object, const char * const name);

cJSON_AddArrayToObject(cJSON * const object, const char * const name);

创建多层级的json

 代码：

#include <stdio.h>
#include "cJSON.h"
#include "cJSON.c"
void main(){
    cJSON *root_obj = NULL;//根，json对象 
    cJSON *item_obj = NULL;//二级json对象 
    char *out_str = NULL; //输出结果 
    
    root_obj =cJSON_CreateObject();//创建 
     //添加一个字符串，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddStringToObject(root_obj, "key1", "dongxiaodong");
    //添加一个整型，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddNumberToObject(root_obj, "key2",1998);
    
    //创建一个子json对象
    item_obj= cJSON_AddObjectToObject(root_obj,"myson"); 
    //向孩子对象中添加内容
    cJSON_AddStringToObject(item_obj, "sonkey1", "东小东"); 
    cJSON_AddNumberToObject(item_obj, "sonkey2",2020);
      
    //将json对象打包成字符串 
    out_str = cJSON_PrintUnformatted(root_obj);
    //销毁json对象，释放内存 
    cJSON_Delete(root_obj); 
    //输出值：{"key1":"dongxiaodong","key2":1998,"myson":{"sonkey1":"东小东","sonkey2":2020}}
    printf("%s",out_str);
}

创建多层json(数组形式)

 

 代码

#include <stdio.h>
#include "cJSON.h"
#include "cJSON.c"
void main(){
    cJSON *root_obj = NULL;//根，json对象 
    cJSON *item_obj = NULL;//数组对象 
    char *out_str = NULL; //输出结果 
    
    root_obj =cJSON_CreateObject();//创建 
     //添加一个字符串，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddStringToObject(root_obj, "key1", "dongxiaodong");
    //添加一个整型，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddNumberToObject(root_obj, "key2",1998);
    
    //创建一个子数组对象 
    item_obj= cJSON_AddArrayToObject(root_obj,"myson"); 
    //向数组对象中添加内容
    cJSON_AddItemToArray(item_obj,cJSON_CreateTrue()); 
    cJSON_AddItemToArray(item_obj,cJSON_CreateNumber(22));
      
    //将json对象打包成字符串 
    out_str = cJSON_PrintUnformatted(root_obj);
    //销毁json对象，释放内存 
    cJSON_Delete(root_obj); 
    //输出值：{"key1":"dongxiaodong","key2":1998,"myson":[true,22]}
    printf("%s",out_str);
}

创建的对象还可以是下面这些

cJSON_CreateNull(void);

cJSON_CreateTrue(void);

cJSON_CreateFalse(void);

cJSON_CreateBool(cJSON_bool boolean);

cJSON_CreateNumber(double num);

cJSON_CreateString(const char *string);

cJSON_CreateRaw(const char *raw);

cJSON_CreateArray(void);

cJSON_CreateObject(void);

创建混合json

 代码

#include <stdio.h>
#include "cJSON.h"
#include "cJSON.c"
void main(){
    cJSON *root_obj = NULL;//根，json对象 
    cJSON *son_obj=NULL; 
    cJSON *item_obj = NULL;//数组对象 
    char *out_str = NULL; //输出结果 
    
    //根对象 
    root_obj =cJSON_CreateObject();//创建 
    //添加一个字符串，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddStringToObject(root_obj, "key1", "dongxiaodong");
    //添加一个整型，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddNumberToObject(root_obj, "key2",1998);
    
    //创建一个子数组对象 
    item_obj= cJSON_AddArrayToObject(root_obj,"myson"); 
    //向数组对象中添加内容
    cJSON_AddItemToArray(item_obj,cJSON_CreateTrue()); 
    cJSON_AddItemToArray(item_obj,cJSON_CreateNumber(22));
    
    //子对象 
    son_obj =cJSON_CreateObject();//创建 
    //添加一个字符串，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddStringToObject(son_obj, "son1", "dongxiaodong");
    //添加一个整型，参数（根对象，键，值） 
    cJSON_AddNumberToObject(son_obj, "son2",1998);
    cJSON_AddItemToArray(item_obj,son_obj);
    
    //将json对象打包成字符串 
    out_str = cJSON_PrintUnformatted(root_obj);
    //销毁json对象，释放内存 
    cJSON_Delete(root_obj); 
    //输出值：{"key1":"dongxiaodong","key2":1998,"myson":[true,22,{"son1":"dongxiaodong","son2":1998}]}
    printf("%s",out_str);
}
