Utilities

Classes

AbstractMain	AbstractMain provides conveniences for writing the main routine of an app.
BoolArray	Optimized fixed size array of booleans packed into words of 32-bits.
CsvInStream	CsvInStream is used to read delimiter-separated values as specified by RFC 4180.
CsvOutStream	CsvOutStream is used to write delimiter-separated values as specified by RFC 4180.
FileLoc	FileLoc is a location within a text file or source string.
FileLogger	FileLogger appends Str log entries to a file.
FloatArray	Optimized fixed size array of 4 or 8 byte unboxed floats.
IntArray	Optimized fixed size array of 1, 2, 4, or 8 byte unboxed integers.
JsonInStream	JsonInStream reads objects from Javascript Object Notation (JSON).
JsonOutStream	JsonOutStream writes objects in Javascript Object Notation (JSON).
LockFile	LockFile is used to acquire an exclusive lock to prevent two different processes from using same files
Macro	Macro provides a way to replace macro expressions within a pattern using a pluggable implementation for the macro resolution.
PathEnv	PathEnv is a simple implementation of a Fantom environment which uses a search path to resolve files.
Random	Random provides different implementation of random number generators with more flexibility than the methods available in sys.

Arg	Facet for annotating an `AbstractMain` argument field.
Opt	Facet for annotating an `AbstractMain` option field.

JSON

The json APIs provide basic serialization between Fantom and Javascript Object Notation (JSON). Refer to json.org for more information about JSON.

Type Mapping

JSON types are mapped to Fantom types as follows:

JSON Fantom ------ -------- object Str:Obj? array Obj?[] string Str number Int or Float true Bool false Bool null null

In addition when writing Fantom objects the following is supported:

Simples are written as a JSON string

Serializables are written as JSON objects with each non-static, non-transient field being written as a key/val pair

Writing simples or serializables do not "roundtrip". For example if you write a Date it is written and will be read back as a normal string.

Writing Json

Writing is accomplised via JsonOutStream. To write to standard out:

map := ["key":"value", "intKey":123] JsonOutStream(Env.cur.out).writeJson(map)

You can also use the writeToStr as a convenience to write to an in-memory string.

Reading Json

Reading JSON is accomplised via JsonInStream which takes raw JSON from a stream and produces of the core JSON types. For example:

str := """{"k1":"v1", "k2":3.4159, "k3":[1,2,3], "k4": {"m1":true, "m2":null}}""" Str:Obj? data := JsonInStream(str.in).readJson data["k1"] => v1
