go-smile :)

A Golang implementation of the Jackson-Smile binary JSON data format.

What's supported

• Decoding is fully supported minus:

  • Big Decimals

• Encoding is not yet supported

Developing

Build, format and run all tests with:

make

Tests

Test cases can be found under test/testdata. Each test case has a .smile and equivalent .json file.

Any new pairs of files added to this directory will be automatically included in the test suite.

Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"log"

	"github.com/zencoder/go-smile/smile"
)

func main() {
	var smileFile = "test/testdata/unicode.smile"

	b, err := ioutil.ReadFile(smileFile)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Error reading Smile file:", smileFile)
	}

	j, err := smile.DecodeToJSON(b)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Error decoding Smile file:", smileFile)
	}

	fmt.Println(j)
}

$ go run main.go 
{"child":"Niño","child-jp":"子供","chilllllllllllllllllllllllld":"Niñññññññññññññññññññññññño"}

The following convenience method is also provided for decoding to a Go representation of the JSON:

obj, err := smile.DecodeToObject(b)
