# JSON

#### object JSON extends Parser

This object provides a simple interface to the JSON parser class. The default conversion for numerics is into a double. If you wish to override this behavior at the global level, you can set the globalNumberParser property to your own (String => Any) function. If you only want to override at the per-thread level then you can set the perThreadNumberParser property to your function. For example:

    val myConversionFunc = {input : String => BigDecimal(input)}

    // Global override
    JSON.globalNumberParser = myConversionFunc

    // Per-thread override
    JSON.perThreadNumberParser = myConversionFunc

   The parser that matches an element in the domain of the partial function `f`.

   The parser that matches an element in the domain of the partial function `f`.

   If `f` is defined on the first element in the input, `f` is applied to it to produce this parser's result.

   Example: The parser `accept("name", {case Identifier(n) => Name(n)})` accepts an `Identifier(n)` and returns a `Name(n)`

     a description of the kind of element this parser expects (for error messages)

11. #### implicit def accept(e: Elem): Parser[Elem]

    A parser that matches only the given element `e`.

    A parser that matches only the given element `e`.

    The method is implicit so that elements can automatically be lifted to their parsers. For example, when parsing `Token`s, `Identifier("new")` (which is a `Token`) can be used directly, instead of first creating a `Parser` using `accept(Identifier("new"))`.

    e

      the `Elem` that must be the next piece of input for the returned parser to succeed

    returns

      a `tParser` that succeeds if `e` is the next available input.

    If `f` is defined on the first element in the input, `f` is applied to it to produce this parser's result.

    expected

      a description of the kind of element this parser expects (for error messages)

    f

15. #### final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

    Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

    Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression `1.asInstanceOf[String]` will throw a `ClassCastException` at runtime, while the expression `List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]]` will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

    returns

      the receiver object.

24. #### final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    The `eq` method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of `AnyRef`, and has three additional properties:

    - It is consistent: for any non-null instances `x` and `y` of type `AnyRef`, multiple invocations of `x.eq(y)` consistently returns `true` or consistently returns `false`.
    - For any non-null instance `x` of type `AnyRef`, `x.eq(null)` and `null.eq(x)` returns `false`.
    - `null.eq(null)` returns `true`.

    When overriding the `equals` or `hashCode` methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (`o1 eq o2`), they should be equal to each other (`o1 == o2`) and they should hash to the same value (`o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode`).

    returns

      `true` if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; `false` otherwise.

    A parser generator for non-empty repetitions.

    A parser generator for non-empty repetitions.

    `rep1(f, p)` first uses `f` (which must succeed) and then repeatedly uses `p` to parse the input until `p` fails (the result is a `List` of the consecutive results of `f` and `p`)

    first

      a `Parser` that parses the first piece of input

    p0

      a `Parser` that is to be applied successively to the rest of the input (if any) -- evaluated at most once, and only when necessary

    returns

      A parser that returns a list of results produced by first applying `f` and then repeatedly `p` to the input (it only succeeds if `f` matches).

      (Changed in version 2.9.0) The `p0` call-by-name arguments is evaluated at most once per constructed Parser object, instead of on every need that arises during parsing.

66. #### def rep1[T](p: ⇒ Parser[T]): Parser[List[T]]

    A parser generator for non-empty repetitions.

    A parser generator for non-empty repetitions.

    `rep1(p)` repeatedly uses `p` to parse the input until `p` fails -- `p` must succeed at least once (the result is a `List` of the consecutive results of `p`)

    p

      a `Parser` that is to be applied successively to the input

    returns

      A parser that returns a list of results produced by repeatedly applying `p` to the input (and that only succeeds if `p` matches at least once).

67. #### def rep1sep[T](p: ⇒ Parser[T], q: ⇒ Parser[Any]): Parser[List[T]]

    A parser generator for non-empty repetitions.

    A parser generator for non-empty repetitions.

    `rep1sep(p, q)` repeatedly applies `p` interleaved with `q` to parse the input, until `p` fails. The parser `p` must succeed at least once.

    p

      a `Parser` that is to be applied successively to the input

    q

      a `Parser` that parses the elements that separate the elements parsed by `p` (interleaved with `q`)

    returns

      A parser that returns a list of results produced by repeatedly applying `p` to the input (and that only succeeds if `p` matches at least once). The results of `p` are collected in a list. The results of `q` are discarded.

68. #### def repN[T](num: Int, p: ⇒ Parser[T]): Parser[List[T]]

    A parser generator for a specified number of repetitions.

    A parser generator for a specified number of repetitions.

    `repN(n, p)` uses `p` exactly `n` time to parse the input (the result is a `List` of the `n` consecutive results of `p`).

    num

      the exact number of times `p` must succeed

    p

      a `Parser` that is to be applied successively to the input

    returns

      A parser that returns a list of results produced by repeatedly applying `p` to the input (and that only succeeds if `p` matches exactly `n` times).

69. #### def repsep[T](p: ⇒ Parser[T], q: ⇒ Parser[Any]): Parser[List[T]]

    A parser generator for interleaved repetitions.

    A parser generator for interleaved repetitions.

    `repsep(p, q)` repeatedly uses `p` interleaved with `q` to parse the input, until `p` fails. (The result is a `List` of the results of `p`.)

    Example: `repsep(term, ",")` parses a comma-separated list of term's, yielding a list of these terms.

    p

      a `Parser` that is to be applied successively to the input

    q

      a `Parser` that parses the elements that separate the elements parsed by `p`

    returns

      A parser that returns a list of results produced by repeatedly applying `p` (interleaved with `q`) to the input. The results of `p` are collected in a list. The results of `q` are discarded.

    Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

    returns

      a String representation of the object.
