This is the JSON parser implemented as a C extension. It can be configured to be used by setting

JSON.parser = JSON::Ext::Parser

with the method parser= in JSON.

new(source, opts => {})

Creates a new JSON::Ext::Parser instance for the string source.

Creates a new JSON::Ext::Parser instance for the string source.

It will be configured by the opts hash. opts can have the following keys:

opts can have the following keys:

  • max_nesting: The maximum depth of nesting allowed in the parsed data structures. Disable depth checking with :max_nesting => false|nil|0, it defaults to 100.

  • allow_nan: If set to true, allow NaN, Infinity and -Infinity in defiance of RFC 4627 to be parsed by the Parser. This option defaults to false.

  • symbolize_names: If set to true, returns symbols for the names (keys) in a JSON object. Otherwise strings are returned, which is also the default.

  • create_additions: If set to false, the Parser doesn't create additions even if a matchin class and create_id was found. This option defaults to true.

  • object_class: Defaults to Hash

  • array_class: Defaults to Array
