Converts a JsValue to its string representation, escaping all non-ascii characters using \u005CuXXXX syntax.

This is particularly useful when the output JSON will be executed as javascript, since JSON is not a strict subset of javascript (see JSON: The JavaScript subset that isn't).

import play.api.libs.json.{ Json, JsString }

Json.asciiStringify(JsString("some\\u005Ctext\\u005C"))
// => "some\\u005Ctext\\u005C"

Json.stringify(JsString("some\\u005Ctext\\u005C"))
// => "sometext"

Converts a JsValue to a value of requested type T.

Returns a JsObject with given fields.

Parses some bytes representing a JSON input, and returns it as a JsValue.

The character encoding used will be automatically detected as UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32, as per the heuristics in RFC-4627.

Parses a stream representing a JSON input, and returns it as a JsValue.

Parses a String representing a JSON input, and returns it as a JsValue.

Converts a JsValue to its pretty string representation using default pretty printer (line feeds after each fields and 2-spaces indentation).

import play.api.libs.json.Json

val res0 = Json.obj(
  "field1" -> Json.obj(
    "field11" -> "value11",
    "field12" -> Json.arr("alpha", 123L)
  )
)
// => {"field1":{"field11":"value11","field12":["alpha",123]}}

Json.prettyPrint(res0)
// =>
// {
//   "field1" : {
//     "field11" : "value11",
//     "field12" : [ "alpha", 123 ]
//   }
// }

Converts a JsValue to its string representation.

import play.api.libs.json.Json

val input = Json.obj(
  "field1" -> Json.obj(
    "field11" -> "value11",
    "field12" -> Json.arr("alpha", 123L)
  )
)

Json.stringify(input)
// => {"field1":{"field11":"value11","field12":["alpha",123]}}

Converts a JsValue to bytes (using UTF-8 encoding).

Converts any object writeable value to a JsObject.

A value is writeable as an object, if a OWrites implicit is available for its type.

Converts any writeable value to a JsValue.

A value is writeable if a Writes implicit is available for its type.
