For example, an X-Y point may be represented in JSON as =|{"x":25, "y":50}|=. Represented in Prolog this becomes json([x=25,y=50]), but this is a pretty non-natural representation from the Prolog point of view. This module allows for defining records (just like library(record)) that provide transparent two-way transformation between the two representations. == :- json_object point(x:integer, y:integer). == This declaration causes prolog_to_json/2 to translate the native Prolog representation into a JSON Term: == ?- prolog_to_json(point(25,50), X). X = json([x=25, y=50]) == A json_object/1 declaration can define multiple objects separated by a comma (,), similar to the dynamic/1 directive. Optionally, a declaration can be qualified using a module. The conversion predicates prolog_to_json/2 and json_to_prolog/2 first try a conversion associated with the calling module. If not successful, they try conversions associated with the module =user=. JSON objects have no _type_. This can be solved by adding an extra field to the JSON object, e.g. =|{"type":"point", "x":25, "y":50}|=. As Prolog records are typed by their functor we need some notation to handle this gracefully. This is achieved by adding +Fields to the declaration. I.e. == :- json_object point(x:integer, y:integer) + [type=point]. == Using this declaration, the conversion becomes: == ?- prolog_to_json(point(25,50), X). X = json([x=25, y=50, type=point]) == The predicate json_to_prolog/2 is often used after http_read_json/2 and prolog_to_json/2 before reply_json/1. For now we consider them seperate predicates because the transformation may be too general, too slow or not needed for dedicated applications. Using a seperate step also simplifies debugging this rather complicated process. @tbd Ignore extra fields. Using a partial list of _extra_? @tbd Consider a sensible default for handling JSON =null=. Conversion to Prolog could translate @null into a variable if the desired type is not =any=. Conversion to JSON could map variables to =null=, though this may be unsafe. If the Prolog term is known to be non-ground and JSON @null is a sensible mapping, we can also use this simple snipit to deal with that fact. == term_variables(Term, Vars), maplist(=(@null), Vars). == */ %! current_json_object(Term, Module, Fields) % % Multifile predicate computed from the json_object/1 % declarations.
