   57/** <module> Convert between JSON terms and Prolog application terms
   58
   59The idea behind this module is to  provide a flexible high-level mapping
   60between Prolog terms as you would like   to see them in your application
   61and the standard representation of a JSON   object as a Prolog term. For
   62example,  an  X-Y  point  may  be  represented  in  JSON  as  =|{"x":25,
   63"y":50}|=. Represented in Prolog  this   becomes  json([x=25,y=50]), but
   64this is a pretty non-natural  representation   from  the Prolog point of
   65view.
   66
   67This module allows for defining records (just like library(record)) that
   68provide   transparent   two-way   transformation     between   the   two
   69representations.
   70
   71  ==
   72  :- json_object
   73          point(x:integer, y:integer).
   74  ==
   75
   76This declaration causes prolog_to_json/2 to translate the native Prolog
   77representation into a JSON Term:
   78
   79  ==
   80  ?- prolog_to_json(point(25,50), X).
   81
   82  X = json([x=25, y=50])
   83  ==
   84
   85A json_object/1 declaration can define multiple   objects separated by a
   86comma (,), similar to the dynamic/1 directive. Optionally, a declaration
   87can  be  qualified   using   a    module.   The   conversion  predicates
   88prolog_to_json/2 and json_to_prolog/2 first try  a conversion associated
   89with the calling  module.  If  not   successful,  they  try  conversions
   90associated with the module =user=.
   91
   92JSON objects have no _type_. This can be solved by adding an extra field
   93to the JSON object, e.g. =|{"type":"point", "x":25, "y":50}|=. As Prolog
   94records are typed by their functor we need some notation to handle this
   95gracefully. This is achieved by adding +Fields to the declaration. I.e.
   96
   97  ==
   98  :- json_object
   99          point(x:integer, y:integer) + [type=point].
  100  ==
  101
  102Using this declaration, the conversion becomes:
  103
  104  ==
  105  ?- prolog_to_json(point(25,50), X).
  106
  107  X = json([x=25, y=50, type=point])
  108  ==
  109
  110The predicate json_to_prolog/2 is often  used after http_read_json/2 and
  111prolog_to_json/2 before reply_json/1. For now  we consider them seperate
  112predicates because the transformation may be   too  general, too slow or
  113not needed for dedicated  applications.  Using   a  seperate  step  also
  114simplifies debugging this rather complicated process.
  115
  116@tbd    Ignore extra fields.  Using a partial list of _extra_?
  117@tbd    Consider a sensible default for handling JSON =null=.  Conversion
  118        to Prolog could translate @null into a variable if the desired type
  119        is not =any=.  Conversion to JSON could map variables to =null=,
  120        though this may be unsafe.  If the Prolog term is known to be
  121        non-ground and JSON @null is a sensible mapping, we can also use
  122        this simple snipit to deal with that fact.

  131%
  132%   Multifile   predicate   computed   from     the    json_object/1
  133%   declarations. Term is the most  general Prolog term representing
  134%   the object. Module is the module in  which the object is defined
  135%   and Fields is a list of f(Name,  Type, Default, Var), ordered by
  136%   Name. Var is the corresponding variable in Term.

  141
  142%!  json_object(+Declaration)
  143%
  144%   Declare a JSON object.  The declaration takes the same format as
  145%   using in record/1 from library(record).  E.g.
  146%
  147%     ==
  148%     ?- json_object
  149%           point(x:int, y:int, z:int=0).
  150%     ==
  151%
  152%   The type arguments are either types as know to library(error) or
  153%   functor  names  of  other  JSON   objects.  The  constant  =any=
  154%   indicates an untyped argument.  If  this   is  a  JSON  term, it
  155%   becomes  subject  to  json_to_prolog/2.  I.e.,  using  the  type
  156%   list(any) causes the conversion to be   executed on each element
  157%   of the list.
  158%
  159%   If a field has a default, the default   is  used if the field is
  160%   not specified in the JSON  object.   Extending  the  record type
  161%   definition, types can be of  the   form  (Type1|Type2). The type
  162%   =null= means that the field may _not_ be present.
  163%
  164%   Conversion of JSON  to  Prolog   applies  if  all  non-defaulted
  165%   arguments can be found in  the   JSON  object. If multiple rules
  166%   match, the term with the highest arity gets preference.
