Predicate json_write/3 |
:- use_module(library(http/json)).
Values can be of the form #(Term), which causes Term to be stringified if it is not an atom or string. Stringification is based on term_string/2.
Rational numbers are emitted as floating point numbers. The hook json_write_hook/4 can be used to realize domain specific alternatives.
The version 7 dict type is supported as well. Optionally, if
the dict has a tag, a property "type":"tag" can be added to the
object. This behaviour can be controlled using the tag
option (see below). For example:
?- json_write(current_output, point{x:1,y:2}). { "x":1, "y":2 }
?- json_write(current_output, point{x:1,y:2}, [tag(type)]). { "type":"point", "x":1, "y":2 }
In addition to the options recognised by json_read/3, we process the following options are recognised:
true
(default false
), serialize unknown
terms and print them as a JSON string. The default raises a type error.
Note that this option only makes sense if you can guarantee that the
passed value is not an otherwise valid Prolog reporesentation of a
Prolog term.
If a string is emitted, the sequence </
is emitted as
<\/
. This is valid JSON syntax which ensures that JSON
objects can be safely embedded into an HTML <script>
element.
