Class type
Ints, floats and strings literals are systematically preserved using `Intlit
, `Floatlit
and `Stringlit
. This module also supports the specific syntax for variants and tuples supported by Yojson.Safe
.
type t = [
| `Null
| `Bool of bool
| `Intlit of string
| `Floatlit of string
| `Stringlit of string
| `Assoc of (string * t) list
| `List of t list
| `Tuple of t list
| `Variant of string * t option
]
All possible cases defined in Yojson:
("abc", 123)
.<"Foo">
or <"Bar":123>
.type json = t
* Compatibility type alias for type `t`
val pp : Stdlib.Format.formatter -> t -> unit
Pretty printer, useful for debugging
val show : t -> string
Convert value to string, useful for debugging
equal a b
is the monomorphic equality. Determines whether two JSON values are considered equal. In the case of JSON objects, the order of the keys does not matter, except for duplicate keys which will be considered equal as long as they are in the same input order.

This alias is provided for backward compatibility. New code should refer to Yojson.lexer_state
directly.
