Summary

• Some efficiency improvements when parsing strings.
  • Speed up the unescape_string() routine.
  • Some cleanup and efficiency improvements for hex string validation.
• Various updates to error message reporting.
  • The two arguments to json_file_check_for_errors() are now optional to match the core routine.

6.8.0

See also

• The full Changelog.

Summary

• Added some additional checks so that the destroy method could still be used to destroy some malformed JSON linked lists. Also updated the validate method to check for circular references.
• Added missing arguments (trim_str and adjustl_str) to some of the string wrapper routines.
• Fixed a dangling pointer bug in the destroy method that was causing unpredictable behavior in this routine which could cause a crash for some compilers. 🪲
• Various minor changes to remove some compiler warnings and a line length standards violation.
• Various documentation string updates.

6.7.0

See also

• The full Changelog.

Summary

• Made the two arguments to json_check_for_errors() optional, so now either or both can be used. Note that if no error has been raised, then error_msg is now returned unallocated.
• Added an additional error check in json_value_print() to check for an unassociated pointer.
• Added remove() method to json_file
• Added additional error checks to json_value_add_member(). Now it will raise an exception if try to add a child to a non-array or non-object.
• Added some additional unit tests to increase coverage.
• Fixed a bug in json_value_clone_func() where it could crash if attempting to clone an array element. Updated this routine to improve behavior when cloning an array element (the subsequent entries are no longer cloned). 🐞

6.6.0

See also

• The full Changelog.

Summary

• Now, attempting to get a string variable as an integer, double, or logical will attempt to convert it from a string if strict_type_checking=False. Formerly these cases would raise an exception.
• Fixed an inconsistency in json_get_by_path(). Now if using the optional found argument, any exceptions raised by this routine are cleared.
• Changed the name argument in json_value_remove_if_present() to 'path' to be consistent with other routines since it is really a path.
• Fixed a bug in wrap_json_get_path() where an optional argument was being used without checking if it was present. 🐞
• Various documentation string updates.

6.5.0

See also

• The full Changelog.

Summary

• Added optional trim and adjustl arguments to all the various routines for adding strings and string vectors to JSON.
• The trailing_spaces_significant flag is now respected for name keys when creating a JSON structure.

6.4.0

See also

• The full Changelog.

Summary

• Added optional stop_on_error argument to the various initialize() routines to immediately stop the program if an exception is raised (the default is False).
• Added routines to check if a name key is present in a json_file object, which is also available using the .in. operator (e.g., if ('key' .in. json) ...).
• Added routines to rename a JSON variable by specifying the path.
• Added a Fobis rule for running the test programs. Run using: FoBis.py rule --execute tests -f json-fortran.fobis

6.3.0

See also

• The full Changelog.

Summary

• Fixed a bug in the escaping logic where / characters in strings would not be printed under some circumstances. This bug was introduced in the 6.2.0 release.
• Added a FoBiS configuration file that can be used to build the library, tests, and documentation.
• CMake produced Visual Studio Project works now.
• Minor changes: renamed some of the example files and reverted back to older versions of FoBiS and markdown for documentation building on Travis-CI.

6.2.0

See also

• The full Changelog.

Summary

• Added a new option escape_solidus to specify if the forward slash ("/") is to be escaped when serializing JSON. By default, it is no longer escaped (this changes the behavior introduced in 6.0.0)
• Allow the unit tests to be run from within the Visual Studio solution
• Compiling now works for the CMake-produced Visual Studio solution on Windows (note that the CMake-produced solution is a bit different from the other one provided).
• Fixed an issue causing a problem with the NAG compiler.

6.1.0

See also

• The full Changelog.

Summary

• Added an optional allow_duplicate_keys argument to the various initialize routines. This is True by default. If False, then duplicate keys are considered an error. Also added check_for_duplicate_keys and check_children_for_duplicate_keys methods that can be called.
• Added support for JSONPath "bracket-notation" mode for specifying paths to JSON variables.
• Replaced CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR with INSTALL_LIB_DIR in the CMake project.
• Fixed bug in the lowercase_string routine that could cause a crash for Debug builds.
