I'm not quite sure what people use these days, and whether Java or Kotlin libraries have the preference (e.g. Jackson)

Your PR looks fine, and it comes with a test, happy to merge it

done

what are the odds that there could be release of that? 😬

I had a suspicion that might be your next question 🙂

haha

Done, 5.6 should appear on Maven Central in the next hours, please confirm when you see it

❤️ thank you

@cedric - still no 5.6 in any of the repos i'm looking at (maven.org and mvnrepository.com)

It's there: https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.beust/klaxon/5.6/jar

yes it is - thanks so much for getting that out there, i owe you a beer or something

Thanks for the PR!

plugging this in to my project now - works perfectly and cleans up a lot of message pre-processing 🕺

Great!

Hey Cedric, have you heard of Moshi and Jackson considering migrating from

kotlin-reflect

to

kotlinx-metadata

? It's supposed to be faster, and provides a nice reduction in binary size (3 MB to 1 MB). Have you considered performing a similar change? https://github.com/square/moshi/pull/1183 https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-module-kotlin/issues/450

Hi! I'm trying to use KlaxonSettings to not serialize null values but it doesn't appear to be there in 5.6. Is there a way to not serialize nulls in that version?

Also is there a setting to remove extra whitespace from output?

org.junit.ComparisonFailure: 
Expected :{"a1":123,"a2":"abc"}
Actual   :{"a1" : 123, "a2" : "abc"}

Hi Kasey. Been a while since I worked on Klaxon so I don't quite remember 🙂 Feel free to send a PR though

Ah, ok. I like the API. 🙂

I like it too 😄

I'm using it a bit non-standard

val parser = klaxon.parser(kc)
val o: T? = klaxon.maybeParse(parser.parse(StringReader(data)) as JsonObject)

Looks like I need to directly use

fromJsonObject

to instantiate subclass, then cast to sealed class

Is there a way to let Klaxon fail if the json is not valid? For instance, klaxon ignores trailing commas or even double commas. something like:

println(com.beust.klaxon.Klaxon().parseJsonArray(StringReader("""[{"a": 1,, "b": 2 }]""")))

results in

JsonArray(value=[a,b])

and not an error

@cedric ☝️ can you help out?

Sorry @robstoll, I haven't worked on Klaxon in a while 😕

Any news on when the next version is out? I would like to use the KlaxonSettings functionality, which was merged Jun 9, 2022 The latest version is

5.6

, which was tagged Mar 12, 2022 I assume this means the settings code is waiting on master for the next version release ?

Sorry, I haven't worked on Klaxon in quite a while...

A beginner question, what is the advantage of using low-level-api in Klaxon compared to JSONObject, JSONArray etc in other libraries like org.json.json, jackson etc? TIA

Is there any way we can revive klaxon? I like to use it as a replacement for gson because gson has given me a lot of headaches, but with the last release being 3 years ago I no longer feel confident in pulling it into new code.

Hi @Mario Ruiz. Well, I'm no longer maintaining it but if you'd like to, I'm happy to add you as a contributor
