Generator

Object Hierarchy:

public class Generator : Object

Namespace: Json

Package: json-glib-1.0

public uint indent { set; get; }
Number of spaces to be used to indent when pretty printing.
public uint indent_char { set; get; }
The character that should be used when indenting in pretty print.
public bool pretty { set; get; }
Whether the output should be "pretty-printed", with indentation and newlines. The indentation level can be controlled by using the JsonGenerator:indent property
public Node root { set; get; }
The root Node to be used when constructing a JSON data stream.

public Generator ()
Creates a new Generator. You can use this object to generate a JSON data stream starting from a data object model composed by Nodes.

public uint get_indent ()
Retrieves the value set using set_indent.
public unichar get_indent_char ()
Retrieves the value set using set_indent_char.
public bool get_pretty ()
Retrieves the value set using set_pretty.
public unowned Node get_root ()
Retrieves a pointer to the root Node set using set_root.
public void set_indent (uint indent_level)
Sets the number of repetitions for each indentation level.
public void set_indent_char (unichar indent_char)
Sets the character to be used when indenting
public void set_pretty (bool is_pretty)
Sets whether the generated JSON should be pretty printed, using the indentation character specified in the indent_char property and the spacing specified in indent property.
public void set_root (Node node)
Sets node as the root of the JSON data stream to be serialized by the Generator.
public string to_data (out size_t length)
Generates a JSON data stream from generator and returns it as a buffer.
public bool to_file (string filename) throws Error
Creates a JSON data stream and puts it inside filename, overwriting the current file contents. This operation is atomic.
public bool to_stream (OutputStream stream, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
Outputs JSON data and streams it (synchronously) to stream.
