Enum JsonReadFeature

    • Enum Constant Summary

      Enum Constants 
      Enum Constant Description
      ALLOW_BACKSLASH_ESCAPING_ANY_CHARACTER
      Feature that can be enabled to accept quoting of all character using backslash quoting mechanism: if not enabled, only characters that are explicitly listed by JSON specification can be thus escaped (see JSON spec for small list of these characters)
      ALLOW_JAVA_COMMENTS
      Feature that determines whether parser will allow use of Java/C/C++ style comments (both '/'+'*' and '//' varieties) within parsed content or not.
      ALLOW_LEADING_DECIMAL_POINT_FOR_NUMBERS
      Feature that determines whether parser will allow JSON decimal numbers to start with a decimal point (like: .123).
      ALLOW_LEADING_ZEROS_FOR_NUMBERS
      Feature that determines whether parser will allow JSON integral numbers to start with additional (ignorable) zeroes (like: 000001).
      ALLOW_MISSING_VALUES
      Feature allows the support for "missing" values in a JSON array: missing value meaning sequence of two commas, without value in-between but only optional white space.
      ALLOW_NON_NUMERIC_NUMBERS
      Feature that allows parser to recognize set of "Not-a-Number" (NaN) tokens as legal floating number values (similar to how many other data formats and programming language source code allows it).
      ALLOW_SINGLE_QUOTES
      Feature that determines whether parser will allow use of single quotes (apostrophe, character '\'') for quoting Strings (names and String values).
      ALLOW_TRAILING_COMMA
      Feature that determines whether JsonParser will allow for a single trailing comma following the final value (in an Array) or member (in an Object).
      ALLOW_UNESCAPED_CONTROL_CHARS
      Feature that determines whether parser will allow JSON Strings to contain unescaped control characters (ASCII characters with value less than 32, including tab and line feed characters) or not.
      ALLOW_UNQUOTED_FIELD_NAMES
      Feature that determines whether parser will allow use of unquoted field names (which is allowed by Javascript, but not by JSON specification).
      ALLOW_YAML_COMMENTS
      Feature that determines whether parser will allow use of YAML comments, ones starting with '#' and continuing until the end of the line.

      • ALLOW_JAVA_COMMENTS

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_JAVA_COMMENTS
        Feature that determines whether parser will allow use of Java/C/C++ style comments (both '/'+'*' and '//' varieties) within parsed content or not.

        Since JSON specification does not mention comments as legal construct, this is a non-standard feature; however, in the wild this is extensively used. As such, feature is disabled by default for parsers and must be explicitly enabled.

      • ALLOW_YAML_COMMENTS

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_YAML_COMMENTS
        Feature that determines whether parser will allow use of YAML comments, ones starting with '#' and continuing until the end of the line. This commenting style is common with scripting languages as well.

        Since JSON specification does not mention comments as legal construct, this is a non-standard feature. As such, feature is disabled by default for parsers and must be explicitly enabled.

      • ALLOW_SINGLE_QUOTES

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_SINGLE_QUOTES
        Feature that determines whether parser will allow use of single quotes (apostrophe, character '\'') for quoting Strings (names and String values). If so, this is in addition to other acceptable markers.

        Since JSON specification requires use of double quotes for field names, this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default.

      • ALLOW_UNQUOTED_FIELD_NAMES

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_UNQUOTED_FIELD_NAMES
        Feature that determines whether parser will allow use of unquoted field names (which is allowed by Javascript, but not by JSON specification).

        Since JSON specification requires use of double quotes for field names, this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default.

      • ALLOW_UNESCAPED_CONTROL_CHARS

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_UNESCAPED_CONTROL_CHARS
        Feature that determines whether parser will allow JSON Strings to contain unescaped control characters (ASCII characters with value less than 32, including tab and line feed characters) or not. If feature is set false, an exception is thrown if such a character is encountered.

        Since JSON specification requires quoting for all control characters, this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default.

      • ALLOW_BACKSLASH_ESCAPING_ANY_CHARACTER

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_BACKSLASH_ESCAPING_ANY_CHARACTER
        Feature that can be enabled to accept quoting of all character using backslash quoting mechanism: if not enabled, only characters that are explicitly listed by JSON specification can be thus escaped (see JSON spec for small list of these characters)

        Since JSON specification requires quoting for all control characters, this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default.

      • ALLOW_LEADING_ZEROS_FOR_NUMBERS

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_LEADING_ZEROS_FOR_NUMBERS
        Feature that determines whether parser will allow JSON integral numbers to start with additional (ignorable) zeroes (like: 000001). If enabled, no exception is thrown, and extra nulls are silently ignored (and not included in textual representation exposed via JsonParser.getText()).

        Since JSON specification does not allow leading zeroes, this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default.

      • ALLOW_LEADING_DECIMAL_POINT_FOR_NUMBERS

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_LEADING_DECIMAL_POINT_FOR_NUMBERS
        Feature that determines whether parser will allow JSON decimal numbers to start with a decimal point (like: .123). If enabled, no exception is thrown, and the number is parsed as though a leading 0 had been present.

        Since JSON specification does not allow leading decimal, this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default.

        2.11
      • ALLOW_NON_NUMERIC_NUMBERS

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_NON_NUMERIC_NUMBERS
        Feature that allows parser to recognize set of "Not-a-Number" (NaN) tokens as legal floating number values (similar to how many other data formats and programming language source code allows it). Specific subset contains values that XML Schema (see section 3.2.4.1, Lexical Representation) allows (tokens are quoted contents, not including quotes):
        • "INF" (for positive infinity), as well as alias of "Infinity"
        • "-INF" (for negative infinity), alias "-Infinity"
        • "NaN" (for other not-a-numbers, like result of division by zero)

        Since JSON specification does not allow use of such values, this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default.

      • ALLOW_MISSING_VALUES

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_MISSING_VALUES
        Feature allows the support for "missing" values in a JSON array: missing value meaning sequence of two commas, without value in-between but only optional white space. Enabling this feature will expose "missing" values as JsonToken.VALUE_NULL tokens, which typically become Java nulls in arrays and Collection in data-binding.

        For example, enabling this feature will represent a JSON array ["value1",,"value3",] as ["value1", null, "value3", null]

        Since the JSON specification does not allow missing values this is a non-compliant JSON feature and is disabled by default.

      • ALLOW_TRAILING_COMMA

        public static final JsonReadFeature ALLOW_TRAILING_COMMA
        Feature that determines whether JsonParser will allow for a single trailing comma following the final value (in an Array) or member (in an Object). These commas will simply be ignored.

        For example, when this feature is enabled, [true,true,] is equivalent to [true, true] and {"a": true,} is equivalent to {"a": true}.

        When combined with ALLOW_MISSING_VALUES, this feature takes priority, and the final trailing comma in an array declaration does not imply a missing (null) value. For example, when both ALLOW_MISSING_VALUES and ALLOW_TRAILING_COMMA are enabled, [true,true,] is equivalent to [true, true], and [true,true,,] is equivalent to [true, true, null].

        Since the JSON specification does not permit trailing commas, this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default.
