Create object
Quickly generate objects and maps
Description
%{}
is a way of defining objects in expressions and statements. Whenever an %{}
object is outputted as a string, it will be converted to minified JSON.
Object elements inside %{}
can be new line and/or comma delimited. This allows for compatibility with JSON but without the pain of accidentally invalid comma management breaking JSON parsers. However a colon is still required to separate keys from values.
Like with YAML, strings in %[]
do not need to be quoted unless you need to force numeric or boolean looking values to be stored as strings.
Examples
Object passed as a JSON string:
» echo %{foo: bar}
{"foo":"bar"}
The %
prefix for the nested object is optional:
» %{foo: bar, baz: [1 2 3]}
{
"baz": [
1,
2,
3
],
"foo": "bar"
}
