A basic integration could support a few basic things like:
- Getting a value at a position in an array would be the only useful thing such
a syntax should support, I'd say:
author.articles[0]
- Iterating over such an array would be supported without any need for array
notation, since JSONArray is already Iterable:
<t:loop t:source="json:author.articles" t:value="article">
${json:article.title}
</t:loop>
- The guarding '?' could be useful. It could not only guard against missing
members but also against missing elements in the array:
author?.articles[1]
Parsing the expression might be quite expensive if the solution is just
string-manipulation-based. The way the regular properties are resolved (all
this stuff around antlr) is faster than any string-tokenizing, right?
Case-insensitivity:
I would say only the Tapestry properties. Everyone knows which case the
properties should be, since in most cases that you need a JSON the function
that receives it is not case-insensitive. Javascript libraries, JSON-centric
databases…
Regarding the "simple mapping from JSONObject to normal Object":
We're using Jackson(http://jackson.codehaus.org) to map objects from MongoDB to
POJOs (using a wrapping library for that
https://github.com/vznet/mongo-jackson-mapper).
Now it's getting pretty complex. But in general: would you prefer such mapper
over reinventing the json-mapping-wheel? It would mean another dependency but I
think it would be worth it.
