New issue 383 by daviebd...@gmail.com: Add support for marshalling JSON
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=383
Could vim have a built-in tojson({value}) and fromjson({json}) helpers to
serialize and deserialize JSON?
JSON is used in lots of vim plugins like
https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe,
https://github.com/google/vim-maktaba,
https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-manager, and eventually Vundle
(https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim/pull/560). These can either use
slow hacks or depend on python support, but it would be best if vim just
had native, performant support for JSON marshalling built in.
Expected behavior
:echo tojson({'a': [1, 'foo'], 'b': 2.1}) ==# '{"a": [1, "foo"], "b":
2.1}'
1
:echo fromjson("[1.0, {}, []]") ==# [1.0, {}, []]
1
:echo tojson(fromjson('[null, true, false]')) ==# '[null, true, false]'
1
Note in the last example there needs to be a way to represent null, true,
and false unambiguously even though vim doesn't have these primitives.
Also, fromjson() could use an option to translate into standard vim
equivalents like '', 1, and 0.
