BREAKING CHANGES

This release hides JsonVariant's functions that were only intended for internal use. If you were using them in your programs, you must replace with operator[] and to<JsonVariant>(), like so:

// before
JsonVariant a = variant.getElement(idx);
JsonVariant b = variant.getOrAddElement(idx);
JsonVariant c = variant.getMember(key);
JsonVariant d = variant.getOrAddMember(key);

// after
JsonVariant a = variant[idx];
JsonVariant b = idx < variant.size() ? variant[idx] : variant[idx].to<JsonVariant>();
JsonVariant c = variant[key];
JsonVariant d = variant.containsKey(key) ? variant[key] : variant[key].to<JsonVariant>();

BREAKING CHANGES

Support for char removed

We cannot cast a JsonVariant to a char anymore, so the following will break:

char age = doc["age"];  //  error: no matching function for call to 'variantAs(VariantData*&)'

Instead, you must use another integral type, such as int8_t:

int8_t age = doc["age"];  // OK

Similarly, we cannot assign from a char anymore, so the following will break:

char age;
doc["age"] = age;  // error: no matching function for call to 'VariantRef::set(const char&)'

Instead, you must use another integral type, such as int8_t:

int8_t age;
doc["age"] = age;  // OK

A deprecation warning with the message "Support for char is deprecated, use int8_t or uint8_t instead" was added to allow a smooth transition.

as<T>() always returns T

Previously, JsonVariant::as<T>() could return a type different from T. The most common example is as<char*>() that returned a const char*. While this feature simplified a few use cases, it was confusing and complicated the implementation of custom converters.

Starting from this version, as<T> doesn't try to auto-correct the return type and always return T, which means that you cannot write this anymore:

Serial.println(doc["sensor"].as<char*>());  // error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]

Instead, you must write:

Serial.println(doc["sensor"].as<const char*>());  // OK

A deprecation warning with the message "Replace as<char*>() with as<const char*>()" was added to allow a smooth transition.

DeserializationError::NotSupported removed

On a different topic, DeserializationError::NotSupported has been removed. Instead of returning this error:

• deserializeJson() leaves \uXXXX unchanged (only when ARDUINOJSON_DECODE_UNICODE is 0)
• deserializeMsgPack() replaces unsupported values with nulls

Const-aware is<T>()

Lastly, a very minor change concerns JsonVariantConst::is<T>(). It used to return true for JsonArray and JsonOject, but now it returns false. Instead, you must use JsonArrayConst and JsonObjectConst.

v6.17.3 (2021-02-15)

• Made JsonDocument's destructor protected (issue #1480)

• Added StaticJsonDocument::garbageCollect()
• Changed copy-constructor of BasicJsonDocument to preserve the capacity of the source.
• Removed copy-constructor of JsonDocument (issue #1189)

BREAKING CHANGES

Copy-constructor of BasicJsonDocument

In previous versions, the copy constructor of BasicJsonDocument looked at the source's memoryUsage() to choose its capacity. Now, the copy constructor of BasicJsonDocument uses the same capacity as the source.

Example:

DynamicJsonDocument doc1(64);
doc1.set(String("example"));

DynamicJsonDocument doc2 = doc1;
Serial.print(doc2.capacity());  // 8 with ArduinoJson 6.14
                                // 64 with ArduinoJson 6.15

I made this change to get consistent results between copy-constructor and move-constructor, and whether RVO applies or not.

If you use the copy-constructor to optimize your documents, you can use garbageCollect() or shrinkToFit() instead.

Copy-constructor of JsonDocument

In previous versions, it was possible to create a function that take a JsonDocument by value.

void myFunction(JsonDocument doc) {}

This function gives the wrong clues because it doesn't receive a copy of the JsonDocument, only a sliced version. It worked because the copy constructor copied the internal pointers, but it was an accident.

From now, if you need to pass a JsonDocument to a function, you must use a reference:

void myFunction(JsonDocument& doc) {}

v6.14.1 (2020-01-27)

• Fixed regression in UTF16 decoding (issue #1173)

• Improved decoding of UTF-16 surrogate pairs (PR #1157 by @kaysievers) (ArduinoJson now produces standard UTF-8 instead of CESU-8)
• Added measureJson, measureJsonPretty, and measureMsgPack to keywords.txt (This file is used for syntax highlighting in the Arduino IDE)
• Fixed variant.is<nullptr_t>()
• Fixed value returned by serializeJson(), serializeJsonPretty(), and serializeMsgPack() when writing to a String
• Improved speed of serializeJson(), serializeJsonPretty(), and serializeMsgPack() when writing to a String

BREAKING CHANGES

Comments

Support for comments in input is now optional and disabled by default.

• Added ARDUINOJSON_ENABLE_INFINITY (default=0) to enable Infinity in JSON
• Removed implicit conversion in comparison operators (issue #998)
• Added lexicographical comparison for JsonVariant
• Added support for nullptr (issue #998)

BREAKING CHANGES

NaN and Infinity

The JSON specification allows neither NaN not Infinity, but previous versions of ArduinoJson supported it. Now, ArduinoJson behaves like most other libraries: a NaN or and Infinity in the JsonDocument, becomes a null in the output JSON. Also, deserializeJson() returns InvalidInput if the JSON document contains NaN or Infinity.

This version still supports NaN and Infinity in JSON documents, but it's disabled by default to be compatible with other JSON parsers. If you need the old behavior back, define ARDUINOJSON_ENABLE_NAN and ARDUINOJSON_ENABLE_INFINITY to 1;:

#define ARDUINOJSON_ENABLE_NAN 1
#define ARDUINOJSON_ENABLE_INFINITY 1
#include <ArduinoJson.h>

The "or" operator

This version slightly changes the behavior of the | operator when the variant contains a float and the user requests an integer.

Older versions returned the floating point value truncated. Now, it returns the default value.

// suppose variant contains 1.2
int value = variant | 3;

// old behavior:
value == 1

// new behavior
value == 3

If you need the old behavior, you must add if (variant.is<float>()).

BREAKING CHANGES

DynamicJsonDocument's constructor

The parameter to the constructor of DynamicJsonDocument is now mandatory

Old code:

DynamicJsonDocument doc;

New code:

DynamicJsonDocument doc(1024);

Nesting limit

JsonDocument::nestingLimit was replaced with a new parameter to deserializeJson() and deserializeMsgPack().

Old code:

doc.nestingLimit = 15;
deserializeJson(doc, input);

New code:

deserializeJson(doc, input, DeserializationOption::NestingLimit(15));

• Replaced JsonPair's key and value with key() and value()
• Fixed serializeJson(obj[key], dst) (issue #794)

BREAKING CHANGES

JsonVariant

JsonVariant now has a semantic similar to JsonObject and JsonArray. It's a reference to a value stored in the JsonDocument. As a consequence, a JsonVariant cannot be used as a standalone variable anymore.

Old code:

JsonVariant myValue = 42;

New code:

DynamicJsonDocument doc;
JsonVariant myValue = doc.to<JsonVariant>();
myValue.set(42);

JsonPair

Old code:

for(JsonPair p : myObject) {
  Serial.println(p.key);
  Serial.println(p.value.as<int>());
}

New code:

for(JsonPair p : myObject) {
  Serial.println(p.key());
  Serial.println(p.value().as<int>());
}

CAUTION: the key is now read only!

• serializeMsgPack() now supports values marked with serialized()

BREAKING CHANGES

Non quoted strings

Non quoted strings are now forbidden in values, but they are still allowed in keys. For example, {key:"value"} is accepted, but {key:value} is not.

Preformatted values

Old code:

object["values"] = RawJson("[1,2,3,4]");

New code:

object["values"] = serialized("[1,2,3,4]");

v6.1.0-beta (2018-07-02)

• Return JsonArray and JsonObject by value instead of reference (issue #309)
• Replaced success() with isNull()

BREAKING CHANGES

Old code:

JsonObject& obj = doc.to<JsonObject>();
JsonArray& arr = obj.createNestedArray("key");
if (!arr.success()) {
  Serial.println("Not enough memory");
  return;
}

New code:

JsonObject obj = doc.to<JsonObject>();
JsonArray arr = obj.createNestedArray("key");
if (arr.isNull()) {
  Serial.println("Not enough memory");
  return;
}

v6.0.1-beta (2018-06-11)

• Fixed conflicts with isnan() and isinf() macros (issue #752)

v6.0.0-beta (2018-06-07)

• Added DynamicJsonDocument and StaticJsonDocument
• Added deserializeJson()
• Added serializeJson() and serializeJsonPretty()
• Added measureJson() and measureJsonPretty()
• Added serializeMsgPack(), deserializeMsgPack() and measureMsgPack() (issue #358)
• Added example MsgPackParser.ino (issue #358)
• Added support for non zero-terminated strings (issue #704)
• Removed JsonBuffer::parseArray(), parseObject() and parse()
• Removed JsonBuffer::createArray() and createObject()
• Removed printTo() and prettyPrintTo()
• Removed measureLength() and measurePrettyLength()
• Removed all deprecated features

BREAKING CHANGES

Deserialization

Old code:

DynamicJsonBuffer jb;
JsonObject& obj = jb.parseObject(json);
if (obj.success()) {

}

New code:

DynamicJsonDocument doc;
DeserializationError error = deserializeJson(doc, json);
if (error) {

}
JsonObject& obj = doc.as<JsonObject>();

Serialization

Old code:

DynamicJsonBuffer jb;
JsonObject& obj = jb.createObject();
obj["key"] = "value";
obj.printTo(Serial);

New code:

DynamicJsonDocument obj;
JsonObject& obj = doc.to<JsonObject>();
obj["key"] = "value";
serializeJson(doc, Serial);
