public class TokenToJSON
extends Converter

An actor that converts a Token into a StringToken containing JSON-formatted data. Nested structures in ArrayToken or RecordToken translate into correspondingly nested JSON output.

Constructor Detail

TokenToJSON

public TokenToJSON(CompositeEntity container,
                   java.lang.String name)
            throws NameDuplicationException,
                   IllegalActionException

Construct a TokenToJSON actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

constructJSON

public static java.lang.String constructJSON(Token input)
                                      throws IllegalActionException

Construct a string that represents the argument in JSON format. If the argument is a RecordToken, then a JSON object is returned (a string that starts with '{' and ends with '}'). If the argument is an ArrayToken, then a JSON array is returned (a string that starts with '[' and ends with ']'). In both cases, the contents of the record and array are constructed recursively. If the argument is any of the ScalarTokens, then a string representation of the number or boolean is returned. If the argument is null or a nil token, then the string "null" is returned. If the argument is a StringToken, return its value (with quotation marks). If the argument is a MatrixToken, then the matrix is represented as a JSON array with the elements in row-scanned order (raster scan).

Parameters:

input - Data to represent in JSON.

Returns:

a string that represent the input in JSON format

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the Token found on the input cannot be expressed in JSON format

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Read a Token from the input and produce a corresponding JSON-formatted string on the output.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the input Token cannot be converted to JSON.

prefire

public boolean prefire()
                throws IllegalActionException

Return false if the input port has no token, otherwise return what the superclass returns (presumably true).

Specified by:

prefire in interface Executable

Overrides:

prefire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Returns:

True if this actor is ready for firing, false otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is no director.

_defaultTypeConstraints

protected java.util.Set<Inequality> _defaultTypeConstraints()

Do not establish the usual default type constraints.

Overrides:

_defaultTypeConstraints in class TypedAtomicActor

Returns:

A set of type constraints
