Add a advanced example
It uses its own API which I packed between MTApi5 and MatLab. Possible that this is useless, but errors from the .NET assembly are more tradable.

||||
|
||||
I. Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
JSON ([http://www.json.org/ JavaScript Object Notation]) is a highly portable,
|
||||
human-readable and "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON fat-free]" text format
|
||||
to represent complex and hierarchical data. It is as powerful as
|
||||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML XML], but less verbose. JSON format is widely
|
||||
used for data-exchange in applications, and is essential for the wild success
|
||||
of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming) Ajax] and
|
||||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0 Web2.0].
|
||||
|
||||
UBJSON (Universal Binary JSON) is a binary JSON format, specifically
|
||||
optimized for compact file size and better performance while keeping
|
||||
the semantics as simple as the text-based JSON format. Using the UBJSON
|
||||
format allows to wrap complex binary data in a flexible and extensible
|
||||
structure, making it possible to process complex and large dataset
|
||||
without accuracy loss due to text conversions.
|
||||
|
||||
We envision that both JSON and its binary version will serve as part of
|
||||
the mainstream data-exchange formats for scientific research in the future.
|
||||
It will provide the flexibility and generality achieved by other popular
|
||||
general-purpose file specifications, such as
|
||||
[http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/whatishdf5.html HDF5], with significantly
|
||||
reduced complexity and enhanced performance.
|
||||
|
||||
JSONlab is a free and open-source implementation of a JSON/UBJSON encoder
|
||||
and a decoder in the native MATLAB language. It can be used to convert a MATLAB
|
||||
data structure (array, struct, cell, struct array and cell array) into
|
||||
JSON/UBJSON formatted strings, or to decode a JSON/UBJSON file into MATLAB
|
||||
data structure. JSONlab supports both MATLAB and
|
||||
[http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ GNU Octave] (a free MATLAB clone).
|
||||
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
II. Installation
|
||||
|
||||
The installation of JSONlab is no different than any other simple
|
||||
MATLAB toolbox. You only need to download/unzip the JSONlab package
|
||||
to a folder, and add the folder's path to MATLAB/Octave's path list
|
||||
by using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
addpath('/path/to/jsonlab');
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to add this path permanently, you need to type "pathtool",
|
||||
browse to the jsonlab root folder and add to the list, then click "Save".
|
||||
Then, run "rehash" in MATLAB, and type "which loadjson", if you see an
|
||||
output, that means JSONlab is installed for MATLAB/Octave.
|
||||
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
III.Using JSONlab
|
||||
|
||||
JSONlab provides two functions, loadjson.m -- a MATLAB->JSON decoder,
|
||||
and savejson.m -- a MATLAB->JSON encoder, for the text-based JSON, and
|
||||
two equivallent functions -- loadubjson and saveubjson for the binary
|
||||
JSON. The detailed help info for the four functions can be found below:
|
||||
|
||||
=== loadjson.m ===
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
data=loadjson(fname,opt)
|
||||
or
|
||||
data=loadjson(fname,'param1',value1,'param2',value2,...)
|
||||
|
||||
parse a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file or string

rootname: name of the root-object, if set to '', will use variable name
|
||||
obj: a MATLAB object (array, cell, cell array, struct, struct array)
|
||||
filename: a string for the file name to save the output JSON data
|
||||
opt: a struct for additional options, use [] if all use default
|
||||
opt can have the following fields (first in [.|.] is the default)
|
||||
|
||||
opt.FileName [''|string]: a file name to save the output JSON data
|
||||
opt.FloatFormat ['%.10g'|string]: format to show each numeric element
|
||||
of a 1D/2D array;
|
||||
opt.ArrayIndent [1|0]: if 1, output explicit data array with
|
||||
precedent indentation; if 0, no indentation
|
||||
opt.ArrayToStruct[0|1]: when set to 0, savejson outputs 1D/2D
|
||||
array in JSON array format; if sets to 1, an
|
||||
array will be shown as a struct with fields
|
||||
"_ArrayType_", "_ArraySize_" and "_ArrayData_"; for
|
||||
sparse arrays, the non-zero elements will be
|
||||
saved to _ArrayData_ field in triplet-format i.e.
|
||||
(ix,iy,val) and "_ArrayIsSparse_" will be added
|
||||
with a value of 1; for a complex array, the
|
||||
_ArrayData_ array will include two columns
|
||||
(4 for sparse) to record the real and imaginary
|
||||
parts, and also "_ArrayIsComplex_":1 is added.
|
||||
opt.ParseLogical [0|1]: if this is set to 1, logical array elem
|
||||
will use true/false rather than 1/0.
|
||||
opt.NoRowBracket [1|0]: if this is set to 1, arrays with a single
|
||||
numerical element will be shown without a square
|
||||
bracket, unless it is the root object; if 0, square
|
||||
brackets are forced for any numerical arrays.
|
||||
opt.ForceRootName [0|1]: when set to 1 and rootname is empty, savejson
|
||||
will use the name of the passed obj variable as the
|
||||
root object name; if obj is an expression and
|
||||
does not have a name, 'root' will be used; if this
|
||||
is set to 0 and rootname is empty, the root level
|
||||
will be merged down to the lower level.
|
||||
opt.Inf ['"$1_Inf_"'|string]: a customized regular expression pattern
|
||||
to represent +/-Inf. The matched pattern is '([-+]*)Inf'
|
||||
and $1 represents the sign. For those who want to use
|
||||
1e999 to represent Inf, they can set opt.Inf to '$11e999'
|
||||
opt.NaN ['"_NaN_"'|string]: a customized regular expression pattern
|
||||
to represent NaN
|
||||
opt.JSONP [''|string]: to generate a JSONP output (JSON with padding),
|
||||
for example, if opt.JSON='foo', the JSON data is
|
||||
wrapped inside a function call as 'foo(...);'
|
||||
opt.UnpackHex [1|0]: conver the 0x[hex code] output by loadjson
|
||||
back to the string form
|
||||
opt.SaveBinary [0|1]: 1 - save the JSON file in binary mode; 0 - text mode.
|
||||
opt can be replaced by a list of ('param',value) pairs. The param
|
||||
string is equivallent to a field in opt.
|
||||
output:
|
||||
json: a string in the JSON format (see http://json.org)

=== examples ===
|
||||
|
||||
Under the "examples" folder, you can find several scripts to demonstrate the
|
||||
basic utilities of JSONlab. Running the "demo_jsonlab_basic.m" script, you
|
||||
will see the conversions from MATLAB data structure to JSON text and backward.
|
||||
In "jsonlab_selftest.m", we load complex JSON files downloaded from the Internet
|
||||
and validate the loadjson/savejson functions for regression testing purposes.
|
||||
Similarly, a "demo_ubjson_basic.m" script is provided to test the saveubjson
|
||||
and loadubjson pairs for various matlab data structures.
|
||||
|
||||
Please run these examples and understand how JSONlab works before you use
|
||||
it to process your data.
|
||||
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
IV. Known Issues and TODOs
|
||||
|
||||
JSONlab has several known limitations. We are striving to make it more general
|
||||
and robust. Hopefully in a few future releases, the limitations become less.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the known issues:
|
||||
|
||||
# 3D or higher dimensional cell/struct-arrays will be converted to 2D arrays;
|
||||
# When processing names containing multi-byte characters, Octave and MATLAB \
|
||||
can give different field-names; you can use feature('DefaultCharacterSet','latin1') \
|
||||
in MATLAB to get consistant results
|
||||
# Can not handle classes.
|
||||
# saveubjson has not yet supported arbitrary data ([H] in the UBJSON specification)
|
||||
# saveubjson now converts a logical array into a uint8 ([U]) array for now
|
||||
# an unofficial N-D array count syntax is implemented in saveubjson. We are \
|
||||
actively communicating with the UBJSON spec maintainer to investigate the \
|
||||
possibility of making it upstream
|
||||
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
V. Contribution and feedback
|
||||
|
||||
JSONlab is an open-source project. This means you can not only use it and modify
|
||||
it as you wish, but also you can contribute your changes back to JSONlab so
|
||||
that everyone else can enjoy the improvement. For anyone who want to contribute,
|
||||
please download JSONlab source code from it's subversion repository by using the
|
||||
following command:
|
||||
|
||||
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/iso2mesh/code/trunk/jsonlab jsonlab
|
||||
|
||||
You can make changes to the files as needed. Once you are satisfied with your
|
||||
changes, and ready to share it with others, please cd the root directory of
|
||||
JSONlab, and type
|
||||
|
||||
svn diff > yourname_featurename.patch
|
||||
|
||||
You then email the .patch file to JSONlab's maintainer, Qianqian Fang, at
|
||||
the email address shown in the beginning of this file. Qianqian will review
|
||||
the changes and commit it to the subversion if they are satisfactory.
|
||||
|
||||
We appreciate any suggestions and feedbacks from you. Please use iso2mesh's
