Deprecated

This library is now in maintenance-mode. We recommend to use fs2-data-json-circe which provides a migration guide.

circe-fs2

This project provides support for using fs2 for streaming JSON parsing and decoding with circe, a Scala library for encoding and decoding JSON to Scala types.

Parsing

Circe-fs2 provides different pipes to parse your streams of JSONs depending on whether your stream is:

• a \n-separated stream of JSON values or value stream:

{ "repo": "circe-fs2", "stars": 14 }
{ "repo": "circe-config", "stars": 5 }

• or a JSON array:

[
  { "repo": "circe-fs2", "stars": 14 },
  { "repo": "circe-config", "stars": 5 }
]

The appropriate pipe for the job also depends on your input stream value type (i.e. String, Byte or Chunk[Byte]).

The following table sums up every pipe available as a function of the input stream value type as well as the JSON structure:

As an example, let's say we have a stream of strings representing a JSON array, we'll pick the stringArrayParser pipe which converts a stream of String to a stream of Json, Circe's representation of JSONs:

import io.circe.fs2._
val stringStream: Stream[IO, String] = ...
val parsedStream: Stream[IO, Json] = stringStream.through(stringArrayParser)

Decoding

Circe-fs2 also comes with a decoder pipe which, given a Decoder[A], produces a Stream[F[_], Json] => Stream[F[_], A] pipe.

For example, using Circe's fully automatic derivation:

import io.circe.generic.auto._
case class Foo(a: Int, b: String)
val parsedStream: Stream[IO, Json] = ...
val decodedStream: Stream[IO, Foo] = parsedStream.through(decoder[IO, Foo])

Contributors and participation

All circe projects support the Typelevel code of conduct and we want all of their channels (Gitter, GitHub, etc.) to be welcoming environments for everyone.
