libubox: Add ability to find ordinal position inside a table

2025-12-08T13:59:11Z

When adding anonymous objects to an array, the only way to select those objects (as in "json_select", i.e. moving the cursor) is to select them via their ordinality. This function returns a selectable index to those objects. Signed-off-by: Philip Prindeville Link: https://github.com/openwrt/libubox/pull/33 Signed-off-by: Álvaro Fernández Rojas

libubox: Drop extraneous space when appending values to variable

jshn.sh: Add pretty-printing to json_dump

2023-04-15T13:04:19Z

If a JSON file might be read by a human, say for debugging, it could be useful to pretty-print it. We do this in places by calling "json_dump -i" but it shouldn't be necessary to know the arguments to "jshn" (and indeed, that's not portable if we retool the underlying implementation). Conversely output that's ephemeral doesn't need to be pretty (say being piped as input to another command). Signed-off-by: Philip Prindeville

jshn.sh: add json_add_fields function for adding multiple fields at once

2022-09-27T12:17:52Z

This simplifies passing extra object data as a function parameter Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau

sh/jshn.sh: add json_for_each_item()

2018-02-08T11:15:20Z

Function usefull to iterate through the different elements of an array or object; the provided callback function is called for each element which is passed the value, key and user provided arguments. For field types different from array or object the callback is called with the retrieved value. Signed-off-by: Hans Dedecker Acked-by: Jo-Philipp Wich

jshn: add functionality to read big JSON

2018-01-22T08:21:03Z

The existing read functionality feeds the complete JSON to jshn as a cmdline argument, leading to `-ash: jshn: Argument list too long` errors for JSONs bigger than ca. 100KB. This commit adds the ability to read the JSON directly from a file if wanted, removing this shell-imposed size limit. Tested on x86-64 and ar71xx. An mmap()-based solution was also evaluated, but found to make no performance difference on either platform. Signed-off-by: Christian Beier

jshn: properly support JSON "null" type

2018-01-07T14:52:24Z

Instead of abort parsing, properly deal with "null" values by implementing support for reading and formatting such values. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich
