JSON_ARRAY JSON_VALUE returns

[phgachoud]

Trying to inherit from JSON_ARRAY I'd like to have a MY_JSON_VALUE used in all the routines, so much as parameter than as return type. Was there a reason to make those types anchored and not like items.item ???

Any way to refactor it?
Pull request??

The lib sticks to the JSON specification, and the set of JSON values are limited.
So using JSON_VALUE sounds easier to read rather than like items.item

However, if this is possible, I invite you to send a pull request with what you have in mind, and maybe with an example.

My point on this is

class MY_JSON_ARRAY

inherit
    JSON_ARRAY
        redefine
            items
        end

feature {NONE} -- Implementation

    items: ARRAYED_LIST[MY_JSON_VALUE]

end

instead of having to redefine everything because they are anchored types!

class MY_JSON_ARRAY

inherit
    JSON_ARRAY
        redefine
            items,
            put,
            ......
        end

feature {NONE} -- Implementation

    items: ARRAYED_LIST[MY_JSON_VALUE]

end

Ad what would be the additional value of MY_JSON_VALUE ?

None, actually I almost finished a pull request integrating the needs (or mines @least) for SCOOP integration. I'm in the process of testing them and will write you once done.

MY_JSON_VALUE was done only in the case no changes could have been done to JSON_VALUE
