Functions

Delta Compression

These functions implement a fairly-efficient "delta" encoding that encapsulates the changes needed to transform one Fleece value into another.

The delta is expressed in JSON form.

A delta can be stored or transmitted as an efficient way to produce the second value, when the first is already present. Deltas are frequently used in version-control systems and efficient network protocols.

FLEECE_PUBLIC FLSliceResult FLCreateJSONDelta (FLValue FL_NULLABLE old, FLValue FL_NULLABLE nuu)
 Returns JSON that encodes the changes to turn the value old into nuu. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC bool FLEncodeJSONDelta (FLValue FL_NULLABLE old, FLValue FL_NULLABLE nuu, FLEncoder jsonEncoder)
 Writes JSON that describes the changes to turn the value old into nuu. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLSliceResult FLApplyJSONDelta (FLValue FL_NULLABLE old, FLSlice jsonDelta, FLError *FL_NULLABLE outError)
 Applies the JSON data created by CreateJSONDelta to the value old, which must be equal to the old value originally passed to FLCreateJSONDelta, and returns a Fleece document equal to the original nuu value. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC bool FLEncodeApplyingJSONDelta (FLValue FL_NULLABLE old, FLSlice jsonDelta, FLEncoder encoder)
 Applies the (parsed) JSON data created by CreateJSONDelta to the value old, which must be equal to the old value originally passed to FLCreateJSONDelta, and writes the corresponding nuu value to the encoder. More...
 
Parsing Fleece Data Directly
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLValue FL_NULLABLE FLValue_FromData (FLSlice data, FLTrust trust) FLPURE
 Returns a pointer to the root value in the encoded data, or NULL if validation failed. More...
 
JSON
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLStringResult FLJSON5_ToJSON (FLString json5, FLStringResult *FL_NULLABLE outErrorMessage, size_t *FL_NULLABLE outErrorPos, FLError *FL_NULLABLE outError)
 Converts valid JSON5 https://json5.org to JSON. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLSliceResult FLData_ConvertJSON (FLSlice json, FLError *FL_NULLABLE outError)
 Directly converts JSON data to Fleece-encoded data. More...
 
Encoder
FLEECE_PUBLIC void FLEncoder_Amend (FLEncoder e, FLSlice base, bool reuseStrings, bool externPointers)
 Tells the encoder to logically append to the given Fleece document, rather than making a standalone document. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLSlice FLEncoder_GetBase (FLEncoder)
 Returns the base value passed to FLEncoder_Amend. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC void FLEncoder_SuppressTrailer (FLEncoder)
 Tells the encoder not to write the two-byte Fleece trailer at the end of the data. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC size_t FLEncoder_GetNextWritePos (FLEncoder)
 Returns the byte offset in the encoded data where the next value will be written. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC intptr_t FLEncoder_LastValueWritten (FLEncoder)
 Returns an opaque reference to the last complete value written to the encoder, if possible. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC void FLEncoder_WriteValueAgain (FLEncoder, intptr_t preWrittenValue)
 Writes another reference (a "pointer") to an already-written value, given a reference previously returned from FLEncoder_LastValueWritten. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLSliceResult FLEncoder_Snip (FLEncoder)
 Returns the data written so far as a standalone Fleece document, whose root is the last value written. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC size_t FLEncoder_FinishItem (FLEncoder)
 Finishes encoding the current item, and returns its offset in the output data. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC void FLJSONEncoder_NextDocument (FLEncoder)
 In a JSON encoder, adds a newline ('
') and prepares to start encoding another top-level object. More...
 
Debugging Functions
FLEECE_PUBLIC const char *FL_NULLABLE FLDump (FLValue FL_NULLABLE)
 Debugging function that returns a C string of JSON. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC const char *FL_NULLABLE FLDumpData (FLSlice data)
 Debugging function that parses Fleece data and returns a C string of JSON. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLStringResult FLData_Dump (FLSlice data)
 Produces a human-readable dump of Fleece-encoded data. More...
 

Shared Keys

FLSharedKeys represents a mapping from short strings to small integers in the range [0...2047].

It's used by FLDict to abbreviate dictionary keys. A shared key can be stored in a fixed two bytes and is faster to compare against. However, the same mapping has to be used when encoding and when accessing the Dict.

To use shared keys: Call FLSharedKeys_New to create a new empty mapping. After creating an FLEncoder, call FLEncoder_SetSharedKeys so dictionary keys will be added to the mapping and written in integer form. When loading Fleece data, use FLDoc_FromResultData and pass the FLSharedKeys as a parameter. Save the mapping somewhere by calling FLSharedKeys_GetStateData or FLSharedKeys_WriteState. You can later reconstitute the mapping by calling FLSharedKeys_LoadStateData or FLSharedKeys_LoadState on a new empty instance.

typedef bool(* FLSharedKeysReadCallback) (void *FL_NULLABLE context, FLSharedKeys)
 
typedef struct _FLSharedKeyScope * FLSharedKeyScope
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLSharedKeys FLSharedKeys_New (void)
 Creates a new empty FLSharedKeys object, which must eventually be released. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLSharedKeys FLSharedKeys_NewWithRead (FLSharedKeysReadCallback, void *FL_NULLABLE context)
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC FLSliceResult FLSharedKeys_GetStateData (FLSharedKeys)
 Returns a data blob containing the current state (all the keys and their integers.) More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC bool FLSharedKeys_LoadStateData (FLSharedKeys, FLSlice)
 Updates an FLSharedKeys with saved state data created by FLSharedKeys_GetStateData. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC void FLSharedKeys_WriteState (FLSharedKeys, FLEncoder)
 Writes the current state to a Fleece encoder as a single value, which can later be decoded and passed to FLSharedKeys_LoadState. More...
 
FLEECE_PUBLIC bool FLSharedKeys_LoadState (FLSharedKeys, FLValue)
 Updates an FLSharedKeys object with saved state, a Fleece value previously written by FLSharedKeys_WriteState. More...
