Circe YAML framework in the Java Library
Circe is a popular YAML library that can analyze and process YAML files in Java applications.This article will introduce how to use the Circe framework in the Java library and provide some practical code examples.
Before using Circe, you need to add the following dependencies to the pom.xml file of the Java project:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.circe</groupId>
<artifactId>circe-yaml_2.13</artifactId>
<version>0.14.1</version>
</dependency>
Next, you can use the following code fragment to load and analyze the Yaml file:
import io.circe.yaml.parser;
public class CirceYamlDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String yamlContent = // Get YAML content from files or other sources
// Analyze yaml content
Either<Error, Object> result = parser.parse(yamlContent);
// Check whether the analysis is successful
if (result.isRight()) {
Object yamlObject = result.right().get();
// Operate the data after the parsing
} else {
Error error = result.left().get();
// Treatment analysis error
}
}
}
In the above example, we used the `PARSE` method of` IO.Circe.yaml.parser` to resolve YAML content.After the analysis, you can obtain the parsed YAML data from the returned `Either` object, or process the errors that may occur in the resolution.
The analysis of YAML data can perform different operations according to its structure, such as obtaining values of specific properties or performing type conversion.Here are some examples of these operations using Circe:
// Assume that Yaml data has been parsed and stored in variables named yamlobject
// Get the value of the top layer attribute
if (yamlObject.isObject()) {
JsonObject jsonObject = yamlObject.asObject();
Option<Json> valueOption = jsonObject.get("propertyKey");
if (valueOption.isDefined()) {
Json propertyValue = valueOption.get();
// Use the obtained value for follow -up operation
}
}
// Convert yaml data to objects of a specific type
Decoder<Person> personDecoder = Decoder.instance(b -> (
b.downField("name").as[String].map(Person::new)
))
Either<ParsingFailure, Person> personResult = parser.parse(yamlContent)
.flatMap(personDecoder.decodeJson)
// Check whether the conversion is successful
if (personResult.isRight()) {
Person person = personResult.right().get();
// Use the conversion object for follow -up operation
} else {
ParsingFailure failure = personResult.left().get();
// Processing conversion failure
}
class Person {
private String name;
public Person(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
In the above code example, we first use the `jsonObject` class to obtain the value of the specific attribute of the YAML object.Then, we define a custom decoder `PersondDecoder` to convert YAML data into a custom` Person` object.Finally, we use the `Decodejson` method to apply the parsed YAML data to the decoder.
I hope this usage guide can help you use the Circe framework in the Java library to parse and process YAML files.
