namespace capnp {

class JsonCodec {
  // Flexible class for encoding Cap'n Proto types as JSON, and decoding JSON back to Cap'n Proto.
  //
  // Typical usage:
  //
  //     JsonCodec json;
  //
  //     // encode
  //     kj::String encoded = json.encode(someStructReader);
  //
  //     // decode
  //     json.decode(encoded, someStructBuilder);
  //
  // Advanced users can do fancy things like override the way certain types or fields are
  // represented in JSON by registering handlers. See the unit test for an example.
  //
  // Notes:
  // - When encoding, all primitive fields are always encoded, even if default-valued. Pointer
  //   fields are only encoded if they are non-null.
  // - 64-bit integers are encoded as strings, since JSON "numbers" are double-precision floating
  //   points which cannot store a 64-bit integer without losing data.
  // - NaNs and infinite floating point numbers are not allowed by the JSON spec, and so are encoded
  //   as null. This matches the behavior of `JSON.stringify` in at least Firefox and Chrome.
  // - Data is encoded as an array of numbers in the range [0,255]. You probably want to register
  //   a handler that does something better, like maybe base64 encoding, but there are a zillion
  //   different ways people do this.
  // - Encoding/decoding capabilities and AnyPointers requires registering a Handler, since there's
  //   no obvious default behavior.
  // - When decoding, unrecognized field names are ignored. Note: This means that JSON is NOT a
  //   good format for receiving input from a human. Consider `capnp eval` or the SchemaParser
  //   library for human input.

  void setPrettyPrint(bool enabled);

  // Encode any Cap'n Proto value to JSON, including primitives and
  // Dynamic{Enum,Struct,List,Capability}, but not DynamicValue (see below).

  kj::String encode(DynamicValue::Reader value, Type type) const;
  // Encode a DynamicValue to JSON. `type` is needed because `DynamicValue` itself does
  // not distinguish between e.g. int32 and int64, which in JSON are handled differently. Most
  // of the time, though, you can use the single-argument templated version of `encode()` instead.

  void decode(kj::ArrayPtr<const char> input, DynamicStruct::Builder output) const;
  // Decode JSON text directly into a struct builder. This only works for structs since lists
  // need to be allocated with the correct size in advance.
  //
  // (Remember that any Cap'n Proto struct reader type can be implicitly cast to
  // DynamicStruct::Reader.)

  template <typename T>
  Orphan<T> decode(kj::ArrayPtr<const char> input, Orphanage orphanage) const;
  // Decode JSON text to any Cap'n Proto object (pointer value), allocated using the given
  // orphanage. T must be specified explicitly and cannot be dynamic, e.g.:
  //
  //     Orphan<MyType> orphan = json.decode<MyType>(text, orphanage);

  template <typename T>
  ReaderFor<T> decode(kj::ArrayPtr<const char> input) const;
  // Decode JSON text into a primitive or capability value. T must be specified explicitly and
  // cannot be dynamic, e.g.:
  //
  //     uint32_t n = json.decode<uint32_t>(text);

  // specializing particular types

  template <typename T, Style s = style<T>()>
  class Handler;
  // Implement this interface to specify a special encoding for a particular type or field.
  //
  // The templates are a bit ugly, but subclasses of this type essentially implement two methods,
  // one to encode values of this type and one to decode values of this type. `encode()` is simple:
  //
  //   void encode(const JsonCodec& codec, ReaderFor<T> input, JsonValue::Builder output) const;
  //
  // `decode()` is a bit trickier. When T is a struct (including DynamicStruct), it is:
  //
  //   void decode(const JsonCodec& codec, JsonValue::Reader input, BuilderFor<T> output) const;
  //
  // However, when T is a primitive, decode() is:
  //
  //   T decode(const JsonCodec& codec, JsonValue::Reader input) const;
  //
  // Or when T is any non-struct object (list, blob), decode() is:
  //
  //   Orphan<T> decode(const JsonCodec& codec, JsonValue::Reader input, Orphanage orphanage) const;
  //
  // Or when T is an interface:
  //
  //   T::Client decode(const JsonCodec& codec, JsonValue::Reader input) const;
  //
  // Additionally, when T is a struct you can *optionally* also implement the orphan-returning form
  // of decode(), but it will only be called when the struct would be allocated as an individual
  // object, not as part of a list. This allows you to return "nullptr" in these cases to say that
  // the pointer value should be null. This does not apply to list elements because struct list
  // elements cannot ever be null (since Cap'n Proto encodes struct lists as a flat list rather
  // than list-of-pointers).
