Module Jsonxt.Extended

Extended supports parsing and writing JSON data that conforms to the Json.Extended.json json type. This supports non-standard JSON types including integer as well as tuples and variants introduced by Yojson.

The maximim/minimum size of an integer is architecture specific, typically 30 or 62 bits depending on the platform. In cases where the integer overflows the value is converted to a `Float. For integers in the range (+/-)2^53 there is no loss of precision

type json = Json.Extended.json
type t = json

Reader functions

include Jsonxt__.Reader_string_file.Reader_string_file with type json := json
type json
val json_of_string : string -> (json, string) Stdlib.result
