-- This datatype can represent all valid values that can be held in a JSON object.
-- In Elm, a proper JSON object is represented as a (Dict String Value) which is a mapping from strings to Json Values.

-- String Converters

-- Convert a proper JSON object into a string.
toString : Value -> String

-- Convert a proper JSON object into a prettified string.
-- The first argument is a separator token (e.g. \" \", \"\\n\", etc.) that will be used for indentation in the prettified string version of the JSON object.
toPrettyString : String -> Value -> String
toPrettyString sep v = JS.toString (Native.toPrettyJSString sep v)

-- Convert a proper JSON object into a JavaScript string.
-- Note that the type JSString seen here is not the same as the type constructor JsonString used elsewhere in this module.

toJSString v = Native.toPrettyJSString "" v

-- Parse a string representation of a proper JSON object into its Elm's representation.

-- Parse a JavaScript string representation of a proper JSON object into its Elm's representation.

-- Extract Elm values from dictionaries of Json values

-- Find a value in a Json Object using the passed get function. If the key is not found, this returns the given default/base value.

-- Find a string value in an Elm Json object. If the key is not found or the value found is not a string, this returns the empty string.

-- Find a number value in an Elm Json object. If the key is not found or the value found is not a number, this returns 0
findNumber : String -> Dict String Value -> Float

-- Find a boolean value in an Elm Json object. If the key is not found or the value found is not a boolean, this returns the False.
findBoolean : String -> Dict String Value -> Bool
findBoolean = find boolean False

-- Find an array value in an Elm Json object. If the key is not found or the value found is not an array, this returns an empty list.
findArray : String -> Dict String Value -> [Value]

-- Find an object value in an Elm Json object. If the key is not found or the value found is not an object, this returns an empty object.
