Class ToonReader

java.lang.Object
com.cedarsoftware.io.ToonReader
public class ToonReader extends Object
Parse TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) format into JsonObject structures.

ToonReader produces the same JsonObject/Object[]/primitive structures as JsonParser, allowing seamless integration with the existing Resolver infrastructure for type conversion.

TOON format characteristics:

  • Indentation-based structure (2 spaces = 1 level)
  • key: value syntax for objects
  • Inline arrays: [N]: elem1,elem2,elem3
  • List arrays: [N]: followed by - elem lines
  • Minimal quoting (only when necessary)
  • 5 escape sequences: \\, \", \n, \r, \t
