defprotocol Jason.Encoder do
@moduledoc """
Protocol controlling how a value is encoded to JSON.
## Deriving
The protocol allows leveraging the Elixir's `@derive` feature
to simplify protocol implementation in trivial cases. Accepted
options are:
* `:only` - encodes only values of specified keys.
* `:except` - encodes all struct fields except specified keys.
By default all keys except the `:__struct__` key are encoded.
## Example
Let's assume a presence of the following struct:
defmodule Test do
defstruct [:foo, :bar, :baz]
end
If we were to call `@derive Jason.Encoder` just before `defstruct`,
an implementation similar to the following implementation would be generated:
defimpl Jason.Encoder, for: Test do
def encode(value, opts) do
Jason.Encode.map(Map.take(value, [:foo, :bar, :baz]), opts)
end
end
If we called `@derive {Jason.Encoder, only: [:foo]}`, an implementation
similar to the following implementation would be generated:
defimpl Jason.Encoder, for: Test do
def encode(value, opts) do
Jason.Encode.map(Map.take(value, [:foo]), opts)
end
end
If we called `@derive {Jason.Encoder, except: [:foo]}`, an implementation
similar to the following implementation would be generated:
defimpl Jason.Encoder, for: Test do
def encode(value, opts) do
Jason.Encode.map(Map.take(value, [:bar, :baz]), opts)
end
end
The actually generated implementations are more efficient computing some data
during compilation similar to the macros from the `Jason.Helpers` module.
## Explicit implementation
If you wish to implement the protocol fully yourself, it is advised to
use functions from the `Jason.Encode` module to do the actual iodata
generation - they are highly optimized and verified to always produce
valid JSON.

The argument `opts` is opaque - it can be passed to various functions in
`Jason.Encode` (or to the protocol function itself) for encoding values to JSON.
