Murex-flavoured JSON (deprecated)
This format has been deprecated in favour of
%{}
constructors.
mxjson is an extension to JSON designed to integrate more seamlessly when use as a configuration file. Thus mxjson supports comments and Murex code blocks embedded into the JSON schema.
mxjson is a format that is pre-parsed into a valid JSON format.
mxjson isn’t a Murex data-type in that you cannot marshal and unmarshal mxjson files. Currently it is a format that is only supported by a small subset of Murex builtins (eg config
and autocomplete
) where config might embed Murex code blocks.
mxjson features the following enhancements:
Line comments are prefixed with a ‘hash’, #
, just like with regular Murex code.
Code blocks are quoted with (
, )
. For example, below “ExampleFunction” uses the ({ block quote })
method.
{
"ExampleFunction": ({
out "This is an example Murex function"
if { =1==2 } then {
err "The laws of the universe are broken"
}
})
}
Any block quoted by this method will be converted to the following valid JSON:
{
"ExampleFunction": "\n out \"This is an example Murex function\"\n if { =1==2 } then {\n err \"The laws of the universe are broken\"\n }"
}
