* Support JSON negative array subscripts everywhereAndrew Dunstan2015-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, there was an inconsistency across json/jsonb operators that operate on datums containing JSON arrays -- only some operators supported negative array count-from-the-end subscripting. Specifically, only a new-to-9.5 jsonb deletion operator had support (the new "jsonb - integer" operator). This inconsistency seemed likely to be counter-intuitive to users. To fix, allow all places where the user can supply an integer subscript to accept a negative subscript value, including path-orientated operators and functions, as well as other extraction operators. This will need to be called out as an incompatibility in the 9.5 release notes, since it's possible that users are relying on certain established extraction operators changed here yielding NULL in the event of a negative subscript. For the json type, this requires adding a way of cheaply getting the total JSON array element count ahead of time when parsing arrays with a negative subscript involved, necessitating an ad-hoc lex and parse. This is followed by a "conversion" from a negative subscript to its equivalent positive-wise value using the count. From there on, it's as if a positive-wise value was originally provided. Note that there is still a minor inconsistency here across jsonb deletion operators. Unlike the aforementioned new "-" deletion operator that accepts an integer on its right hand side, the new "#-" path orientated deletion variant does not throw an error when it appears like an array subscript (input that could be recognized by as an integer literal) is being used on an object, which is wrong-headed. The reason for not being stricter is that it could be the case that an object pair happens to have a key value that looks like an integer; in general, these two possibilities are impossible to differentiate with rhs path text[] argument elements. However, we still don't allow the "#-" path-orientated deletion operator to perform array-style subscripting. Rather, we just return the original left operand value in the event of a negative subscript (which seems analogous to how the established "jsonb/json #> text[]" path-orientated operator may yield NULL in the event of an invalid subscript). In passing, make SetArrayPath() stricter about not accepting cases where there is trailing non-numeric garbage bytes rather than a clean NUL byte. This means, for example, that strings like "10e10" are now not accepted as an array subscript of 10 by some new-to-9.5 path-orientated jsonb operators (e.g. the new #- operator). Finally, remove dead code for jsonb subscript deletion; arguably, this should have been done in commit b81c7b409. Peter Geoghegan and Andrew Dunstan

* Fix hstore_to_json_loose's detection of valid JSON number values.Andrew Dunstan2014-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | We expose a function IsValidJsonNumber that internally calls the lexer for json numbers. That allows us to use the same test everywhere, instead of inventing a broken test for hstore conversions. The new function is also used in datum_to_json, replacing the code that is now moved to the new function. Backpatch to 9.3 where hstore_to_json_loose was introduced.
* Avoid some pnstrdup()s when constructing jsonbHeikki Linnakangas2014-05-09
| | | | | This speeds up text to jsonb parsing and hstore to jsonb conversions somewhat.
* pgindent run for 9.4Bruce Momjian2014-05-06
| | | | | This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

* Introduce jsonb, a structured format for storing json.Andrew Dunstan2014-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new format accepts exactly the same data as the json type. However, it is stored in a format that does not require reparsing the orgiginal text in order to process it, making it much more suitable for indexing and other operations. Insignificant whitespace is discarded, and the order of object keys is not preserved. Neither are duplicate object keys kept - the later value for a given key is the only one stored. The new type has all the functions and operators that the json type has, with the exception of the json generation functions (to_json, json_agg etc.) and with identical semantics. In addition, there are operator classes for hash and btree indexing, and two classes for GIN indexing, that have no equivalent in the json type. This feature grew out of previous work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, which was intended to provide similar facilities to a nested hstore type, but which in the end proved to have some significant compatibility issues.

* Update copyright for 2014Bruce Momjian2014-01-07
| | | | | Update all files in head, and files COPYRIGHT and legal.sgml in all back branches.
* Clean up new JSON API typedefsPeter Eisentraut2013-07-20
| | | | | | | The new JSON API uses a bit of an unusual typedef scheme, where for example OkeysState is a pointer to okeysState. And that's not applied consistently either. Change that to the more usual PostgreSQL style where struct typedefs are upper case, and use pointers explicitly.
* pgindent run for release 9.3Bruce Momjian2013-05-29
| | | | | This is the first run of the Perl-based pgindent script. Also update pgindent instructions.
* Add new JSON processing functions and parser API.Andrew Dunstan2013-03-29
The JSON parser is converted into a recursive descent parser, and exposed for use by other modules such as extensions. The API provides hooks for all the significant parser event such as the beginning and end of objects and arrays, and providing functions to handle these hooks allows for fairly simple construction of a wide variety of JSON processing functions. A set of new basic processing functions and operators is also added, which use this API, including operations to extract array elements, object fields, get the length of arrays and the set of keys of a field, deconstruct an object into a set of key/value pairs, and create records from JSON objects and arrays of objects. Catalog version bumped. Andrew Dunstan, with some documentation assistance from Merlin Moncure.
