Description

Parse raw JSON strings into JSON binary format. To meet different exception data processing requirements, different JSON_PARSE series functions are provided, as follows:

• JSON_PARSE Parse JSON strings. When the input string is not a valid JSON string, an error is reported.
• JSON_PARSE_ERROR_TO_NULL Parse JSON strings. When the input string is not a valid JSON string, return NULL.
• JSON_PARSE_ERROR_TO_VALUE Parse JSON strings. When the input string is not a valid JSON string, return the default value specified by the parameter default_json_value.

Syntax

JSON_PARSE (<json_str>)

JSON_PARSE_ERROR_TO_NULL (<json_str>)

JSON_PARSE_ERROR_TO_VALUE (<json_str>, <default_json_value>)

Parameters

Required Parameters

• <json_str> String type, whose content should be a valid JSON string.

Optional Parameters

• <default_json_value> JSON type, can be NULL. When <json_str> parsing fails, <default_json_value> is returned as the default value.

Return Value

Nullable<JSON> Returns the parsed JSON object.

Usage Notes

1. If <json_str> is NULL, the result is also NULL.
2. JSON_PARSE/JSON_PARSE_ERROR_TO_NULL/JSON_PARSE_ERROR_TO_VALUE have basically the same behavior, except that the results obtained when parsing fails are different.

Examples

1. Normal JSON string parsing

   SELECT json_parse('{"k1":"v31","k2":300}');
   

   +-------------------------------------+
   | json_parse('{"k1":"v31","k2":300}') |
   +-------------------------------------+
   | {"k1":"v31","k2":300}               |
   +-------------------------------------+
   

   SELECT json_parse_error_to_null('{"k1":"v31","k2":300}');
   

   +---------------------------------------------------+
   | json_parse_error_to_null('{"k1":"v31","k2":300}') |
   +---------------------------------------------------+
   | {"k1":"v31","k2":300}                             |
   +---------------------------------------------------+
   

   SELECT json_parse_error_to_value('{"k1":"v31","k2":300}','{}');
   

   +---------------------------------------------------------+
   | json_parse_error_to_value('{"k1":"v31","k2":300}','{}') |
   +---------------------------------------------------------+
   | {"k1":"v31","k2":300}                                   |
   +---------------------------------------------------------+
   

   SELECT json_parse_error_to_value('{"k1":"v31","k2":300}', NULL);
   

   +----------------------------------------------------------+
   | json_parse_error_to_value('{"k1":"v31","k2":300}', NULL) |
   +----------------------------------------------------------+
   | {"k1":"v31","k2":300}                                    |
   +----------------------------------------------------------+
   

2. Invalid JSON string parsing

   SELECT json_parse('invalid json');
   

   ERROR 1105 (HY000): errCode = 2, detailMessage = [INVALID_ARGUMENT]Parse json document failed at row 0, error: [INTERNAL_ERROR]simdjson parse exception:
   

   SELECT json_parse_error_to_null('invalid json');
   

   +------------------------------------------+
   | json_parse_error_to_null('invalid json') |
   +------------------------------------------+
   | NULL                                     |
   +------------------------------------------+
   

   SELECT json_parse_error_to_value('invalid json');
   

   +-------------------------------------------+
   | json_parse_error_to_value('invalid json') |
   +-------------------------------------------+
   | {}                                        |
   +-------------------------------------------+
   

   SELECT json_parse_error_to_value('invalid json', '{"key": "default value"}');
   

   +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | json_parse_error_to_value('invalid json', '{"key": "default value"}') |
   +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | {"key":"default value"}                                               |
   +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
   

   SELECT json_parse_error_to_value('invalid json', NULL);
   

   +-------------------------------------------------+
   | json_parse_error_to_value('invalid json', NULL) |
   +-------------------------------------------------+
   | NULL                                            |
   +-------------------------------------------------+
   

3. NULL parameters

   SELECT json_parse(NULL);
   

   +------------------+
   | json_parse(NULL) |
   +------------------+
   | NULL             |
   +------------------+
   

   SELECT json_parse_error_to_null(NULL);
   

   +--------------------------------+
   | json_parse_error_to_null(NULL) |
   +--------------------------------+
   | NULL                           |
   +--------------------------------+
   

   SELECT json_parse_error_to_value(NULL, '{}');
   

   +---------------------------------------+
   | json_parse_error_to_value(NULL, '{}') |
   +---------------------------------------+
   | NULL                                  |
   +---------------------------------------+
