Hey! I've rebuilt the JSON path parser to make it easier to maintain and
catch more edge cases.
Main stuff:
- Removed pest dependency in favor of hand-written parser
- Better memory usage (pre-allocates space, use Cow)
- Handles quoted keys properly now
- Added tests for weird edge cases
- Added PPState (Shoutout ThePrimeagen)
Closes#970
First review #820
The function follows RFC 7386 JSON Merge Patch semantics:
* If the patch is null, the target is replaced with null
* If the patch contains a scalar value, the target is replaced with that
value
* If both target and patch are objects, the patch is recursively applied
* null values in the patch result in property removal from the target
Closes#821
Change JSON deserialization to enable json_patch implementation with
SQLite-compatible behavior:
* Preserves duplicate keys in JSON objects
* Applies patches only to the first occurrence of each key
* Trade-off: Changes key lookup from O(1) to O(n) to support duplicate
keys
* Have to be merged before json_patch() function
Closes#820
Json serialization logic was pulled from serde_json. Google's json5
serialization code was not flexible enough to allow for pretty printing
json, so I believe that the formatter design is a good layer to abstract
this logic. This refactor will trivially enable the implementation of
json_pretty function from sqlite. My other PR for json_quote, #763,
depends a tiny bit on a helper utility from the previous serialization
implementation. If this PR is considered first, I will change the code
in my other PR to account for this.

Closes#771
Relates to #127. This PR is still in draft and I have a few left things
to do (tests, improve implementation), just opening it so anyone can
track this work meanwhile.
Closes#664
