JSON

Notice: Some of the examples below are referenced from ClickHouse Documentation but have been adapted and modified to work in ByConity.

JSONExtract

Parses a JSON and extract a value of the given ByConity data type. This is a generalization of the previous JSONExtract<type> functions. This means JSONExtract(..., 'String') returns exactly the same as JSONExtractString() , JSONExtract(..., 'Float64') returns exactly the same as JSONExtractFloat() .

Syntax

JSONExtract(json[, indices_or_keys…], Return_type)

Arguments

json – json string.
indices_or_keys - is a list of zero or more arguments each of them can be either string or integer.
- String = access object member by key.
- Positive integer = access the n-th member/key from the beginning.
- Negative integer = access the n-th member/key from the end.
- Minimum index of the element is 1. Thus the element 0 does not exist.
- You may use integers to access both JSON arrays and JSON objects.
Return_type – ByConity data type.

Returned value

Extracted value of the given ByConity data type.

SELECT JSONExtract('{"a": "hello", "b": [-100, 200.0, 300]}', 'Tuple(String, Array(Float64))')

There is currently no support for code points in the format \uXXXX\uYYYY that are not from the basic multilingual plane (they are converted to CESU-8 instead of UTF-8).

The following functions are based on simdjson designed for more complex JSON parsing requirements. The assumption 2 mentioned above still applies.

visitParamExtractUInt

Parses UInt64 from the value of the field named name . If this is a string field, it tries to parse a number from the beginning of the string. If the field does not exist, or it exists but does not contain a number, it returns 0.

Syntax

Arguments

params – json string.
