JsonLexer Class

public class JsonLexer : MergableLexerBase, IMergableLexer, ILexer, IKeyedObject

public JsonLexer()

public bool AreCommentsSupported { get; set; }

Property Value

bool:

true if comments can recognized and tokenized by the lexer; otherwise, false. The default value is false.

Remarks

Comments are not supported by standard JSON, and are therefore lexer support is not enabled by default. However JavaScript style comments are supported by Microsoft's JSONC (JSON with Comments) variant. Set this property to true to allow the lexer to recognize comment tokens.

public ILexicalStateCollection LexicalStates { get; }

Property Value

ILexicalStateCollection:

The collection of lexical states used by this lexer.

public override IEnumerable<ILexicalStateTransition> GetAllLexicalStateTransitions()

Returns

IEnumerable<ILexicalStateTransition>:

A collection containing all ILexicalStateTransition objects within the lexer.

Remarks

This method allows consumers to see which language transitions can be made within the lexer.
