Server.DataSourceData Encoding.
This module is responsible for marshaling and demarshaling data to handle communications between the server and the client in both directions.
Each datatype must be equipped with functions to encode and decode values to/from JSON format. Moreover, data types shall be also properly documented and registered in the generated documentation of the Frama-C server.
Generally speaking, we will have a module with signature Data.D for every datatype to be exchanged with the server. For simple values, predefined modules are already provided. More complex datatypes can be built with some functors, typically for options, lists or arrays.
Records and enumerated types are typical in JSON formatting, but difficult to build from OCaml records and abstract datatypes. For those kinds of data, we provide an API based on the following general scheme:
Hence, in addition to module signature Data.S for values, there is also a polymorphic type 'a Data.data for module values carrying a data module with type t = 'a.
The same mechanism is used throughout modules States and Request each time a JSON record or tag is needed.
All-in-one formatter. Return the JSON encoding of formatted text.
Declare the derived names for the provided type. Shall not be used directely.
val declare :
package:Package.package ->
name:string ->
?descr:Frama_c_kernel.Markdown.text ->
Package.jtype ->
Package.jtypeDeclare a new type and returns its alias. Same as Jdata (declare_id ~package ~name (D_type js)). Automatically declare the derived names.
These datatypes automatically index complex values with unique identifiers. This avoids to encode the internal OCaml representation of each value, by only providing to the server a unique identifier for each value.
These datatype functors come into three flavors:
Index() for projectified datatypes,Static() for project independant datatypes,Identified() for projectified values already identified by integers.Tagged() for projectified values already identified by strings.Builds an indexer that does not depend on current project.
Builds a projectified index.
Datatype already identified by unique integers.

These utilities shall be used when writing your own encoding and decoding values to JSON format.
