playjsonsnake Apache 2 badge

playjsonsnake is a micro-library that adds snake case support to play-json, the JSON library in Play.

Setup

Add this to your sbt build definitions, such as in build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "com.beamly" %% "playjsonsnake" % "1.0.1"

For other build systems see the dependency information on Maven Central:

How to Use

Wrap play-json's OFormat (such as one returned by Json.format) with SnakeCaseJson.format.

The returned OFormat will serialise to and deserialise from snake case JSON field names:

scala> :pa
// Entering paste mode (ctrl-D to finish)

import playjsonsnake._
import play.api.libs.json._

final case class Foo(i: Int, abcDefGhi: Int)
object Foo {
  implicit val jsonFormat: OFormat[Foo] = SnakeCaseJson.format(Json.format[Foo])
}

// Exiting paste mode, now interpreting.

import playjsonsnake._
import play.api.libs.json._
defined class Foo
defined object Foo

scala> Json toJson Foo(123, 456)
res0: play.api.libs.json.JsValue = {"i":123,"abc_def_ghi":456}

scala> Json.fromJson[Foo](Json parse """{ "i" : 123, "abc_def_ghi" : 456 }""")
res1: play.api.libs.json.JsResult[Foo] = JsSuccess(Foo(123,456),)

There are also wrappers for Reads and OWrites, in the form of SnakeCaseJson.reads and SnakeCaseJson.writes.
