JSON

chimera supports requests and responses with JSON bodies via these classes:

• JSONRequest[Body, Params any]: JSON request with Body type being parsed via encoding/json and Params type being parsed via chimera.UnmarshalParams
• JSONResponse[Body, Params any]: JSON response with Body type being marshaled via encoding/json and Params type being marshaled via chimera.MarshalParams
• JSON[Body, Params any]: represents both JSONRequest[Body, Params any] and JSONResponse[Body, Params any]

Essentially, you just need to provide any valid JSON type for Body and any struct with param tags for Params and the object is structured like so:

type JSON[Body, Params any] struct {
	Body    Body
	Params  Params
}

so the parsed body ends up in Body and parsed params end up in Params.

Usage

An example of how to use JSON in chimera is:

type RequestBody struct {
    S string `json:"s" jsonschema:"description='some property'"`
}

type RequestParams struct {
    P string `param:"p,in=path"
}

type ResponseBody struct {
    I int `json:"i"`
}

type ResponseParams struct {
    H string `param:"h,in=header" 
}

chimera.Post(api, "/route/{path}", func(req *chimera.JSON[RequestBody, RequestParams]) (*chimera.JSON[ResponseBody, ResponseParams], error) {
    // req contains an already parsed JSON body
    // any returned response will be marshaled as JSON before writing the body
    return nil, nil
})
