* fix(vim.json)!: remove global options, "null", "array_mt" #24070Justin M. Keyes2023-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: - `vim.json` exposes various global options which: - affect all Nvim Lua plugins (especially the LSP client) - are undocumented and untested - can cause confusing problems such as: https://github.com/codota/tabnine-nvim/commit/cc76ae3abe2f129d44b5a8edee2529e0ee0dcf69 - `vim.json` exposes redundant mechanisms: - `vim.json.null` is redundant with `vim.NIL`. - `array_mt` is redundant because Nvim uses a metatable (`vim.empty_dict()`) for empty dict instead, which `vim.json` is configured to use by default (see `as_empty_dict`). Example: ``` :lua vim.print(vim.json.decode('{"bar":[],"foo":{}}')) --> { bar = {}, foo = vim.empty_dict() } ``` Thus we don't need to also decorate empty arrays with `array_mt`. Solution: Remove the functions from the public vim.json interface. Comment-out the implementation code to minimize drift from upstream. TODO: - Expose the options as arguments to `vim.json.new()`
* test: add tests for vim.jsonMichael Lingelbach2021-09-26
