Support for updating an object from a keypath/value? about moshi HOT 5 CLOSED

It should be a standalone thing!

(Neat though!)

@ryankennedyio if you're looking for something that might work better out of the box, I've used json-patch before in a similar application.

@sddamico Thanks, I have had that in mind for quite a while. Will bring up with the rest of the team, but they keypath encoding is nice because it's very compact (it's a system which needs to deal with pretty massive traffic spikes, so as few characters as possible for the network's sake is nice).

Thanks @swankjesse. After reading the initial docs from today, I was less hopeful about this magic bullet. I was hoping never to deal with org.JSONObject again :)

Could fork and have a go at implementing - but as you said, I don't think it's in line with the idea of this library.

Yup. You might experiment with TypeAdapters by adding APIs like this:

  public Object get(JsonPath path);
  public void set(JsonPath path, Object value);

For example, the map adapter would use the first segment of the path as its key, and then make a recursive call on that entry's value.
