Ok, let me start with the sample code:

import std.stdio;
import std.json;

void main() {
scope(failure) writeln("FaILED!!");
string jsonStr = `{ "name": "1", "type": "r" }`;
auto parsed = parseJSON(jsonStr);
string s = parsed["fail"].str;
writeln(s == "");
writeln(s is null);
writeln(s);
}

Running "rdmd app.d" doesn't produce any output.
Can anyone explain such a behavior???


PS: Running dmd v2.065 on Linux x64.

It's a bug in std.json (you should get a segfault, not no output at all)

It is fixed now and I'm pretty sure it will be in 2.066

std.json has been improved a lot, but I would still recommend using http://vibed.org/api/vibe.data.json/ instead

perhaps "bug" is too strong a word, but it was a deficiency that is now corrected. You will get an exception thrown now and everything should work how you expect.

Maybe. But still it's not the way I expect, any time you check for non-existing property you must consider exception, which is very heavy to deal with in such a situation. I'd rather expect to get null, whenever I try to fetch non-existing property, and not an exception.

That's purely my point, and I don't claim to be right in this way. It's up to Phobos maintainers to decide how to reprent JSON parsing results.
