JSON Plug-in

At the moment the plug-in can be used for merge generic JSON files depending on the merge strategy defined at the templates.

Merger extensions

There are currently these merge strategies:

Generic JSON Merge

• merge strategy jsonmerge(add the new code respecting the existent is case of conflict)

• merge strategy jsonmerge_override (add the new code overwriting the existent in case of conflict)

  1. JsonArray’s will be ignored / replaced in total

  2. JsonObjects in conflict will be processed recursively ignoring adding non existent elements.

Merge Process

Generic JSON Merging

The merge process will be:

1. Add non existent JSON Objects from patch file to base file.

2. For existent object in both files, will add non existent keys from patch to base object. This process will be done recursively for all existent objects.

3. For JSON Arrays existent in both files, the arrays will be just concatenated.
