Stuff on my research list thanks to Martijn Laarman (@Mpdreamz)

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/02/08

Quite some time ago, I attended a great introductory elasticsearch/kibana workshop by Martijn Laarman (@Mpdreamz, github.com/Mpdreamz and SO martijn-laarman) that lead me into researching a lot of interesting new things:

Sending various HTTP request kinds using curl

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/25

I’ve been using cURL but always had a feeling not to its potential basically because the cURL man page [WayBack] is both massive and lacks concrete useful practical examples.

For instance, I knew about the --header and --verbose options (I always use verbose names even though shorter -H and -v exist) to pass a specific header and get verbose output, but the man page basic examples like this by Tader:

curl --header --verbose "X-MyHeader: 123" http://www.google.com

source: How to send a header using a HTTP request through a curl call? – Stack Overflow [WayBack]

There are some more examples at bropages.org/curl but they’re hardly organised or documented.

So I was really glad I found the below answer [WayBack] by Amith Koujalgi to web services – HTTP POST and GET using cURL in Linux – Stack Overflow.

But first note that recent versions (around 7.22 or higher) of cURL now need to combine the --silent and --show-error (or in short -sS) parameters to suppress progress but show errors: linux – How do I get cURL to not show the progress bar? – Stack Overflow [WayBack]

Back to the examples

Bash that JSON (with jq) — Librato Blog

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/04/18

 Glueing together APIs requires working with JSON: parsing it, extracting it, transforming it. JQ is a fast, lightweight, flexible, CLI JSON processor, that does the job well. Learn how to use it by getting your hands dirty with a JSON blob that represents the open issues in the public Docker GitHub repository.

JavaScript. Sigh. No real RegExp support. Sigh. Google Search results. Sigh.

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/03/01

Prologue

Every time I need to use JavaScript there’s this tiny voice in the back of my head “Please don’t”, for instance because of

JavaScript has two sets of equality operators: === and !==, and their evil twins == and !=.

Verify a URI in JavaScript with a Regular Expression using Google Search examples

This time it did it again: I used JavaScript. My need was to verify a basic URI in JavaScript, so I wrote this function based on RFC 3986 [WayBack] which in Appendix B has a nice regular expression: ^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?

function isValidUri(uri){
    var uriRegExPattern = "^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?";
    var uriRegEx = new RegExp(uriRegExPattern); 

    return (uriRegEx.test(uri));
}

It would crash. But JavaScript is JavaScript, so even a site like JSFiddle wouldn’t show an error (later I found out that enabling the console on http://jsbin.com/wamavacuco/edit?html,console,output does show the error in the console complete with stack trace).

nst/JSONTestSuite: A comprehensive test suite for RFC 7159 compliant JSON parsers

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/01

Cool: nst/JSONTestSuite: A comprehensive test suite for RFC 7159 compliant JSON parsers

Which is the result of the presentation seriot.ch – Parsing JSON is a Minefield 💣[WayBack]

Both the tests and presentation are well worth reading.

The graph gives me ambivalent feelings and make me wonder how various .NET and Delphi based JSON parsers stack up.

I wonder how Delphi and C# libraries stack up against these results especially since questions like What is the best JSON library to use for Delphi 10.1? To read and write JSON. – Godfrey Fletcher – Google+ [WayBack].

Hopefully the results by David Berneda will be published soon: I’ll do a quick test with TeeBI json import and the different libraries (System.Json, SuperObject etc)

Edit: Stefan Glienke mentioned he wrote a DUnit testsuite at http://pastebin.com/k5ktBxh9 [WayBack] that shows the built-in TJSONObject [WayBack] parser fails at least 25 of the tests.
