Dear all,
I'm using Xtext 2.3 and would like to generate Json files out of a UML model (using ATL as M2M languange). The case where an object is empty (which is allowed by the Json Xtext grammar) renders exception message "Could not serialize EObject via backtracking". Seems to be an old issue, but I could still not figure out how to fix it, so any (carefully explained) hints are most welcome!
Thanks a lot!
/Andreas
Complete Xtext Grammar
import "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" as ecore
generate json "<url not allowed>"
Object:
'{'
(members+=Member)?
(',' members+=Member)*
'}'
;
Member:
key=STRING ':' value=Value;
Value:
Object |
StringValue |
Array |
Boolean |
Null |
Number
;
Array:
'[' (values+=Value)? (',' values+=Value)* ']';
StringValue:
value=(STRING);
Boolean:
'true' | 'false';
Null:
'null';
terminal Number:
'-'? INT? '.' INT (('E'|'e') '-'? INT)?;
