llmjson 0.2.1 (2026-09-03)

• fix url redirect

llmjson 0.2.0

Bug fixes

• repair_json_str() no longer silently swallows unrepairable JSON and returns "{}"/NULL on failure — it now raises a proper R error, consistent with repair_json_file() and repair_json_raw().
• Fixed a CRAN check NOTE about calling non-API R entry points (R_NamespaceRegistry) by upgrading the vendored Rust extendr-api dependency to 0.9.0.

Other changes

• Added Windows ARM64 (aarch64-pc-windows-gnullvm) build support and CI coverage.
• Removed unused internal Rust code (JsonRepairError::UnrepairableJson, RepairOptions::return_objects, RepairOptions::stream_stable) that had no effect on behavior.

llmjson 0.1.0 (2026-03-11)

Initial Release

• Thin wrapper around the Rust crate llm_json for repairing malformed JSON strings, particularly those generated by Large Language Models

Core Features

JSON Repair Functions

• repair_json_str() - Repair malformed JSON strings

  • Handles missing quotes around keys and values
  • Removes trailing commas
  • Fixes unquoted keys
  • Converts single quotes to double quotes
  • Repairs incomplete arrays and objects
  • Auto-completes missing values with sensible defaults

• repair_json_file() - Read and repair JSON from files

  • Direct file reading and repair
  • Clear error messages for missing files, permission issues, etc.

• repair_json_raw() - Repair JSON from raw byte vectors

  • Useful for binary data or reading from connections
  • Validates UTF-8 encoding

New: Return R Objects Directly

• Added return_objects parameter to all repair functions
  • When TRUE, returns R objects (lists, vectors) instead of JSON strings
  • Works with all three repair functions: repair_json_str(), repair_json_file(), and repair_json_raw()

New: Schema Validation System

• Complete schema validation and type conversion system inspired by the structr package

• Schema builder functions:

  • s_map() - Define JSON objects with named fields
  • s_integer() - Integer fields with optional defaults
  • s_double() - Double/numeric fields with optional defaults
  • s_string() - String fields with optional defaults
  • s_logical() - Logical/boolean fields with optional defaults
  • s_array() - Arrays with typed elements
  • s_any() - Accept any JSON type

• Schema features:

  • Type coercion (e.g., string "30" to integer 30)
  • Optional fields with .optional = TRUE
  • Default values with .default parameter
  • Required field validation
  • Nested schemas for complex structures
  • Works with both return_objects = TRUE and return_objects = FALSE

• Schema benefits:

  • Ensures correct R types (integer vs. double vs. string)
  • Provides clear error messages for missing required fields
  • Handles missing optional fields gracefully
  • Validates JSON structure matches expectations
