JSON to Pike Converter
Generate Pike model classes from sample JSON when you want typed payload handling for Pike services, scripts, or config tooling.
How to use
- Paste a representative JSON payload that matches the response, event, or config data your Pike code needs to parse.
- Review the generated Pike classes, inferred scalar types, and array or child-class structure for nested content.
- Copy the output into your project and add parser glue, modules, or project-specific conventions where needed.
Benefits
- Produces Pike model scaffolding that is easier to work with than repeated manual key access.
- Keeps nested payloads visible through explicit class fields and child types.
- Helps Pike utilities and backend code move toward more maintainable transport models.
Best use cases
- Pike services and scripts that repeatedly parse JSON payloads or config files.
- Internal tools that want readable class-based scaffolding for structured data.
- Teams maintaining Pike code that benefits from more explicit typed models.
Pike model tips
- Review `int`, `float`, and `array(...)` inference before wiring generated classes into production parsing code.
- Keep one realistic sample payload so child classes and repeated values reflect the data you actually receive.
- Add validation or custom decode helpers later if your Pike project has stricter domain rules than the raw payload.
Sample JSON
{
"id": 101,
"name": "Ada Lovelace",
"active": true,
"roles": ["admin", "editor"],
"profile": {
"email": "ada@example.com",
"score": 9.8
}
}
Sample Pike output
class UserModel
{
int id;
string name;
int active;
array(string) roles;
}
FAQ
Why use the Pike route instead of PHP or Scala3 output?
Choose the Pike route when your destination code is Pike and you want Pike-specific class scaffolding rather than PHP DTOs or Scala case classes.
Does the Pike route support nested objects and lists?
Yes. Nested objects become child classes, and repeated values are inferred into Pike array field types based on the sample JSON payload.
