## Functions

### font_manager_compare_json_int_member ()

    gint
    font_manager_compare_json_int_member (const gchar *member_name,
                                          JsonObject *a,
                                          JsonObject *b);

#### Parameters

member_name | name of member to compare |
a | JsonObject |
b | JsonObject |

#### Returns

An integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if int member from a is <, == or > than int member from b

### font_manager_compare_json_string_member ()

    gint
    font_manager_compare_json_string_member
                                   (const gchar *member_name,
                                    JsonObject *a,
                                    JsonObject *b);

#### Parameters

member_name | name of member to compare |
a | JsonObject |
b | JsonObject |

#### Returns

An integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if string member from a is <, == or > than string member from b

### font_manager_compare_json_font_node ()

    gint
    font_manager_compare_json_font_node (JsonNode *node_a,
                                         JsonNode *node_b);

#### Parameters

node_a | JsonNode containing a font description |
node_b | JsonNode containing a font description |

#### Returns

An integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero, if font a is <, == or > than font b

### font_manager_print_json_array ()

    gchar *
    font_manager_print_json_array (JsonArray *json_arr,
                                   gboolean pretty);

Convenience function which simply wraps json_to_string to allow direct conversion of a JsonArray to string. Equivalent to creating a JsonNode, then setting the given array inside the node and calling json_to_string on the node.

#### Parameters

json_arr | a JsonArray |
pretty | whether the output should be prettyfied for printing |

#### Returns

A newly allocated buffer holding a JSON data stream. The returned string should be freed with `g_free()` when no longer needed.

### font_manager_print_json_object ()

    gchar *
    font_manager_print_json_object (JsonObject *json_obj,
                                    gboolean pretty);

Convenience function which simply wraps json_to_string to allow direct conversion of a JsonObject to string. Equivalent to creating a JsonNode, then setting the given object inside the node and calling json_to_string on the node.

#### Parameters

json_obj | a JsonObject |
pretty | whether the output should be prettyfied for printing |

#### Returns

A newly allocated buffer holding a JSON data stream. The returned string should be freed with `g_free()` when no longer needed.

### font_manager_write_json_file ()

    gboolean
    font_manager_write_json_file (JsonNode *root,
                                  const gchar *filepath,
                                  gboolean pretty);

#### Parameters

root | JsonNode to use as root |
filepath | filepath to write `root` to |
pretty | whether the generated string should be pretty printed |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if file was written successfully

### font_manager_load_json_file ()

    JsonNode *
    font_manager_load_json_file (const gchar *filepath);

#### Parameters

filepath | filepath to a valid json file |

#### Returns

JsonNode or `NULL` if file failed to load.

### font_manager_str_list_to_json_array ()

    JsonArray *
    font_manager_str_list_to_json_array (GList *slist);

#### Parameters

slist | a GList containing only strings. | [element-type utf8]

#### Returns

A newly created JsonArray.
