GSON-Permissions

GSON-Permissions is a very small permissions plugin,​

why implements the use of GSON-2.2.4 library, along with it's extras​

which are provided on their google SVN checkout.​

​

I think I know people are going to be like: "There's already a permissions plugin using GSON",​

or they will say: "Why gson? Gson is incredibly too long to use!".​

​

The reason I am doing this atm, is because I already know a lot of Java,​

but I am looking into learning new things like the use of bukkit, or the use of gson.​

I currently have been using gson to a great start.. It may have a lot of stuff that you must​

write for each permission, but it gives users, a bunch of accessibility, so they may​

make everything how they want it done.​

​

At the moment I don't implement the use of the star operator (*) to set all permissions​

in a permissions container, but I might add that if it doesn't cause a bunch of problems.​

I also do not have the ability to remove certain permissions, but I'll have that soon enough.​

​

I haven't tested if the permissions actually get set correctly, but for the most part I have​

the ability to write permissions to the file, and the ability to read from the file.​

​

The accessibility is quite long but it's efficient enough for me. Also when a player joins,​

and the file doesn't exist, the file gets created, and a new permissions container is created​

for the file and puts in an example for the player.​

​

Currently I need to removed the UUID container, but that will be easy.​

​

Here is how the "permissions.gs" (permissions configuration file) looks currently:​

​

Code:

{ <- This opens the document.
  "permissions": { <- This acts like an array, but is actually an object that is a HashMap.
    "600a6113-e739-43cc-b37c-b1b6f9881db2": [
      {
        "name": "bukkit.command.op.give",
        "children": {},
        "defaultValue": "FALSE",
        "description": ""
      },
      {
        "name": "bukkit.command.op.take",
        "children": {},
        "defaultValue": "FALSE",
        "description": ""
      }
    ], <- comma separates arrays and objects from one another.
    "Put another person's UUID here!": [ <- This opens an array of permissions for the player's UUID.
      { <- That opens a single Permission Object for that player's UUID.
        "name": "op", <- This "names" the permission "op", similar to "bukkit.command.op".
        "children": {}, <- This is the permission children, I believe this has the permissions after the "bukkit.".
        "defaultValue": "FALSE", <- This is the value of the permission, it can either be "FALSE', or "TRUE".
        "description": "" <- This describes the permission in some way, but I don't know the use yet.
      } <- This closes the Permission written with the "{".
    ] <- This closes the permissions array for the specific player's UUID.
  } <- This one closes the HashMap: "permissions".
} <- This one closes the .gs document.

Overall, I think this will be a fun project, and very educational for me at the same time.​
