2. JSON Entities

2.1. Output format

JSON entities are encoded using UTF-8 and can be served with content type application/json.

By default reporters output compact JSON, as opposed to pretty-printed JSON, which uses extra whitespace to make the output more readable for humans. Use GNAThub’s debug switch to generate pretty-printed JSON reports.

Producing (and parsing) the non-pretty compact format is more efficient, so tools can process the content of the reports effectively.

JSON reports can be further gzip compressed to save on local disk space and network transfer time.

2.2. CoverageStatus

Coverage status apply to a single line of code.

• NO_CODE: this line does not contain or does not generate coverable code;`

• COVERED: all statements from this line were covered during tests;

• NOT_COVERED: no statements from this line were covered during tests;

• PARTIALLY_COVERED: some, but not all, statements from this line were covered during tests.

2.3. CoverageInfo

The CoverageInfo entity contains detailled information about the coverage results of a line of code.

Field name	Field type	Field description
status	CoverageStatus	The coverage status for this line
hits	number	The number of times this line was executed (if available, null otherwise)
