JSON conversion cannot preserve integer width or full integer variants.
Bare JSON numbers do not encode signedness or width, so values such as 5_000_000_000, 100, 5, and -5 can be reconstructed as different ScVal variants than the originals. The string representation also cannot recover the original type: small U128/I128 values become ScVal::String, while U256/I256 values become narrower variants or strings.
Contract arguments, state values, and lookups relying on exact XDR types can therefore fail or behave differently after a round trip. Define a canonical tagged representation or accept an expected type for callers that know the target schema, and add tests covering signed, unsigned, 128-bit, and 256-bit values.

Propagate parse failures once a marker matches, instead of falling through to the generic map path.
Lines 84, 90, and 96 discard the parse result on failure. Execution then continues to the generic map branch at lines 102-113. An input that is clearly marked as an ScError or a contract instance therefore returns an ScVal::Map with "type", "code", "executable", or "storage" string keys.
Examples that reach this path:
{"type": "WasmVm", "code": "SomeNewCode"}—parse_coderejects the unknown variant name, and the value becomes a map.{"executable": {"type": "Wasm", "wasmHash": "0xzz"}, "storage": null}—hex::decodefails, and the value becomes a map.
The caller receives a wrong ScVal with no error. Return the error after the marker matched.
🛠️ Proposed fix to propagate marker parse errors
if obj.contains_key("type") && obj.contains_key("code") && obj.len() == 2 {
- if let Ok(err) = parse_error(obj) {
- return Ok(ScVal::Error(err));
- }
+ return Ok(ScVal::Error(parse_error(obj)?));
}
if obj.contains_key("nonce") && obj.len() == 1 {
- if let Some(nonce_val) = obj.get("nonce").and_then(|v| v.as_i64()) {
- return Ok(ScVal::LedgerKeyNonce(ScNonceKey { nonce: nonce_val }));
- }
+ let nonce = obj
+ .get("nonce")
+ .and_then(|v| v.as_i64())
+ .ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("nonce must be an i64"))?;
+ return Ok(ScVal::LedgerKeyNonce(ScNonceKey { nonce }));
}
if obj.contains_key("executable") && obj.contains_key("storage") {
- if let Ok(instance) = parse_contract_instance(obj, depth) {
- return Ok(ScVal::ContractInstance(instance));
- }
+ return Ok(ScVal::ContractInstance(parse_contract_instance(obj, depth)?));
}If a legitimate string-keyed map can contain exactly "type" and "code", keep a fallback but restrict it to that specific case, and still return the error for the other two markers.

Integer map keys do not round-trip through the object path.
scval_to_json renders a map key such as ScVal::U32(7) as the JSON object key "7". Line 104 sends that key to convert_string, which returns ScVal::String("7") because 7 fits in u64 and no other branch matches. The rebuilt map key type differs from the original, so map lookups against the original contract data fail.
The test_lossless_map_roundtrip test passes only because the colliding-key case takes the array fallback path at lines 55-66. Add a test for a non-colliding integer-keyed map to record the current behavior, and document that object-path keys always decode as ScVal::String.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject an out-of-range contract error code instead of truncating it.
as_u64() accepts any value up to u64::MAX, and as u32 then wraps. A JSON code of 4294967296 becomes ScError::Contract(0), which reports a different error to the caller. Use a checked conversion.

This PR implements a reverse parser (
json_to_scval) that converts standardserde_json::Valuepayloads back into Stellar'sstellar_xdr::curr::ScValstructures. This is a crucial feature that allows frontend applications, debugging tools, and simulation environments to easily pass arguments and construct contract state payloads using standard JSON instead of raw XDR.How It Was Done
A new
json_to_scval.rsfile was created within thecrates/core/src/decodemodule. A recursiveconvertfunction handles standard JSON data types. Primitives map null toVoidand booleans toBool, while numbers map toU32,I32,U64, orI64based on bounds. Strings are handled with attention to encoding:0xhex strings decode toScBytes,C/Gstrkeys translate back toScAddressviastellar_strkey, and large integers exceeding 64-bit boundaries parse natively intoU128/I128parts. Arrays and maps are recursively unpacked, with arrays converting intoScVecand objects into map generation.Lossless map fallback detection was added to catch the array-of-objects fallback format (
[{"key": ..., "value": ...}]) thatscval_to_jsonproduces when stringified keys collide, safely rebuilding the originalScMap. A maximum recursion depth of 100 levels prevents malicious payloads from causing a stack overflow. Thejson_to_scvallogic is exported incrates/core/src/decode/mod.rs.Issues Encountered (If Any)
Because JSON only natively supports a generic
Numbertype andscval_to_jsonwas a slightly lossy conversion, numeric parsing relies on a best-effort heuristic based on value size bounds, such as matching tou32versusu64. Massive strings fall back to 128-bit parsing, defaulting toScStringwhen they cannot be mathematically parsed.Related Issue
Closes #439
How It Was Tested
Extensive in-file unit tests inside
json_to_scval.rsvalidate round-trip capabilities by runningjson_to_scval(scval_to_json(&val))against primitive variants, heavily nested maps, lossless fallback maps, and simulated inputs.cargo test --package grat-core --lib decodepasses the full testing matrix.Summary by CodeRabbit
