Description

Helper class for parsing JSON data. For usage example and other important hints, see JSONParseResult.

Methods

JSONParseResult

parse ( String json )

String

print ( Variant value, String indent=””, bool sort_keys=false )

Method Descriptions

Parses a JSON-encoded string and returns a JSONParseResult containing the result.


Converts a Variant var to JSON text and returns the result. Useful for serializing data to store or send over the network.

Note: The JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a number type. Therefore, converting a Variant to JSON text will convert all numerical values to float types.

Use indent parameter to pretty print the output.

Example output:

  1. ## JSON.print(my_dictionary)
  2. {"name":"my_dictionary","version":"1.0.0","entities":[{"name":"entity_0","value":"value_0"},{"name":"entity_1","value":"value_1"}]}
  3. ## JSON.print(my_dictionary, "\t")
  4. {
  5. "name": "my_dictionary",
  6. "version": "1.0.0",
  7. "entities": [
  8. {
  9. "name": "entity_0",
  10. "value": "value_0"
  11. },
  12. {
  13. "name": "entity_1",
  14. "value": "value_1"
  15. }
  16. ]
  17. }
