example code #1 |
MAIN DEFINE json_obj util.JSONObject LET json_obj = util.JSONObject.create() CALL json_obj.put("id", 8723) CALL json_obj.put("name", "Brando")
DISPLAY json_obj.getType("id") DISPLAY json_obj.getType("name") DISPLAY json_obj.getType("address") CALL fgl_getkey() END MAIN

obtained results #1 |

This method can be used together with util.JSONObject.name() and util.JSONObject.getType() in order to read the elements of JSON objects:
|
|
MAIN DEFINE json_obj util.JSONObject DEFINE i INTEGER
LET json_obj = util.JSONObject.parse('{"id":12,"name":"Scott, Frank", "address":"5 Brando Str."}')
FOR i = 1 TO json_obj.getLength() DISPLAY i, ": ", json_obj.name(i), " = ", json_obj.get(json_obj.name(i)), ": ", json_obj.getType("name") END FOR CALL fgl_getkey() END MAIN

|
obtained results #2 |
