JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data format based on the object notation of the JavaScript language. It does not require JavaScript to read or write; it is easy to parse by any language and libraries and tools exist in many languages to handle JSON.

Here is the entire list of PhantomScript JSON statements: ListAsJSONArray, JSONAddArray, JSONAddBoolean, JSONAddNull, JSONAddNumber, JSONAddObject, JSONAddString, JSONArrayAsList, JSONGetKeys, JSONGetType, JSONGetValue, JSONDelete.

Example

  Local jsonObj1 

  JSONAddString jsonObj1 "a-string" "a string value" 
  JSONAddNumber jsonObj1 "a-number" 42 
  JSONAddBoolean jsonObj1 "a-boolean" (1 = 1) 
  JSONAddObject jsonObj1 "an-object" jsonObj1 
  JSONAddNull jsonObj1 "nothing" 
  JSONAddArray jsonObj1 "my-array" "1,2,3" 


  Log "a-string = " & JSONGetType jsonObj1 "a-string" 
  Log "a-number = " & JSONGetType jsonObj1 "a-number" 
  Log "a-boolean = " & JSONGetType jsonObj1 "a-boolean" 
  Log "an-object = " & JSONGetType jsonObj1 "an-object" 
  Log "nothing = " & JSONGetType jsonObj1 "nothing" 
  Log "my-array = " & JSONGetType jsonObj1 "my-array" 

The above script fragment logs the following:

a-string = String
a-number = Number
a-boolean = Boolean
an-object = Object
nothing = null
my-array = Array
