<brief_description>
|
|
Helper class for creating and parsing JSON data.
|
|
</brief_description>
|
|
<description>
|
|
The [JSON] enables all data types to be converted to and from a JSON string. This useful for serializing data to save to a file or send over the network.
|
|
[method stringify] is used to convert any data type into a JSON string.
|
|
[method parse] is used to convert any existing JSON data into a [Variant] that can be used within Godot. If successfully parsed, use [method get_data] to retrieve the [Variant], and use [code]typeof[/code] to check if the Variant's type is what you expect. JSON Objects are converted into a [Dictionary], but JSON data can be used to store [Array]s, numbers, [String]s and even just a boolean.
|
|
[b]Example[/b]
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var data_to_send = ["a", "b", "c"]
|
|
var json = JSON.new()
|
|
var json_string = json.stringify(data_to_send)
|
|
# Save data
|
|
# ...
|
|
# Retrieve data
|
|
var error = json.parse(json_string)
|
|
if error == OK:
|
|
var data_received = json.get_data()
|
|
if typeof(data_received) == TYPE_ARRAY:
|
|
print(data_received) # Prints array
|
|
else:
|
|
print("Unexpected data")
|
|
else:
|
|
print("JSON Parse Error: ", json.get_error_message(), " in ", json_string, " at line ", json.get_error_line())

|
|
Returns the [Variant] containing the data of a successful [method parse].
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] It will return [code]Null[/code] if the last call to parse was unsuccessful or [method parse] has not yet been called.

<method name="get_error_line" qualifiers="const">

<return type="int" />

<description>
|
|
Returns [code]0[/code] if the last call to [method parse] was successful, or the line number where the parse failed.

<method name="get_error_message" qualifiers="const">

<return type="String" />

<description>
|
|
Returns an empty string if the last call to [method parse] was successful, or the error message if it failed.

|
|
Attempts to parse the [code]json_string[/code] provided.
|
|
Returns an [enum Error]. If the parse was successful, it returns [code]OK[/code] and the result can be retrieved using [method get_data]. If unsuccessful, use [method get_error_line] and [method get_error_message] for identifying the source of the failure.

|
Converts a [Variant] var to JSON text and returns the result. Useful for serializing data to store or send over the network.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] The JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a [i]number[/i] type. Therefore, converting a Variant to JSON text will convert all numerical values to [float] types.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] If [code]full_precision[/code] is true, when stringifying floats, the unreliable digits are stringified in addition to the reliable digits to guarantee exact decoding.
|
|
Use [code]indent[/code] parameter to pretty stringify the output.
