a5_json_populateArray Function

This function is obsolete. Use json_parse() instead.

Syntax

a5_json_populateArray(arr as P, txt as C)

Arguments

arrPointer: Array to populate with data.
txtCharacter: String of JSON data.

Description

Takes an array of JSON objects and populates an Xbasic property array.

txt = <<%txt%
[
{firstname: 'Fred', lastname: 'Smith', married: true, kids: 2} ,
{firstname: 'richard', lastname: 'smith'}
]
%txt%

dim arr[0] as p
a5_json_populateArray(arr,txt)

?arr.size() 
= 2

?arr[1] 
= firstname = "Fred"
kids = 2
lastname = "Smith"
married = .T.

The a5_json_populateArray() is obsolete. Instead, the json_parse() function should be used to populate an Xbasic property array with JSON data. The example shown above can be rewritten using json_parse() as follows:

txt = <<%txt%
[
{firstname: 'Fred', lastname: 'Smith', married: true, kids: 2} ,
{firstname: 'richard', lastname: 'smith'}
]
%txt%

dim arr as p
arr = json_parse(txt)

? arr.size()
= 2

? arr[1]
= firstname = "Fred"
kids = 2
lastname = "Smith"
married = .T.
