json_delete Function

Syntax

Arguments

jsonCharacter

Json to filter nested records from.

patternCharacter

Pattern to match for deletion.

Description

Remove any nested array member that matches pattern.

Deletes attributes from a JSON string that match a certain pattern. For example, consider the following JSON string:

dim json as c = <<%json%
{
    one : 1 ,
    two : 2 ,
    arr : [
        { __deleted : true , fname : "joe" },
        { __deleted : false , fname : "jim" }
    ],
    arr2 : [
        { __deleted : false , fname : "joe" },
        { __deleted : true , fname : "jim" }
    ],
}
%json%

Assume that you want to remove all 'rows' in the JSON that contain the attribute:

__deleted: true

Using json_delete() we can do this:

json = json_sanitize(json)  'convert to strict syntax
dim json2 as c
json2 = json_delete(json , "{ \"__deleted\" : true }")
json2 = json_reformat(json2)
?json2
= {
    "one": 1,
    "two": 2,
    "arr": [
        {
            "__deleted": false,
            "fname": "jim"
        }
    ],
    "arr2": [
        {
            "__deleted": false,
            "fname": "joe"
        }
    ]
}
