<json-var>

The JSON object from which the value is to be extracted

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

This script fragment logs the following:

a-string = a string value
a-number = 42
a-boolean = true
an-object = { "a-string": "a string value", "a-number": 42, "a-boolean": true }
nothing = null
my-array = 1,2,3
