Description

• Translate a string into a tree structure pointer(JSONode);

Parameters

• json [POINTER]
  • a string.

Return Values

• (JSONode *)
  • A pointer describes a JSON tree structure.

void JSON_Destory(JSONode **json);

Description

• Destory a JSON tree sturcture;

Parameters

Description

• Copy a JSON tree sturcture into another pointer.

Parameters

• json [POINTER]
  • source pointer

Return Values

• (JSONode *)
  • result pointer

void JSON_Get(JSONode *json, const char *path, char *result, int size);

Description

• A Structured-Path-Query function.

Parameters

• json [POINTER]
  • source.

• result [POINTER]
  • result string
• size [NUMBER]
  • the size of result.

C++

Fundamental

• Read only

name = movie[“name”].String();

movie[“name”] = “After Tomorrow”; //Error, Read only

• Edit

movie.Edit()[“name”] = “After Tomorrow”; //Edit 'Value'

movie.Edit()[“name”] << “Name”; //Edit 'Key'

movie.Edit()[“Year”] = 2004; //Error, Can't create new element

• New

movie.New()[“Year”] = 2004; //Create a new element

• Erase

movie[“Year”].Erase();

• Delete

movie[“Year”].Delete();

Erase & Delete

Example:
AdvJSON json("{}");
json.New()["number"] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
result:

{"number":[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]}

• Erase

json["number"][5].Erase();
result:

{"number":[1,2,3,4,5,null,7,8,9,10]}

• Delete

json["number"][3].Delete();
result:

{"number":[1,2,3,5,null,7,8,9,10]}

Operation

Indicator

Example:

movie[“format”][“type”]
movie[“format”][“frame rate”][0]

Array

Example:

movie.Edit()[“format”][“frame rate”] = {8,16,32};
movie.New()[“format”][“frame rate”] += {64,128,256};
movie.New()[“format”][“resolution”] = { {720,480}, {1920,1080}, {4096,2160} };

Parallel

[{ , , , }] = { , , , }
Example: AdvJSON movie("{}");

movie.New()[{"name",           "width", "height", "frame rate"}] =
            {"Jurassic World", 1920,    1080,     {15, 25, 30}};

Result:

{
    "name":       "Jurassic World",
    "width":      1920,
    "height":     1080,
    "frame rate": {15, 25, 30}
}

Creator

C[ { , , , } ]( { , , , } )
Example:

AdvJSON movie("{}");
movie.New()[{"name",           "width", "height", "frame rate"}] =
            {"Jurassic World", 1920,    1080,     {15, 25, 30}};

movie.New()["info"] = C[{"video","audio"}]({{"H264","6000"} , {"AAC", "14400"}});

Result:

{
    "name":       "Jurassic World",
    "width":      1920,
    "height":     1080,
    "frame rate": {15, 25, 30}
    "info": {
        "video": ["H264","6000"],
        "audio": ["AAC", "14400"]
    }
}
