JSON

The std/json library provides functions for serializing and working with JSON values in Tim Engine. JSON values are also produced by the system library functions parseJSON, loadJSON, remoteJSON and fetch, and support arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) as well as == / != comparisons.

To use the library, import it explicitly:

@import "std/json"

🔗join

fn join(s: json, sep: string = ", "): string

Join the elements of a JSON array of strings into a single string, separated by sep.

🔗keys

fn keys(obj: json): json

Return an array of the object's property keys.

🔗values

fn values(obj: json): json

Return an array of the object's property values.

🔗pretty

fn pretty(obj: json): string

Return a pretty-printed (indented) representation of the JSON value.

🔗get

fn get(obj: json, key: string, default: json): json

Return the value of key in the object, or default if the key does not exist.

🔗Examples

@import "std/json"

var data = parseJSON("{\"name\": \"Alice\", \"age\": 30}")
p: $data["name"]         // outputs "Alice"
echo keys($data)         // Output: ["name", "age"]
echo pretty($data)       // pretty-printed JSON
