JSON UpdateNumber vs UpdateInt

Demonstrates UpdateNumber vs UpdateString. B4X

Dim json As ChilkatJsonObject
json.Initialize

'  If a number is too large for a 32-bit signed integer, then call UpdateNumber instead of UpdateInt.
'  The large integer is passed to UpdateNumber as a string, but in the JSON it will be an integer.

'  For example:
json.UpdateNumber("largeNumber", "6884556842")

'  If the integer is small enough for a 32-bit signed integer, then use UpdateInt:
json.UpdateInt("reasonableInt", 123456)

json.EmitCompact = False
Log(json.Emit)

'  The output:
'  Notice the large number passed as a string does not have quotes in the JSON

'  {
'    "largeNumber": 6884556842,
'    "reasonableInt": 123456
'  }
