Using JSON StringOf with Non-String Members

See more JSON Examples

If a JSON member is a boolean, integer, or null, using StringOf will return its string representation. DataFlex

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

Procedure Test
    Handle hoJson
    Boolean iSuccess
    String a
    String b
    String c
    Integer iIval
    Boolean iBval
    Boolean iHasNull
    String sTemp1

    // Create JSON with members of different data types.
    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatJsonObject)) To hoJson
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoJson))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoJson
    End

    Get ComUpdateInt Of hoJson "a" 123 To iSuccess
    Get ComUpdateBool Of hoJson "b" True To iSuccess
    Get ComUpdateNull Of hoJson "c" To iSuccess

    Set ComEmitCompact Of hoJson To False
    Get ComEmit Of hoJson To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1

    // Resulting JSON:
    // {
    //   "a": 123,
    //   "b": true,
    //   "c": null
    // }

    Get ComStringOf Of hoJson "a" To a
    Showln a

    Get ComStringOf Of hoJson "b" To b
    Showln b

    Get ComStringOf Of hoJson "c" To c
    Showln c

    // Output

    // 123
    // true
    // null

    // If you want to get the integer, boolean, or null value
    // you need to use the methods matching the data type
    Get ComIntOf Of hoJson "a" To iIval
    Get ComBoolOf Of hoJson "b" To iBval
    Get ComIsNullOf Of hoJson "c" To iHasNull
