JSON UpdateNumber vs UpdateInt

Demonstrates UpdateNumber vs UpdateString. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL loJson

loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')

* 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:
loJson.UpdateNumber("largeNumber","6884556842")

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

loJson.EmitCompact = 0
? loJson.Emit()

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

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