JSON UpdateNumber vs UpdateInt

Demonstrates UpdateNumber vs UpdateString. Chilkat2 Java

import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.JsonObject;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JsonObject json = new 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:
        json.updateNumber("largeNumber", "6884556842");

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

        json.setEmitCompact(false);
        System.out.println(json.emit());

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

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