JSON UpdateNumber vs UpdateInt

Demonstrates UpdateNumber vs UpdateString. Lianja

loJson = createobject("CkJsonObject")

// 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 = .F.
? loJson.Emit()

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

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