Load a JsonArray

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to load a JsonArray. Chilkat2 Perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

# Loading into a new JSON array is simple and straightforward.
my $a = Chilkat2::JsonArray->new;
$a->Load('[ 1,2,3,4 ]');

# Output:  [1,2,3,4]
print $a->Emit(), "\n";
print "--------\n";

# The JsonArray's Load and LoadSb methods have a peculiar behavior when
# it is already part of a JSON document.  In this case, the JsonArray
# becomes detached, and the original document remains unchanged.
# This is intentional due to the nature of the internal implementation.
# For example:

my $json = Chilkat2::JsonObject->new;
$json->Load('{ "abc": [ 1,2,3,4 ] }');

# Output:  (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
print '(json) ', $json->Emit(), "\n";
print "--------\n";

my $abc = $json->ArrayOf('abc');
# When Load is called, abc becomes it's own document, and the original is not modified.
$abc->Load('[ 5,6,7,8 ]');

# Output: (abc) [5,6,7,8]
print '(abc) ', $abc->Emit(), "\n";
print "--------\n";

# Output: (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
print '(json) ', $json->Emit(), "\n";
print "--------\n";
