JSON UpdateNumber vs UpdateInt

Demonstrates UpdateNumber vs UpdateString. Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

set json [new_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:
CkJsonObject_UpdateNumber $json "largeNumber" "6884556842"

# If the integer is small enough for a 32-bit signed integer, then use UpdateInt:
CkJsonObject_UpdateInt $json "reasonableInt" 123456

CkJsonObject_put_EmitCompact $json 0
puts [CkJsonObject_emit $json]

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

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