JSON UpdateNumber vs UpdateInt

Demonstrates UpdateNumber vs UpdateString. Xbase++

LOCAL oJson

oJson := 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:
oJson:UpdateNumber("largeNumber", "6884556842")

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

oJson:EmitCompact := 0
? oJson:Emit()

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

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