Using JSON StringOf with Non-String Members

See more JSON Examples

If a JSON member is a boolean, integer, or null, using StringOf will return its string representation. Xojo Plugin

// Create JSON with members of different data types.
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject

Dim success As Boolean
success = json.UpdateInt("a",123)
success = json.UpdateBool("b",True)
success = json.UpdateNull("c")

json.EmitCompact = False
System.DebugLog(json.Emit())

// Resulting JSON:
// {
//   "a": 123,
//   "b": true,
//   "c": null
// }

Dim a As String
a = json.StringOf("a")
System.DebugLog(a)

Dim b As String
b = json.StringOf("b")
System.DebugLog(b)

Dim c As String
c = json.StringOf("c")
System.DebugLog(c)

// Output

// 123
// true
// null

// If you want to get the integer, boolean, or null value
// you need to use the methods matching the data type
Dim ival As Int32
ival = json.IntOf("a")
Dim bval As Boolean
bval = json.BoolOf("b")
Dim hasNull As Boolean
hasNull = json.IsNullOf("c")
