Unigine::Json Class

Header: #include <UnigineJson.h>

This class is used to parse and create JSON formatted strings.

Each Json node has type, name and value. Also, it can have child Json nodes and a parent node.

Json node can have one of the following types:

  • null
  • bool
  • number
  • string
  • array
  • object

The Json node has a hierarchy structure. The following code creates a Json node and adds child nodes with different types of values:

Source code (C++)
#include <UnigineJson.h>

/* ... */

JsonPtr json =  Json::create();
json->addChild("child_0",0);    // int
json->addChild("child_1",1.1);   // float
json->addChild("child_2","two");   // string

The result is:

Output
{
  "child_0": 0,
  "child_1": 1.1,
  "child_2": "two" 
}

Child nodes have names "child_0", "child_1", "child_2" and values: integer 0, double 1.1 and string "two". The name has always string type.
