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:
#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:
{
"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.
