json.get() Function
• Introduced in version 1.3b49
Returns the value in a JSON Array at the specified index, returns a slice of a JSON Array from the specified indexes, or returns the value from JSON Object for the specified key.
Usage
json.get(array, index)
json.get(array, start, end)
json.get(object, key, key, ...)
Parameters
array
- The JSON Array to retrieve the element from.index
- The numerical index of the element you want returned.start
- The starting index of the element you wish the slice to begin at.end
- The ending index of the element you wish the slice to end at.object
- The JSON Object to retrieve the element from.key
- The name of a field that should be returned. This parameter can exist more than once, if it does then a JSON Object is returned with all the specified elements.
When extracting slices: Negative numbers can be used as the offsets from the end of the array, -1
is the last element in the array, -2
is the second to last, and so on. If the end
index is smaller than the start
index then the array slice is returned in reverse. (unfortunately, negative numbers do not work with a single index, probably should though)
Examples
a) [h: jo = json.fromStrProp("a=1; b=44; cat=meow")] [r: json.get(jo, "b")] <br>
b) [h: jo = json.fromStrProp("a=1; b=44; cat=meow")] [r: json.get(jo, "XX")] <br>
c) [h: jo = json.fromStrProp("a=1; b=44; cat=meow")] [r: json.get(jo, "cat", "a")] <br>
d) [h: jo = json.fromStrProp("a=1; b=44; cat=meow")] [r: json.get(jo, "b", "XX")] <br>
e) [h: ja = json.fromList("1,44,meow")] [r: json.get(ja, 1)] <br>
f) [h: ja = json.fromList("1,44,meow")] [r: json.get(ja, 2)] <br>
g) [h: ja = json.fromList("1,44,meow")] [r: json.get(ja, 1, 2)] <br>
h) [h: ja = json.fromList("1,44,meow")] [r: json.get(ja, 0, -1)] <br>
i) [h: ja = json.fromList("1,44,meow")] [r: json.get(ja, 2, 0)] <br>
j) [h: ja = json.fromList("1,44,meow")] [r: json.get(ja, -1, 0)] <br>
ERROR a) [h: ja = json.fromList("1,44,meow")] [r: json.get(ja, -1)] <br>
ERROR b) [h: ja = json.fromList("1,44,meow")] [r: json.get(ja, 3)] <br>
Returns
a) 44 -- a value b) -- empty string "", as XX does not exist c) {"cat":"meow","a":1} -- a JSON object d) {"b":44,"XX":""} -- a JSON object e) 44 -- a value f) meow -- a value g) [1,44,"meow"] -- an array slice of 0..2 h) ["meow",44] -- an array slice from 2..1 i) [1,44,"meow"] -- an array slice from 0..end j) ["meow",44] -- an array slice from end..1
ERROR a) -- java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, can't use negatives with a single index param (works OK with slices).ERROR a) -- java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, the last valid index is 2
Version Changes
- 1.3b51 - Added ability to return JSON Array slices.
- 1.3b51 - Added ability to return JSON Objects of select fields from other JSON Objects.
