Lua Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63+

JSON UpdateString

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates the JSON object's UpdateString method. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json.emit_compact = false

-- The UpdateString method updates or adds a string member.
-- It also auto-creates the objects and/or arrays that
-- are missing.  For example:
json:update_string("test.abc[0].xyz", "Chicago Cubs")

-- The JSON now contains:
print(json:emit())

-- {
--   "test": {
--     "abc": [
--       {
--         "xyz": "Chicago Cubs"
--       }
--     ]
--   }

json:update_string("test.abc[0].xyz", "Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!")
print(json:emit())

-- {
--   "test": {
--     "abc": [
--       {
--         "xyz": "Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!"
--       }
--     ]
--   }
