Sort JSON Object by Member Key Name

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to sort the members of a JSON object by the key name. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()

json.UpdateString("xyz","1234")
json.UpdateString("abc.xyz","1234")
json.UpdateString("abc.def","1234")
json.UpdateString("abc.aaa","1234")
json.UpdateString("ghi","1234")
json.UpdateString("nmo","1234")

json.put_EmitCompact(false)
print json.emit() + "\n";

# This is our initial JSON:

# {
#   "xyz": "1234",
#   "abc": {
#     "xyz": "1234",
#     "def": "1234",
#     "aaa": "1234"
#   },
#   "ghi": "1234",
#   "nmo": "1234"
# }

# Sort the top-level JSON object by key.
ascending = true
caseSensitive = true
json.Sort(ascending,caseSensitive)

# Look at the sorted JSON..
print json.emit() + "\n";

# {
#   "abc": {
#     "xyz": "1234",
#     "def": "1234",
#     "aaa": "1234"
#   },
#   "ghi": "1234",
#   "nmo": "1234",
#   "xyz": "1234"
# }

# Now sort the members of the "abc" object..
jsonAbc = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
json.ObjectOf2("abc",jsonAbc)

jsonAbc.Sort(ascending,caseSensitive)

# Now look at the JSON with the members under "abc" also sorted..
print json.emit() + "\n";

# {
#   "abc": {
#     "aaa": "1234",
#     "def": "1234",
#     "xyz": "1234"
#   },
#   "ghi": "1234",
#   "nmo": "1234",
#   "xyz": "1234"
# }
