(Node.js) Load a JsonArray

Demonstrates how to load a JsonArray.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOSX, and ARM

    // Loading into a new JSON array is simple and straightforward.
    var a = new chilkat.JsonArray();
    a.Load("[ 1,2,3,4 ]");

    // Output:  [1,2,3,4]
    console.log(a.Emit());
    console.log("--------");

    // The JsonArray's Load and LoadSb methods have a peculiar behavior when
    // it is already part of a JSON document.  In this case, the JsonArray
    // becomes detached, and the original document remains unchanged.
    // This is intentional due to the nature of the internal implementation.
    // For example:

    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    json.Load("{ \"abc\": [ 1,2,3,4 ] }");

    // Output:  (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
    console.log("(json) " + json.Emit());
    console.log("--------");

    // abc: JsonArray
    var abc = json.ArrayOf("abc");
    // When Load is called, abc becomes it's own document, and the original is not modified.
    abc.Load("[ 5,6,7,8 ]");

    // Output: (abc) [5,6,7,8]
    console.log("(abc) " + abc.Emit());
    console.log("--------");

    // Output: (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
    console.log("(json) " + json.Emit());
    console.log("--------");
