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. Rust

let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();

let _ = json.update_string("xyz", "1234");
let _ = json.update_string("abc.xyz", "1234");
let _ = json.update_string("abc.def", "1234");
let _ = json.update_string("abc.aaa", "1234");
let _ = json.update_string("ghi", "1234");
let _ = json.update_string("nmo", "1234");

json.set_emit_compact(false);
println!("{}", json.emit().unwrap_or_default());

// 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.
let ascending = true;
let case_sensitive = true;
json.sort(ascending, case_sensitive);

// Look at the sorted JSON..
println!("{}", json.emit().unwrap_or_default());

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

// Now sort the members of the "abc" object..
let json_abc = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = json.object_of2("abc", &json_abc);

json_abc.sort(ascending, case_sensitive);

// Now look at the JSON with the members under "abc" also sorted..
println!("{}", json.emit().unwrap_or_default());

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