Description

Converts the given JSON string into a SIL type (can be a primitive, array or struct).

Parameters

Return Type

String

Variable return type depends on the left hand side operator type.

Examples

Structs

Both examples show how JSON data can be parsed into an array or struct collections. Both examples use the following struct definitions:

struct code { number [] rgba; string hex; } struct color { string color; string category; string type; code code; } struct colors { color [] colors;}</ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>

Example 1 - Reading JSON from a file

string json = readFromTextFile("C:\\colors.json"); colors [] cData; cData = fromJson(json); return cData.colors[0].color;

Example 2 - Reading JSON from a variable

string json = "{\"colors\":[{\"color\":\"red\",\"category\":\"hue\",\"type\":\"primary\",\"code\":{\"rgba\":[255,0,0,1],\"hex\":\"#FF0\"}}]}"; colors [] cData; cData = fromJson(json); return cData.colors[0].color;
