JsonObject C Reference Documentation

JsonObject

Current Version: 9.5.0.97

Represents a JSON object, which contains an unordered set of name/value pairs. Each value can be a string, number, JSON object, JSON array, true, false, or null.

Create/Dispose

HCkJsonObject instance = CkJsonObject_Create();
// ...
CkJsonObject_Dispose(instance);
HCkJsonObject CkJsonObject_Create(void);

Creates an instance of the HCkJsonObject object and returns a handle ("void *" pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.

void CkJsonObject_Dispose(HCkJsonObject handle);

Objects created by calling CkJsonObject_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function. Also, any handle returned by a Chilkat "C" function must also be freed by the application by calling the appropriate Dispose method, such as CkJsonObject_Dispose.

Properties

DebugLogFilePath
void CkJsonObject_getDebugLogFilePath(HCkJsonObject cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkJsonObject_putDebugLogFilePath(HCkJsonObject cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkJsonObject_debugLogFilePath(HCkJsonObject cHandle);

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

top
DelimiterChar
void CkJsonObject_getDelimiterChar(HCkJsonObject cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkJsonObject_putDelimiterChar(HCkJsonObject cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkJsonObject_delimiterChar(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

Sets the delimiter char for JSON paths. The default value is ".". To use Firebase style paths, set this property to "/". (This is a string property that should have a length of 1 char.)

top
EmitCompact
BOOL CkJsonObject_getEmitCompact(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
void CkJsonObject_putEmitCompact(HCkJsonObject cHandle, BOOL newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.56

If TRUE then the Emit method outputs in the most compact form possible (a single-line with no extra whitespace). If FALSE, then emits with whitespace and indentation to make the JSON human-readable.

The default value is TRUE.

top
EmitCrLf
BOOL CkJsonObject_getEmitCrLf(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
void CkJsonObject_putEmitCrLf(HCkJsonObject cHandle, BOOL newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.56

If TRUE then the Emit method uses CRLF line-endings when emitting the non-compact (pretty-print) format. If FALSE, then bare-LF's are emitted. (The compact format emits to a single line with no end-of-line characters.) Windows systems traditionally use CRLF line-endings, whereas Linux, Mac OS X, and other systems traditionally use bare-LF line-endings.

The default value is TRUE.

top
I
int CkJsonObject_getI(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
void CkJsonObject_putI(HCkJsonObject cHandle, int newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.56

The value of the "i" index to be used when evaluating a JSON path.

More Information and Examples
top
J
int CkJsonObject_getJ(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
void CkJsonObject_putJ(HCkJsonObject cHandle, int newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.56

The value of the "j" index to be used when evaluating a JSON path.

top
K
int CkJsonObject_getK(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
void CkJsonObject_putK(HCkJsonObject cHandle, int newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.56

The value of the "k" index to be used when evaluating a JSON path.

top
LastErrorHtml
void CkJsonObject_getLastErrorHtml(HCkJsonObject cHandle, HCkString retval);
const char *CkJsonObject_lastErrorHtml(HCkJsonObject cHandle);

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorText
void CkJsonObject_getLastErrorText(HCkJsonObject cHandle, HCkString retval);
const char *CkJsonObject_lastErrorText(HCkJsonObject cHandle);

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorXml
void CkJsonObject_getLastErrorXml(HCkJsonObject cHandle, HCkString retval);
const char *CkJsonObject_lastErrorXml(HCkJsonObject cHandle);

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastMethodSuccess
BOOL CkJsonObject_getLastMethodSuccess(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
void CkJsonObject_putLastMethodSuccess(HCkJsonObject cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of TRUE indicates success, a value of FALSE indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = TRUE and failure = FALSE.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to TRUE. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
LowerCaseNames
BOOL CkJsonObject_getLowerCaseNames(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
void CkJsonObject_putLowerCaseNames(HCkJsonObject cHandle, BOOL newVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.87

If TRUE then all member names are converted to lowercase when the JSON is initially loaded by the following methods: Load, LoadBd, LoadSb, LoadFile.

The default value is FALSE.

top
PathPrefix
void CkJsonObject_getPathPrefix(HCkJsonObject cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkJsonObject_putPathPrefix(HCkJsonObject cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkJsonObject_pathPrefix(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.76

A prefix string that is automatically added to the JSON path passed in the first argument for other methods (such as StringOf, UpdateString, SetBoolOf, SizeOfArray, etc.)

The default value is the empty string.

top
Size
int CkJsonObject_getSize(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.56

The number of name/value members in this JSON object.

More Information and Examples

void CkJsonObject_putUncommonOptions(HCkJsonObject cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkJsonObject_uncommonOptions(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.90

This is a catch-all property to be used for uncommon needs. This property defaults to the empty string and should typically remain empty.

top
Utf8
BOOL CkJsonObject_getUtf8(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
void CkJsonObject_putUtf8(HCkJsonObject cHandle, BOOL newVal);

When set to TRUE, all "const char *" arguments are interpreted as utf-8 strings. If set to FALSE (the default), then "const char *" arguments are interpreted as ANSI strings. Also, when set to TRUE, and Chilkat method returning a "const char *" is returning the utf-8 representation. If set to FALSE, all "const char *" return values are ANSI strings.

top
VerboseLogging
BOOL CkJsonObject_getVerboseLogging(HCkJsonObject cHandle);
void CkJsonObject_putVerboseLogging(HCkJsonObject cHandle, BOOL newVal);

If set to TRUE, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is FALSE. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top
Version
void CkJsonObject_getVersion(HCkJsonObject cHandle, HCkString retval);
const char *CkJsonObject_version(HCkJsonObject cHandle);

Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"
