JSON Struct

Description

Overview

JSON Struct is a complete, cleanup-free replacement for GMS 2's built-in JSON functions. Encode and decode JSON as native structs and arrays, load and save them in one take, and even encrypt them!

Features

• Complete coverage of the JSON standard: Structs, arrays, numbers, strings, booleans, nulls
• ZERO manual cleanup: No more ds_map_destroy()!
• ZERO manual type marking: No more ds_map_add_*() or ds_list_mark_as*() for nested entries!
• One-line utilities for loading and saving data
• Encrypt data with ease using the built-in RC4 implementation or another algorithm of your choice
• Encode plain and pretty-print JSON with equal ease

Documentation

See the Wiki section on the official GitHub repository.

Examples

Saving JSON data:

jsons_save("example.json", {
    messages: ["Hello World!", "Goodbye World!"]
});

Loading JSON data:

global.messages = jsons_load("example.json");

Decoding JSON strings:

var json_str = @'{"messages":["Hello World!", "Goodbye World!"]}';
//...
var json_data = jsons_decode(json_str);
show_message(json_data.messages[0]); //Hello World!
