Hi This UDF is for anyone who - Object Orientated Programing ie properties and methods in autoIT - needs standards compliant JSON,, - JSON.parse (read) and JSON.stringify (to text ) - Now JSONPath - wants to use dot syntax in AutoIT like you would in Javascript - dosen't like AutoIt arrays - full javascript arrays and objects in AutoIT! - knows javascript or would like to learn autoIT or vice versa. - call javascript functions like EncodeURI - run any javascript from autoIT ! Tested IE8 - IE11. v7 JSON_OO v7.zip - IE free version. ( hey microsoft ditched IE now too!) .- No IE dependencies- Added arrayAdd and arrayDel- JSONPath! for searching.- Added Keys Function - to list properties of a JSON object.- Secure JSON parse- Native Pure JS implementaion not a port.Credits to Douglas Crockford's for JSON2 code and stefan.goessner for JSONPath code. (see example file). v4 - json_oo_v4.zip. - use v7 (v4 may not work because of windows updates on dec-2014. ). v4 uses IEs JSON , so no ported external librariesv4 also includes a Non - IE version of JSON no include files but no stringify and uses javascript EVal (not secure). use v7.eg valid JSON '{ "hello" : "world" }' invalid "{ 'hello' : 'world' }"v4 does not have JSONPath , arrayAdd, arrayDel or keys (properties) methods - use v7 - enjoy ...the brakes come off Autoit . This is the smallest OO extensions for AutoIT Object Oriented JSON --- using JSON to Build Objects in Native AutoIT -- Using JSON to create objects $oJSON = _OO_JSON_Init ( ) $jsObj = $oJSON.parse('{ "hello": "world" }') $jsObj.hello;-> world $oJSON.stringify( $jsObj );-> {"hello":"world"} $jsObj.stringify();-> {"hello":"world"} ARRAYS - goodbye Auto it arrays hooray The real magic in this script is that it lets you access JSON array items by index number through dot syntax without the need for a for-each loop. eg you can go $obj.arr.item(n) It does this by making javascript objects syntax friendly to Autoit. . Also you can go $obj.arr.item("property").and $obj.arr.property & Also $obj.arr.length (see below) -- Using JSON to create one dimentional array $sJSON=[ "h1", "h2", "h3" ] $oResult.length= 3 $oResult.item(0);-> h1 -- Using JSON to create 2 dimentional array; $sJSON=[[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]] $oResult.length= 3 $oResult.item(0);-> $oResult.item(0).stringify();-> [1,2] $oResult.item(2).item(1);-> 6 $oResult.item(2).length;-> 2 -- Using JSON to create an object array $sJSON= [ { "card":"ace" }, {"card":"king" }] $oResult.length= 2 $oResult.item(0).card;-> ace -- Using JSON to create key values $sJSON= { "name":"Jon" , "surname":"who" } $oResult.item("surname");-> who $oResult.surname ;-> who Many other benefits such as building objects using JSON text just like you would in JavaScript Basic OO - Properties and methods -- Add properties to objects in AutoIT $jsObj.propAdd("myProp", "'x'") $jsObj.myProp ;-> x $jsObj.propAdd("myProp", '{ "hello": "world" }') $jsObj.myProp.hello ;-> world -- User Defined methods - using javascript -CASE SENSITIVE $jsObj.methAdd("myMethod", " Function('y','return y*5') " ) $jsObj.myMethod(5) ;-> 25 Some people have problems on 64 bit autoIT windows with the script control...here is the work around..
