FRED: Format Recursive Encapsulation Data

[Luigi]

This is script is a better version from 'write array to ini and read ini to array'.

You can save (almost) any kind of data (integer, float, string, array* and Scripting.Dicionary) in string.

You can save an array like this:

Local $aTest[2] = ['Violão', 'Argüição']

In this string:

32a2[8sViol~E3o,14sArg~FCi~E7~E3o]

This string you can save in ini file, data base.

When you run you script again, load this string and use decode fuction, it will rebuil a array[2] with all values.

Characteristcs:

• is recursive
• work with any kind of array*
• work with Scripting.Dicionary
• you can put a Scripting.Dicionary into array
• you can put a array into array into array into array...
• have self character encoding/decoding

 

Is very similar to JSON. Some concepts is from JSON, but, is disegned for AutoIt.

Not is JSON! It is FRED! 

Need refactor errors message.

Restrictions

• *work with array[n1] to array[n1][n2][n3][n4][n5][n6][n7][n8][n9][n10]

 

Refactor (@TODO)

• errors message

Very very useful. Thank you

Can we put an array or another "Scripting.Dictionary" in a "Scripting.Dictionary"?

Could you integrate the new type "MAP" of the beta 3.3.16 in addition to Stripting dictionary.

Thank you

Yes, it's is possible.

I always use SD (Scripting.Dictionary) to work similar JSON encode.

See the JSMN, I made some "things".

Write SD, encode JSON and send...

Receive JSON, decode to SD to work in AutoIt.

I don't know this. Hum... Cool, like indexed array.
