JsonObject Ruby Reference Documentation
CkJsonObject
Current Version: 11.0.0
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.
Object Creation
obj = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
Properties
DebugLogFilePath
# ckStr is a CkString
jsonObject.get_DebugLogFilePath(ckStr);
strVal = jsonObject.debugLogFilePath();
jsonObject.put_DebugLogFilePath(strVal);
If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.
Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.
Possible causes of hangs include:
- A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
- A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
- An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.
DelimiterChar
# ckStr is a CkString
jsonObject.get_DelimiterChar(ckStr);
strVal = jsonObject.delimiterChar();
jsonObject.put_DelimiterChar(strVal);
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.)
topEmitCompact
boolVal = jsonObject.get_EmitCompact();
jsonObject.put_EmitCompact(boolVal);
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.
EmitCrLf
boolVal = jsonObject.get_EmitCrLf();
jsonObject.put_EmitCrLf(boolVal);
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.
I
intVal = jsonObject.get_I();
jsonObject.put_I(intVal);
The value of the "i" index to be used when evaluating a JSON path.
J
intVal = jsonObject.get_J();
jsonObject.put_J(intVal);
The value of the "j" index to be used when evaluating a JSON path.
topK
intVal = jsonObject.get_K();
jsonObject.put_K(intVal);
The value of the "k" index to be used when evaluating a JSON path.
topLastErrorHtml
# ckStr is a CkString
jsonObject.get_LastErrorHtml(ckStr);
strVal = jsonObject.lastErrorHtml();
Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.
topLastErrorText
# ckStr is a CkString
jsonObject.get_LastErrorText(ckStr);
strVal = jsonObject.lastErrorText();
Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.
LastErrorXml
# ckStr is a CkString
jsonObject.get_LastErrorXml(ckStr);
strVal = jsonObject.lastErrorXml();
Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.
topLastMethodSuccess
boolVal = jsonObject.get_LastMethodSuccess();
jsonObject.put_LastMethodSuccess(boolVal);
Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: true means success, false means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.
LowerCaseNames
boolVal = jsonObject.get_LowerCaseNames();
jsonObject.put_LowerCaseNames(boolVal);
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.
PathPrefix
# ckStr is a CkString
jsonObject.get_PathPrefix(ckStr);
strVal = jsonObject.pathPrefix();
jsonObject.put_PathPrefix(strVal);
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.
topSize
intVal = jsonObject.get_Size();
UncommonOptions
# ckStr is a CkString
jsonObject.get_UncommonOptions(ckStr);
strVal = jsonObject.uncommonOptions();
jsonObject.put_UncommonOptions(strVal);
This is a catch-all property to be used for uncommon needs. This property defaults to the empty string and should typically remain empty.
topVerboseLogging
boolVal = jsonObject.get_VerboseLogging();
jsonObject.put_VerboseLogging(boolVal);
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.
Version
# ckStr is a CkString
jsonObject.get_Version(ckStr);
strVal = jsonObject.version();
