[Feature Req] Dump to file function

[MAGNAT2645]

I have, but if you want to talk about your rewrite there then don't. Sorry.

[clugg]

I've just released v4.0.0. You can find the relevant documentation for this feature below:

• JSON_Object.WriteToFile
• json_write_to_file
• json_read_from_file

Thanks again for the suggestion!

[MAGNAT2645]

You can try to use JSON_Object.Encode with (or without) JSON_ENCODE_PRETTY flag and then File.WriteLine.

JSON_Object hObj = new JSON_Object();
hObj.SetInt( "key1", 50 );
hObj.SetString( "key2", "value" );
hObj.SetBool( "key3", true );

char szBuffer[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
BuildPath( Path_SM, szBuffer, sizeof szBuffer, "data/json.txt" );
File hFile = OpenFile( szBuffer, "w" );

hObj.Encode( szBuffer, sizeof szBuffer, JSON_ENCODE_PRETTY );
hFile.WriteLine( "%s", szBuffer );

hFile.Close();
hObj.Close();

One question, in methodmaps, I had created a function AddField, but that function fails, I had tried to use Length and PushObject but didn't worked, causing handle errors.

property JSON_Array Fields
{
    public get() 
    {
        return view_as<JSON_Array>(this.GetObject("fields"));
    }

    public set(JSON_Array value) 
    {
        this.SetObject("fields", value);
    }
}

public void AddField(const char[] name, const char[] value, bool inline) 
{
    JSON_Object hObj = new JSON_Object();
    hObj.SetString("name", name);
    hObj.SetString("value", value);
    hObj.SetBool("inline", inline);

    JSON_Array hArray = this.Fields;
    PrintToServer("Bool: %i; Fields: %i", hArray.IsArray, this.Fields.IsArray);
    if(hArray == null) {
        hArray = new JSON_Array();
    }

    //json_array_append_new(hArray, hObj);
    hArray.PushObject(hObj);

    this.Fields = hArray;
    delete hArray;
}

Yeah, I realized that and tried. It had worked, but still is somethign what would make a little easy the life of developers.
And I had created a new function json_rename() to be able to rename the key values from JSON.

Are you making something Discord-related? If yes then you should use Discord-API, there are methodmaps for embeds and fields (https://github.com/KillStr3aK/discord-api/blob/main/include/discord/DiscordEmbedField.inc).

[alexevladgabriel]

@MAGNAT2645 Yes, I'm rewriting the Discord API code base. The Discord API was using Jansson (extension), and I started yesterday on rewriting all the base to sm-json.

[MAGNAT2645]

No, Discord-API (which i provided above) uses sm-json.

[alexevladgabriel]

Yes, I had saw. I will continue to work on my rewrite with source inspiration from the other vendor.
This is the one, I rewrite Discord-API
Do you have discord? (Scai#8477)

Thanks for the suggestion - will also be focusing on this for the upcoming release.
