JSON

[elmo]

Built in JSON would be valuable.

StrToObj()
ObjToStr()

Also totally irrelevant.

AutoHotkey v2 aims to improve the usability and convenience of the language and command set by sacrificing backward compatibility.

Hmmm... Can't tell if the irrelevant comment relates to the immediately preceding JSON thought or not.

Assuming it relates to something else... These are two examples with files and xml for which a JSON equivalent "seems" useful:

Code: Select all

FileRead   , varInRam , Filename
FileAppend , varInRam , Filename , Encoding

xmlVarInRam       := ComObjCreate("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0")
xmlVarInRam.async := false
xmlVarInRam.load( xmlFilename )
xmlVarInRam.save( xmlFilename )

So maybe:

Code: Select all

JSONread   , objectInRam , Filename
JSONappend , objectInRam , Filename

jsonObjectInRam.load( jsonFilename )
jsonObjectInRam.save( jsonFilename )

I have tried a few of the JSON function suites with varying degrees of success because they all work differently. So IMHO it would cool if AHK_L could read and write standard JSON. So sorry if this the wrong section to suggest.

My comment wasn't qualified with anything else, so obviously was in reference to the post immediately preceding it. Adding JSON-parsing support can be done at any time without breaking compatibility, so is irrelevant for v2.
