[Looking for] JSON-Library for AHK V2-a100

Posted: 11 Mar 2019, 00:49
by hoppfrosch
Does anybody have a working JSON-Library (esp. serializing/deserialize AHK objects to/from JSON) for most recent AHK V2? (AHK V2-a100)

I used to use https://github.com/cocobelgica/AutoHotkey-JSON but failed to upgrade to the latest syntax changes in AHK V2 - so this one doesn't work for me anymore.

Any hint/help/support welcome...

Thanks in advance

doubt you will find anything, might need to fork and update it yourself

- What are the problems? Isn't it just Loop/InStr/SubStr, or is there something else?
- I saw he put in some A_AhkVersion checks, and two-way compatible 'if var is type' uses.
- Here are some functions for lazy InStr/SubStr conversion.

Code: Select all

;==================================================

;works like InStr (AHK v2) (on AHK v1/v2)
JEE_InStr(ByRef vText, vNeedle, vCaseSen:=0, vPos:=1, vOcc:=1)
{
	local
	static vIsV1 := InStr(1, 1,, 0)
	if (vPos = 0)
		return
	if vIsV1 && (vPos <= -1)
		vPos++
	return InStr(vText, vNeedle, vCaseSen, vPos, vOcc)
}

;==================================================

;works like InStr (AHK v1) (on AHK v1/v2)
JEE_InStr1(ByRef vText, vNeedle, vCaseSen:=0, vPos:=1, vOcc:=1)
{
	local
	static vIsV1 := InStr(1, 1,, 0)
	if !vIsV1 && (vPos <= 0)
		vPos--
	return InStr(vText, vNeedle, vCaseSen, vPos, vOcc)
}

;==================================================

;works like SubStr (AHK v2) (on AHK v1/v2)
JEE_SubStr(ByRef vText, vPos, vLen:="")
{
	local
	static vIsV1 := !!SubStr(1, 0)
	if (vPos = 0)
		return
	if vIsV1 && (vPos <= -1)
		vPos++
	if (vLen = "")
		return SubStr(vText, vPos)
	return SubStr(vText, vPos, vLen)
}

;==================================================

I have submitted a PR (links don't seem to work properly at the moment: https://github.com/cocobelgica/AutoHotkey-JSON/pull/18).

- Thanks for the PR, lvalkov, and welcome to the forum.
- I do hope that other users are now starting to see the benefits of AHK v1/v2 'bridging features', and will actively support me on their prioritisation. (Coincidentally I updated the top of my Wish List 2.0 earlier today.)
- Specifically: Loop (expression), LoopXXX, contains/in/is, are all we really need. (And we can leave a note in the AHK v1 docs warning not to rely on their behaviour.) Cheers.

I modified Coco’s script for v2 also. Very few things needed to be changed. I can post it here tomorrow.

Hmmm - I also made update and PR for V2 some times ago ... https://github.com/cocobelgica/AutoHotkey-JSON/pull/13

But I failed to get it running with AHK V2 a100 - maybe the mistake is on my side.

@kczx3 - would be nice if you could post your version.

Yeah I probably should change that. I’m too lazy and don’t share code that often. I’m not the type that makes libraries and posts them.

Hi there kczx3,

I was trying to update this for v2 a113+, but no luck trying as I'm not skilled enough. It appears
functions that are like ObjRemoveAt(stack, 1) need to change to stack.RemoveAt(1) after I did that I kept running into errors, checking to see if you had any update to this?

thx so much.
