Every element of LwJSON is a token. There are different set of token types:
- Object: Type that has nested key-value pairs, eg
{"key":{"sub-key":"value"}}
- Array: Type that holds nested values, eg
{"key":[1,2,3,4,5]}
- String: Regular string, quoted sequence of characters, eg
{"key":"my_string"}
- Number: Integer or real number, eg
{"intnum":123,"realnum":4.3}
- Boolean true: Boolean type true, eg
{"key":true}
- Boolean false: Boolean type false, eg
{"key":false}
- Null: Null indicator, eg
{"key":null}
When parsed, input string is not copied to token, every token uses input string as a reference and points to the beginning of strings/values. This is valid for all string data types and for parameter names.
