Token design

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.
