JsonUtils

A Wildstar Embeded LUA library to Decode/Encode JSON data - LUA tables.

This can be very helpful when needing to export or save data inside the add-on data storage/settings. Or useful when you want to transport encoded data between add-ons or between clients through the use of in-game comm-channels.

Usage

Embedding

  Apollo.GetPackage("Json:Utils-1.0").tPackage:Embed(self)

  self:JSONEncode({ a = 1 })

JSONDecode

Example

  Apollo.GetPackage("Json:Utils-1.0").tPackage:Embed(self)

  local jsonStr = "[{\"a\":1,\"b\":\"string\",\"c\":{\"a\":1,\"b\":\"string\"},\"d\":null}]"

  local tNewTable = self:JSONDecode(jsonStr)

Results

Value of tNewTable:
{
    a = 1,
    b = "string",
    c = { a = 1, b = "string" }
    d = nil
}

JSONEncode

Example

  Apollo.GetPackage("Json:Utils-1.0").tPackage:Embed(self)

  local tNewTable = {
    a = 1,
    b = "string",
    c = { a = 1, b = "string" }
    d = nil
  }

  local exportStr = self:JSONEncode(tNewTable)

Results

[{"a":1,"b":"string","c":{"a":1,"b":"string"},"d":null}]

JSONEncodePretty

Example

  Apollo.GetPackage("Json:Utils-1.0").tPackage:Embed(self)

  local tNewTable = {
    a = 1,
    b = "string",
    c = { a = 1, b = "string" }
    d = nil
  }

  local exportStr = self:JSONEncodePretty(tNewTable)

Results

[
  {
    "a": 1,
  "b": "string",
  "c": {
    "a": 1,
    "b": "string"
  },
  "d": null
  }
]
