json.get() Function

• Introduced in version 1.3b49

Returns the value in a JSON Array at the specified index, returns a slice of a JSON Array from the specified indexes, or returns the value from JSON Object for the specified key.

Usage

json.get(array, index)

json.get(array, start, end)

json.get(object, key, key, ...)

Parameters

• array - The JSON Array to retrieve the element from.
• index - The numerical index of the element you want returned.
• start - The starting index of the element you wish the slice to begin at.
• end - The ending index of the element you wish the slice to end at.
• object - The JSON Object to retrieve the element from.
• key - The name of a field that should be returned. This parameter can exist more than once, if it does then a JSON Object is returned with all the specified elements.

Negative numbers can be used as the offsets from the end of the array, -1 is the last element in the array, -2 is the second to last, and so on. If the end index is smaller than the start index then the array slice is returned in reverse.

  [h:a=json.fromStrProp("a=1;b=44;c=12")] [json.get(a,"b")]
  [h:a=json.fromList("1,44,12")] [json.get(a,1)]
