How to use:
This lib requires LCID (Locale Code IDentifier) property of your ASP application before use. You can do this by setting the LCID in one of the following ways:
- On the page declaration at the top of the page to set it to the entire page (eg.:
<%@ LCID=1046 %>), OR- On the
Sessionobject to set it to all pages in the entire session (eg.:Session.LCID = 1046), OR- On the
Responseobject, before using the class, to set it beyond this point on the page (eg.:Response.LCID = 1046)
Response.LCID = 1046 ' REQUIRED! Set your LCID here (1046 = Brazilian). Could also be the LCID property of the page declaration or the Session.LCID property
' instantiate the class
set JSON = New JSONobject
' add properties
JSON.Add "prop1", "someString"
JSON.Add "prop2", 12.3
JSON.Add "prop3", Array(1, 2, "three")
' remove properties
JSON.Remove "prop2"
JSON.Remove "thisDoesNotExistsAndWillDoNothing"
' change some values
JSON.Change "prop1", "someOtherString"
JSON.Change "prop4", "thisWillBeCreated" ' this property doen't exists and will be created automagically
' get the values
Response.Write JSON.Value("prop1") & "<br>"
Response.Write JSON.Value("prop2") & "<br>"
Response.Write JSON("prop3").Serialize() & "<br>" ' default function is equivalent to `.Value(propName)` - this property returns a JSONarray object
Response.Write JSON("prop4") & "<br>"
' get the JSON formatted output
Dim jsonString
jsonString = JSON.Serialize() ' this will contain the string representation of the JSON object
JSON.Write() ' this will write the output to the Response - equivalent to: Response.Write JSON.Serialize()
' load and parse some JSON formatted string
jsonString = "[{ ""strings"" : ""valorTexto"", ""numbers"": 123.456, ""arrays"": [1, ""2"", 3.4, [5, 6, [7, 8]]], ""objects"": { ""prop1"": ""outroTexto"", ""prop2"": [ { ""id"": 1, ""name"": ""item1"" }, { ""id"": 2, ""name"": ""item2"", ""teste"": { ""maisum"": [1, 2, 3] } } ] } }]" ' double double quotes here because of the VBScript quotes scaping
set oJSONoutput = JSON.Parse(jsonString) ' this method returns the parsed object. Arrays are parsed to JSONarray objects
JSON.Write() ' outputs: '{"data":[{"strings":"valorTexto","numbers":123.456,"arrays":[1,"2",3.4,[5,6,[7,8]]],"objects":{"prop1":"outroTexto","prop2":[{"id":1,"name":"item1"},{"id":2,"name":"item2","teste":{"maisum":[1,2,3]}}]}}]}'
oJSONoutput.Write() ' outputs: '[{"strings":"valorTexto","numbers":123.456,"arrays":[1,"2",3.4,[5,6,[7,8]]],"objects":{"prop1":"outroTexto","prop2":[{"id":1,"name":"item1"},{"id":2,"name":"item2","teste":{"maisum":[1,2,3]}}]}}]'
' if the string represents an object (not an array of objects), the current object is returned so there is no need to set the return to a new variable
jsonString = "{ ""strings"" : ""valorTexto"", ""numbers"": 123.456, ""arrays"": [1, ""2"", 3.4, [5, 6, [7, 8]]] }"
JSON.Parse(jsonString)
JSON.Write() ' outputs: '{"strings":"valorTexto","numbers":123.456,"arrays":[1,"2",3.4,[5,6,[7,8]]]}'To load records from a database:
' load records from an ADODB.Recordset
dim cn, rs
set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "yourConnectionStringGoesHere"
set rs = cn.execute("SELECT id, nome, valor FROM pedidos ORDER BY id ASC")
' this could also be:
' set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
' rs.Open "SELECT id, nome, valor FROM pedidos ORDER BY id ASC", cn
JSON.LoadRecordset rs
JSONarr.LoadRecordset rs
rs.Close
cn.Close
set rs = Nothing
set cn = Nothing
JSON.Write() ' outputs: {"data":[{"id":1,"nome":"nome 1","valor":10.99},{"id":2,"nome":"nome 2","valor":19.1}]}
JSONarr.Write() ' outputs: [{"id":1,"nome":"nome 1","valor":10.99},{"id":2,"nome":"nome 2","valor":19.1}]To change the default property name ("data") when loading arrays and recordsets, use the defaultPropertyName property:
JSON.defaultPropertyName = "CustomName"
JSON.Write() ' outputs: {"CustomName":[{"id":1,"nome":"nome 1","valor":10.99},{"id":2,"nome":"nome 2","valor":19.1}]}If you want to use arrays, I have something for you too
' instantiate the class
set JSONarr = New JSONarray
' add something to the array
JSONarr.Push JSON ' Can be JSON objects, and even JSON arrays
JSONarr.Push 1.25 ' Can be numbers
JSONarr.Push "and strings too"
' write to page
JSONarr.Write() ' Guess what? This does the same as the Write method from JSON objectTo loop arrays you have to access the items property of the JSONarray object and you can also access the items trough its index:
dim i, item
' more readable loop
for each item in JSONarr.items
if isObject(item) and typeName(item) = "JSONobject" then
item.write()
else
response.write item
end if
response.write "<br>"
next
' faster but less readable
for i = 0 to JSONarr.length - 1
if isObject(JSONarr(i)) then
set item = JSONarr(i)
if typeName(item) = "JSONobject" then
item.write()
else
response.write item
end if
else
item = JSONarr(i)
response.write item
end if
response.write "<br>"
next
