JSON

JSON is an object with methods for parsing and converting.

There are only two methods JSON uses.

info

JSON - JavaScript Object Notation

Hedgehog Script supports JavaScript

 

note

JavaScript is not JSON

There are certain things that are required for objectss & Arrays in JSON:

• Trailing commas and leading zeros are forbidden

• Note that NaN and Infinity aren't supported

Note that one can also embed or nest JSON:

tip

Use JSON.stringify() to convert certain objects into strings

The mentioned methods are: JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify (both static).

reviver allows for interpreting what replacer has replaced

Let's have a demo of JSON.parse() & JSON.stringify():

Here's an example using the mentioned reviver and replacer options:
