fromJSON
IMPROVED FROM UPDATE 0.1.2
This function is available in earlier releases and has corrected or expanded behavior in G1R:MP 0.1.2 and later. The contract below describes the updated behavior.
Parses bounded JSON into Lua values.
Syntax
mixed|false value, string|nil error = fromJSON(string json)
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
json |
string |
yes | A UTF-8 JSON document up to 1 MiB. |
Returns
Returns the decoded value and nil on success. On failure it returns false and an error string.
Examples
Decode a JSON payload safely:
local value, errorMessage = fromJSON(payload)
if value == false then
outputDebugString(errorMessage)
else
outputDebugString(tostring(value.ready))
end
Notes
- Available in both server-side and client-side resource scripts.
- JSON is limited to 1 MiB, 64 nested levels, and 65536 cumulative entries.
- Expanded limits apply from update 0.1.3 BUILD81. See Scripting limits; earlier 0.1.3 binaries retain their old limits.
