ToJSON

toJSON

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.

Serializes a supported Lua value to bounded JSON.

Syntax

string|false json, string|nil error = toJSON(mixed value)

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
value	mixed	yes	A nil, boolean, finite number, string, or acyclic table containing supported values.

Returns

Returns the JSON string and nil on success. On failure it returns false and an error string.

Examples

Encode a compact payload:

local json, errorMessage = toJSON({ playerId = playerId, ready = true })
if not json then
    outputDebugString(errorMessage)
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.
