Basic Examples

Working with Objects

// Create a JSON object
YYJSONObject obj = new YYJSONObject();
obj.SetInt("int", 1);
obj.SetInt64("int64", "9223372036854775800");
obj.SetFloat("float", 2.0);
obj.SetBool("bool", true);
obj.SetString("str", "Hello World");
obj.SetNull("null");

/* Output:
{
  "int": 1,
  "int64": 9223372036854775800,
  "float": 2.0,
  "bool": true,
  "str": "Hello World",
  "null": null
}
*/

delete obj;

Working with Arrays

// Create a JSON array
YYJSONArray arr = new YYJSONArray();
arr.PushInt(1);
arr.PushInt64("9223372036854775800");
arr.PushFloat(2.0);
arr.PushBool(true);
arr.PushString("Hello World");
arr.PushNull();

/* Output:
[
  1,
  9223372036854775800,
  2.0,
  true,
  "Hello World",
  null
]
*/

delete arr;

Advanced Features

Using JSON Pointer

// Create nested structures
YYJSONObject obj = new YYJSONObject();
obj.PtrSetInt("/a/b/c", 1);

/* Output:
{
  "a": {
    "b": {
      "c": 1
    }
  }
}
*/

delete obj;

// Query data
YYJSONObject data = YYJSON.Parse("example.json", true);
int value = data.PtrGetInt("/int"); // Get value: 1234
float fValue = data.PtrGetFloat("/arr/1"); // Get value: 1.2344
delete data;

Array and Object Iteration

// Object iteration
YYJSONObject obj = YYJSON.Parse("{\"a\": 1, \"b\": 2, \"c\": 3}");
char key[64];
YYJSON value;

// Method 1: Using Foreach (Recommended)
while (obj.ForeachObject(key, sizeof(key), value)) {
  PrintToServer("Key: %s", key);
  delete value;
}

// Method 2: Classic iteration
for (int i = 0; i < obj.Size; i++) {
  obj.GetKey(i, key, sizeof(key));
  value = obj.GetValueAt(i);
  delete value;
}

delete obj;

// Array iteration
YYJSONArray arr = YYJSON.Parse("[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]");
int index;

// Method 1: Using Foreach (Recommended)
while (arr.ForeachArray(index, value)) {
  PrintToServer("Index: %d", index);
  delete value;
}

// Method 2: Classic iteration
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++) {
  value = arr.Get(i);
  delete value;
}

delete arr;

Array Search Operations

// Create a test array
YYJSONArray arr = YYJSON.Parse(
  "[42, true, \"hello\", 3.14, \"world\", false, 42]"
);

// Search for values (returns first occurrence)
int index;
index = arr.IndexOfInt(42);           // Returns 0
index = arr.IndexOfBool(true);        // Returns 1
index = arr.IndexOfString("hello");   // Returns 2
index = arr.IndexOfFloat(3.14);       // Returns 3
index = arr.IndexOfString("world");   // Returns 4
index = arr.IndexOfBool(false);       // Returns 5

// Search for non-existent values
index = arr.IndexOfInt(999);          // Returns -1
index = arr.IndexOfString("missing"); // Returns -1
index = arr.IndexOfFloat(2.718);      // Returns -1

delete arr;

Sorting Arrays and Objects

// Array sorting
YYJSONArray arr = YYJSON.Parse("[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5]", .is_mutable_doc = true);

arr.Sort(); // Ascending (default)
// [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 9]

arr.Sort(YYJSON_SORT_DESC); // Descending
// [9, 6, 5, 5, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1]

arr.Sort(YYJSON_SORT_RANDOM); // Random
// [5, 2, 9, 1, 6, 3, 4, 5, 1, 3, 5] (example output)

// Mixed type array sorting
YYJSONArray mixed = YYJSON.Parse(
  "[true, 42, \"hello\", 1.23, false, \"world\"]", .is_mutable_doc = true
);
mixed.Sort();
// [false, true, 1.23, 42, "hello", "world"]

// Object sorting by keys
YYJSONObject obj = YYJSON.Parse(
  "{\"zebra\": 1, \"alpha\": 2, \"beta\": 3, \"gamma\": 4}", .is_mutable_doc = true
);

obj.Sort(); // Ascending (default)
// {"alpha": 2, "beta": 3, "gamma": 4, "zebra": 1}

obj.Sort(YYJSON_SORT_DESC); // Descending
// {"zebra": 1, "gamma": 4, "beta": 3, "alpha": 2}

obj.Sort(YYJSON_SORT_RANDOM); // Random
// {"beta": 3, "zebra": 1, "alpha": 2, "gamma": 4} (example output)

delete arr;
delete mixed;
delete obj;

Working with Immutable Documents

When parsing JSON documents, you can choose whether to create a mutable or immutable document:

// Create an immutable document (read-only)
YYJSONObject obj = YYJSON.Parse("example.json", true);

// Create a mutable document (read-write)
YYJSONObject obj = YYJSON.Parse("example.json", true, true);

Immutable documents:

• Are read-only and cannot be modified
• Use less memory
• Throw errors when attempting modification operations

Operations on Immutable Documents

Immutable documents support a variety of read operations:

• Type Checking: You can check the type of values within the document.
• Value Retrieval: You can retrieve values using keys or indices.
• Iteration: You can iterate over arrays and objects.
• Comparison: You can compare immutable documents with other documents.

Example of operations with immutable documents:

// Create an immutable document
YYJSONObject obj = YYJSON.Parse("example.json", true);

// Reading is allowed
int value = obj.GetInt("key"); // Works fine
float fValue = obj.GetFloat("key2");  // Works fine

// Modifications will fail with clear error messages
obj.SetInt("key", 123); // Error: Cannot set value in an immutable JSON object
obj.Remove("key"); // Error: Cannot remove value from an immutable JSON object
obj.Sort(); // Error: Cannot sort an immutable JSON object

delete obj;

Converting Between Mutable and Immutable

You can convert between mutable and immutable documents using deep copy:

// Create an immutable document
YYJSONObject immutable = YYJSON.Parse("example.json", true);

// Create a mutable copy
YYJSONObject mutable = immutable.ToMutable();

// Now you can modify the mutable copy
mutable.SetInt("key", 123);

delete mutable;
delete immutable;

Performance Considerations

• Use immutable documents when you only need to read JSON data
• Use mutable documents when you need to modify the JSON structure
• Immutable documents generally use less memory than mutable ones
