IJsonValue

Description

interface Tinman.Core.Formatting.IJsonValue

Derived from: ISerializable
ICodeOutput
IEquatable<IJsonValue>
Extended by: JsonValue ^sealed

Represents read-only access to a parsed JSON value.

A JSON value always has one of the following data types:

array : IsArray
boolean : IsBoolean
integer : IsInteger
null : IsNull
number : IsNumber
object : IsObject
string : IsString

The JSON value may be accessed via the following getter methods, which will perform value conversions, if possible:

array : Count, GetElement, Elements
boolean : GetBoolean
integer : GetInt32, GetInt64
null : n/a
number : GetFloat32, GetFloat64
object : Count, GetMember¹
string : GetString

Use ToFile and ToString to generate parsable JSON code. To parse JSON code, use JsonValue.From¹ and JsonValue.FromFile.

Public / Methods

Copy

returns → bool: The boolean value.

Returns this JSON value as a boolean value.

The following values are returned by this method, depending on the JSON value type:

array : defaultValue ^opt
boolean : value
integer : false if value is 0, otherwise true
null : defaultValue ^opt
