toJSON data

Parameters:

data - Only certain Data Types are supported:

• Boolean - serialized as JSON boolean
• Number - serialized as JSON number (floating-point)
• String - serialized as JSON string
• Array - Serialized as JSON array. Unsupported elements (e.g. Objects) are converted to JSON null.
• HashMap - Serialized as JSON object. Only String keys are supported, other keys are ignored. Unsupported values (e.g. Objects) are converted to JSON null.
• nil - serialized as JSON null

  The nil value can only be passed as a member of an Array or HashMap. It cannot be passed directly as the command would simply not execute.

Return Value:

String - JSON string

Examples

Example 1:

private _result = toJSON ["this", "is", "an", "array"];

Result:

["this","is","an","array"]

Example 2:

private _hashMap = createHashMap; _hashMap set ["bKey", true]; _hashMap set ["sKey", "Hello there"]; _hashMap set ["oKey", player]; _hashMap set ["nKey", 42]; _hashMap set ["hKey", ["key1", "key2", "yolo"] createHashMapFromArray ["General Kenobi", true, "Hello it's me"]]; toJSON _hashMap;

Result (formatted for readability):

{
	"bKey": true,
	"sKey": "Hello there",
	"oKey": null,
	"nkey": 42,
	"hKey": {
		"key1": "General Kenobi",
		"key2": true,
		"yolo": "Hello it's me"
	}
}

Example 4:

private _jsonPlayer = toJSON player; // empty string - Object is not supported
