AutoHotkey-JSON VS AutoHotkey-SerDes

Well, one of the addendums is (native) JSON support, which I use all the time. And I mentioned in the 2nd question*. However, there are scripts that will add JSON support, one of them was written 8+ years ago... is not like there are no options.

For that to happen you need to include a JSON parsing library. It can be G33kDude's cJson.ahk or cocobelgica's JSON.ahk.

sorry, i missed first line in script. you need to download JSON.ahk from https://github.com/cocobelgica/AutoHotkey-JSON and place in library folder in MyDocuments ```#include

Coco created a JSON lib a while back. Give that a shot. You can make an object then for-loop through it.

Hm... Assuming you're using JSON.ahk from here, the code regarding that looks right - have you tried:

JSON.ahk

Then, that is JSON so the best option is to use a JSON library, like cocobelgica's (or any other, there's a few other libraries and a COM method).

In order to keep things as simple as possible I'm gonna use my WinHttpRequest wrapper and a #Warn-compatible version of G33kDude's Socket library. Though cocobelgica's JSON library is not necessary, might be easier working with the AHK native object it provides rather than the COM object I work with as it can't be iterated. Other option is to use the pre-release of cJson.ahk.

In the above example, I use CocoBelgica's JSON library to push the JSON response to an Autohotkey object. You can then retrieve the data you need from the object.

SerDes is meant for (de)serialization. Which is completely different to load-as-object-save-reference.

For example, cocobelgica SerDes function can be used both ways, although I haven't checked how strict it is on handling case.

JSON is a nice way to persist an object to disk, another option is SerDes() which has simpler parsing as is meant for ahk_string only ecosystem, plus it supports object references.

I only use AHK_H for a specific project so I don't rely on its extra functionality, in my Standard Library I have a wrapper for SerDes(), the main selling point for me is that it has support for (circular) references.
