AutoHotkey-SerDes VS AutoHotkey-JSON

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.

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.
