dojo/_base/json.js

• Provides:

  • dojo._base.json

• Requires:

  • dojo.lib.kernel in common

• dojo.fromJson

  • parameters:
    • json: (typeof String)

      a string literal of a JSON item, for instance:
      <code>'{ &quot;foo&quot;: [ &quot;bar&quot;, 1, { &quot;baz&quot;: &quot;thud&quot; } ] }'</code>

  • returns

    Object

  • summary

    Parses a [JSON](http://json.org) string to return a JavaScript object.

  • description

    Throws for invalid JSON strings, but it does not use a strict JSON parser. It
    delegates to eval().  The content passed to this method must therefore come
    from a trusted source.

  • type

    Function

• dojo._escapeString

  • parameters:
    • str: (typeof String)
  • summary

    Adds escape sequences for non-visual characters, double quote and
    backslash and surrounds with double quotes to form a valid string
    literal.

  • type

    Function

• dojo.toJsonIndentStr

  • type

    String

• dojo.toJson

  • parameters:
    • it: (typeof Object)

      an object to be serialized. Objects may define their own
      serialization via a special "__json__" or "json" function
      property. If a specialized serializer has been defined, it will
      be used as a fallback.

    • prettyPrint: (typeof Boolean)

      if true, we indent objects and arrays to make the output prettier.
      The variable <code>dojo.toJsonIndentStr</code> is used as the indent string --
      to use something other than the default (tab), change that variable
      before calling dojo.toJson().

    • _indentStr: (typeof String)

      private variable for recursive calls when pretty printing, do not use.

  • returns

    null|String

  • summary

    Returns a [JSON](http://json.org) serialization of an object.

  • description

    Returns a [JSON](http://json.org) serialization of an object.
    Note that this doesn't check for infinite recursion, so don't do that!

  • example

    simple serialization of a trivial object
    	var jsonStr = dojo.toJson({ howdy: "stranger!", isStrange: true });
    	doh.is('{"howdy":"stranger!","isStrange":true}', jsonStr);

  • example

    a custom serializer for an objects of a particular class:
    	dojo.declare("Furby", null, {
    		furbies: "are strange",
    		furbyCount: 10,
    		__json__: function(){
    		},
    	});
