JsonArray Unicode C Reference Documentation
JsonArray
Current Version: 9.5.0.98
Represents a JSON array, which contains an ordered list of JSON values, where each value can be a string, number, JSON object, JSON array, true, false, or null.
Create/Dispose
HCkJsonArrayW instance = CkJsonArrayW_Create(); // ... CkJsonArrayW_Dispose(instance);
Creates an instance of the HCkJsonArrayW object and returns a handle ("void *" pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.
Objects created by calling CkJsonArrayW_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function. Also, any handle returned by a Chilkat "C" function must also be freed by the application by calling the appropriate Dispose method, such as CkJsonArrayW_Dispose.
Properties
DebugLogFilePath
void CkJsonArrayW_putDebugLogFilePath(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle, const wchar_t *newVal);
const wchar_t *CkJsonArrayW_debugLogFilePath(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle);
If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.
This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:
- a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
- the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
- there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.
EmitCompact
void CkJsonArrayW_putEmitCompact(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle, BOOL newVal);
If TRUE then the Emit method outputs in the most compact form possible (a single-line with no extra whitespace). If FALSE, then emits with whitespace and indentation to make the JSON human-readable.
The default value is TRUE.
topEmitCrlf
void CkJsonArrayW_putEmitCrlf(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle, BOOL newVal);
If TRUE then the Emit method uses CRLF line-endings when emitting the non-compact (pretty-print) format. If FALSE, then bare-LF's are emitted. (The compact format emits to a single line with no end-of-line characters.) Windows systems traditionally use CRLF line-endings, whereas Linux, Mac OS X, and other systems traditionally use bare-LF line-endings.
The default value is TRUE.
topLastErrorHtml
const wchar_t *CkJsonArrayW_lastErrorHtml(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle);
Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
topLastErrorText
const wchar_t *CkJsonArrayW_lastErrorText(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle);
Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
LastErrorXml
const wchar_t *CkJsonArrayW_lastErrorXml(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle);
Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
topLastMethodSuccess
void CkJsonArrayW_putLastMethodSuccess(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle, BOOL newVal);
Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of TRUE indicates success, a value of FALSE indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:
- Any method that returns a string.
- Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
- Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = TRUE and failure = FALSE.
- Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.
Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to TRUE. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.
topSize
The number of JSON values in the array.
topVerboseLogging
void CkJsonArrayW_putVerboseLogging(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle, BOOL newVal);
If set to TRUE, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is FALSE. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.
topVersion
const wchar_t *CkJsonArrayW_version(HCkJsonArrayW cHandle);

The value is a value pattern which can use "*" chars to indicate zero or more of any char. If caseSensitive is FALSE, then the matching is case insenstive, otherwise it is case sensitive. Returns -1 if no matching string was found.
FindString
Return the index of the first matching string in the array. The value is a value pattern which can use "*" chars to indicate zero or more of any char. If caseSensitive is FALSE, then the matching is case insenstive, otherwise it is case sensitive. Returns -1 if no matching string was found.
topIntAt
Returns the integer value of the Nth array element. Indexing is 0-based (the 1st member is at index 0).
IsNullAt

Note: The Load method causes the JsonArray to detach and become it's own JSON document. It should only be called on new instances of the JsonArray. See the example below.
Returns TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.
LoadSb
Loads a JSON array from a StringBuilder. A JSON array must begin with a "[" and end with a "]".
