Re: [json-lib-user] Have JSON values as something other than strings

[Andres A. <aal...@ya...>]

Hi Peter,

Json-lib should honor numbers and booleans, if it is rendering them as strings there is probably something wrong. Could you share your test code? also which version are you testing with?

Arbitrary javascript code is not allowed, i.e. {“dateLong”:
new Date(123456789)} due to the JSON spec

Cheers,
Andres

Subject: [json-lib-user] Have JSON values as something other than strings

 
Hi all,
  I’m new to playing with json-lib but it looks pretty
handy.
 
  One query though.  I’ve noticed that if I have an
object with Booleans, numbers and strings the json that comes out only contains
strings.
 
e.g.
  int i = 3;
  boolean bool = false;
  long dateLong = 123456786;
  String str = “str”;
 
goes to {“i” : “3”, “bool”
: “false”, “dateLong”: “123456789”, “str”
: “str”}
 
Is it possible to make it give me
{“i” : 3, “bool” : false, “dateLong”:
new Date(123456789) , “str” : “str”}}
 
Cheers,
Peter
