| ===== JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) ===== | ===== JSON ===== |
| |
| JavaScript Object Notation (referred to as JSON) is a common text based format for writing objects, for example ''[1, 2, 3]'' or ''{"a": 1, "b": 10}''. | JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format widely used for exchanging data between a server and a client, or between different components of an application. While AutoHotkey is primarily known for its automation capabilities, third-party libraries offer powerful options for working with JSON data. |
| |
| AHK object syntax is very close to JSON syntax, however, JSON requires field names (like ''"a"'' in the previous example) to be in quotes, and allows new lines to be started nearly anywhere. | * [[https://github.com/cocobelgica/AutoHotkey-JSON|JSON.ahk [v1]]] by [[user:cocobelgica]] - The standard JSON library for AHKv1. |
| | * [[libraries:json:cjson]] by [[user:geek]] - A performance-oriented JSON library using machine code to provide higher speeds. |
| The traditional operations for JSON are "load"/"parse" and "dump", where loading translates JSON text into an object, and dump translates an object into JSON text. | * [[https://github.com/GroggyOtter/jsongo_AHKv2|jsongo [v2]]] by [[user:GroggyOtter]] - A very feature-complete JSON library. |
| | * [[https://github.com/TheArkive/JXON_ahk2|JXON_ahk2 [v2]]] by [[user:TheArkive]] - A function-based pure AHK JSON library. |
| ggg | * [[https://github.com/thqby/ahk2_lib/blob/master/JSON.ahk|JSON [v2]]] by [[user:thqby]] and [[user:HotKeyIt]] - A class-based pure AHK JSON library. |
| ==== Libraries ==== | * [[https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=113464|cJson--created by dll [v2]]] by [[user:Mono919]] - A DLL-based JSON library. |

| * [[https://github.com/cocobelgica/AutoHotkey-JSON|JSON.ahk [v1]]] by [[user:cocobelgica]], the de-facto JSON library for AHK. Can be a bottleneck in high-performance situations. | |
| * [[libraries:json:cjson]] by [[user:geek]], a newer JSON library with most of the parsing/dumping logic written in C to provide higher speeds. | |
| * [[https://github.com/GroggyOtter/jsongo_AHKv2|jsongo [v2]]] by [[user:GroggyOtter]], a very complete JSON library with many features. | |
