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}.

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.

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.

  • AHKSock by TheGood, AHKsock is a high-level wrapper which I have written to facilitate the use of the Winsock APIs in AHK. It will allow you to create clients and servers that can communicate with each other, purely written in AHK!
