The methods, properties and events descriptions from this page are defined in our GitHub API Repository!
🎒 Examples
(JSON.stringify) Stringifies a Lua table
local encoded_value = JSON.stringify({ 1, 2, 3, { x = 10, y = Vector(1, 2, 3) }, "he" })
-- Outputs "[1,2,3,{"x":10,"y":"Vector(1.0, 2.0, 3.0)"},"he"]"
(JSON.parse) Parses a JSON string into a Lua table
local decoded_value = JSON.parse('[1,2,3,{"x":10,"y":"Vector(1.0, 2.0, 3.0)"},"he"]')
-- Outputs "the table { 1, 2, 3, { x = 10, y = Vector(1, 2, 3) }, "he" }"
note
Note that custom classes (e.g. Vehicle, Character, Prop... etc) or functions are not supported to be stringified and will be nullified.
Structs (e.g. Vector, Rotator, Color... etc) are supported and will be parsed/stringified properly!
