Module Json_type

A json_type is a boolean, integer, real, string, null. It can also be lists Array or string-keyed maps Object of json_type's. The JSON payload can only be an Object or Array.

This type is used by the parsing and printing functions from the Json_io module. Typically, a program would convert such data into a specialized type that uses records, etc. For the purpose of converting from and to other types, two submodules are provided: Json_type.Browse and Json_type.Build. They are meant to be opened using either open Json_type.Browse or open Json_type.Build. They provided simple functions for converting JSON data.
