JSON Reader in LotusScript

For those who are still running Domino v9 (or below) here is a LotusScript library that can parse JSON into something useful. I implemented it some time ago and since that time almost had no issues with it. Since many customers that did not migrate to v10 (and probably won't do that in near future) it could be very useful to them.

You can download my realization on github: jsonparser-ls

See example below how it works

Dim parser As JSONParser
Dim jsonObj As JSONObject
Dim jsonArr As JSONArray
Dim jsonString As String

Set parser = New JSONParser

'object
jsonString = |{"array":[1,  2  ,   300.56  ]  ,  "boolean":true,"null":null,"number":123,"object":{"a":"b","c":"d","arr":["12","23",34.56],"e":"f","ho":true},"string":"Hello World"}|
Set jsonObj = parser.parse(jsonString)
'test
Print jsonObj.HasItem("array") 'true
Print jsonObj.HasItem("array1") 'false
print jsonObj.GetItem("array").Items(2) '300.56
print IsNull(jsonObj.GetItem("null")) 'true
print jsonObj.GetItem("number") '123
print jsonObj.GetItem("object").getItem("c") 'd
print jsonObj.GetItem("object").getItem("ho") 'true
print jsonObj.GetItem("object").getItem("arr").Items(2) '34.56

'array
jsonString = |[{a:1,b:true,_dd:null},12,"13",true,{}]|
Set jsonArr = parser.parse(jsonString)
'test
print jsonArr.Items(0).getItem("b") 'true
print jsonArr.Items(1) '12
print jsonArr.Items(2) '13
print jsonArr.Items(3) 'true
print TypeName(jsonArr.Items(4)) '"JSONOBJECT"

Is it possible to convert jsonObj to String?

Unfortunately - no. I have not had time and needs for that.
