NAME

JSON, a lightweight data-interchange format.

DESCRIPTION

The from_json method return a PMC that contains the data structure for a given valid JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) string. For example:

.sub 'main' :main
     .local pmc result

    load_language 'JSON'
    result = from_json( '[1,2,3]' )

    load_bytecode 'dumper.pbc'
    _dumper( result, 'JSON' )
.end

To generate a JSON representation of a PMC, see "parrot/library/JSON.pir" in runtime.

For more information about the structure of the JSON representation, see the documentation at http://www.json.org/.
