<lsl> // Function: string deleteJsonElement( string jsonSource, list pathtoElement ); // Version 1.5 9/7/2013 Fixed case for a single item pathtoElement // Version 1.0 by LepreKhaun, 6/21/2013. Free to copy, modify and use as one wishes with this comment included. // This function takes a JSON text string and returns a copy of it with a specified element removed from it. // jsonSource is the JSON text to remove an element from. // pathToElement is a List containing the transversal path to the element // (as defined as "specifiers" in http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Json_usage_in_LSL ) // AND ending with the element to remove. // The element may be an array Value or the "Key" within an object // If the parent of the element is a JSON_ARRAY, the element to be removed must be an integer INDEX // If the parent of the element is a JSON_OBJECT, the element to be removed must be a string "KEY" // // NOTE: This code is not optimized nor does it contain any error checking!!! // Add whatever you feel is needed to ensure correct operation of your script.

string deleteJsonElement( string jsonSource, list pathtoElement ) {

integer placeinlist;

// Obtain the JSON object of the parent of the element string jsonParent = llJsonGetValue( jsonSource, llDeleteSubList( pathtoElement, -1, -1 ) );

// Convert it to a list list listParent = llJson2List( jsonParent );

// Do test if (llJsonValueType( jsonParent, [] ) == JSON_ARRAY) { placeinlist = llList2Integer( pathtoElement, -1 ); listParent = llDeleteSubList( listParent, placeinlist, placeinlist );

// convert to a JSON object jsonParent = llList2Json( JSON_ARRAY, listParent );

} else // We are dealing with a JSON_OBJECT { placeinlist = llListFindList( listParent, llList2List( pathtoElement, -1, -1 ) ); listParent = llDeleteSubList( listParent, placeinlist, placeinlist + 1 );

// convert to a JSON object jsonParent = llList2Json( JSON_OBJECT, listParent ); }

// Insert our results and return return llJsonSetValue( jsonSource, llList2List( pathtoElement, 0, -2 ), jsonParent ); } </lsl>
