Examples

<lsl> JGetValTest(){

   string j="[[1,2],[4,5,6]]";            //JSON may be written directly as a string like this in sl.
   string k;                              //this will change with each command below;
   k=llJsonGetValue(j,[]);                //returns the whole "list" of a JSON. It might just be one entry or a whole nested list or whole nested object.
   //if "j" is a single JSON_STRING, this may return what the string represents as a JSON within a string; a JSON_NUMBER , JSON_TRUE, TRUE ...

   k=llJsonGetValue("\"3.14\"",[]);       //==k="3,14" //float that was stored in a JSON_STRING within a JSON. and not as JSON_NUMBER for no good reason
   k=llJsonGetValue("\"TRUE\""     ,[]);  //==k="TRUE"            which may be important to communicate with a java application
   k=llJsonGetValue("\"JSON_TRUE\"",[]);  //==k=JSON_TRUE="�"; //which is the reverse part for an sl scripts "true" states
   k=llJsonGetValue(j,[0]);               //returns only the first entry (at offset 0). An entry can be many things, a string, a float stored as string, 
                                          //a [list] or {object}, each entry being separated by a comma from other entries.
                                          //list and object entries may contain multiple comma separated entries within them.
   k=llJsonGetValue(j,[1]);//returns only the second entry... (all the above still applies) k="[4,5,6]";
   k=llJsonGetValue(llJsonGetValue(j,[1]),[2]);
                                          //instead of getting an entry from "j" we get a sub-entry from llJsonGetValue(j,[1]), 
                                          //assuming the sub-entry is a JSON_LIST. It returns the 3rd sub-entry of the second entry, 
                                          //that is a list with 3 entries. it would make k="6". 
                                          //it will return JSON_INVALID if there is no 3rd entry in no 2nd sub-list.

} </lsl>
