Summary

Function: string llJsonGetValue( string json, list specifiers );

Gets the value indicated by specifiers from the json string.
Returns a string made by parsing json, a string representing json and traversing as specified by specifiers.

• string json
• list specifiers

When the input is invalid or no result can be found this function returns JSON_INVALID. If the result is null the function returns JSON_NULL.

Specification

Examples

<lsl> string j; j=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 ... j=llJsonGetValue(j,[1]); //returns only the first entry. 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.

j= llJsonGetValue(j,[2]);//returns only the second entry... (all the above still counts) j="[[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]" j=llJsonGetValue(llJsonGetValue(j,[2]),[3]);

                                      //instead of getting entries from "j" we get sub-entries from llJsonGetValue(j,[2]), 
                                      //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 J=6. 
                                      //it will return JSON_INVALID if there is no 3rd entry in no 2nd sub-list.

</lsl>

see LlJsonValueType for LlJsonGetValue()-examples, because its better to test if the LlJsonValueType() is correct before getting its value as that type.

   JSON_NULL may be deceptively returned instead of JSON_INVALID when noncompliant Json text is encountered by either llJsonValueType or llJsonGetValue. Fixed with release 13.09.21.281328.
