CSPro ⇄ JSON Conversions: StringWriter Object

The text of a CSPro StringWriter is represented as a JSON string that is serialized according to the JSON serialization rules for string values.

When converting a JSON value to a StringWriter, an exception occurs if the value is not a valid string.

The JSON for a StringWriter named ea_table_html that uses HTML encoding, retrieved using StringWriter.getJson, may look similar to:

{
"name": "ea_table_html",
"type": "StringWriter",
"encoding": "HTML",
"value": ""
}

The StringWriter.getValueJson function returns the same value as StringWriter.toString, encoded as a JSON string. For example:

StringWriter ea_table_html(HTML);

ea_table_html.setValueFromJson("\"<table><tr><td>\"");
ea_table_html.writeEncoded("Blind <Hoon> Time");
ea_table_html.write("</td></tr></table>");

// <table><tr><td>Blind <Hoon> Time</td></tr></table>
errmsg("%s", ea_table_html.toString());

// "<table><tr><td>Blind <Hoon> Time</td></tr></table>"
errmsg("%s", ea_table_html.getValueJson());
