#PARSE JSON IN PICK

[Hyezus]

I have a REST API in php to which I query data from Pick through curl, my problem is the following, I don't know any method in pick to walk or to easily go through JSON in Pick, could someone help or advise me?

Some people have remarked that this is trivial.  My experience is completely the opposite.

I created a generalized json parser using the techniques that the underlying php extension module uses with a state machine.  Then I defined my own pick structure to handle names and index them to attributes.  The end result is a pick record that can be inspected to find values referenced in the original json by name.  To update or insert json data I had to create subroutines to access this special pick formatted record with special attention to types (strings, numbers, arrays, and objects).  Then finally, an encoder to create a json string suitable for use with javascript from this pick record.

I can share my code with you if you like.

UniData has a built in json parser.  But you still need to write a nice wrapper in order to give it javascript object type notation.
