json object in request message

Former Member over 9 years ago

I'm working on a widget that needs to make a json request. That request parameter is a json object.
It's something like:
www.url.com/bla "A", "b": {"c": "C"}}

Is there a simple clean way to create this?

My current solution is:

var parameters = {"request" => "{\"a\": \"A\", \"b\": {\"c\": \"C\"}}"};
Comm.makeJsonRequest("http://www.url.com/bla", parameters, {}, method(:callback));

I could make a helper class to translate a library to a json object, but if something like that already exist in the CIQ framework, I'd prefer to use that.

I'll assume nothing like this exists, so I wrote my own helper function.
Thought I'd share it for anyone else who needs such a thing:

function toJson(dictionary) {

	if (dictionary == null || dictionary.size() == 0) {

		return "{}";

	}

	

	var keys = dictionary.keys();

	var json = "";

	var value;

	

	for (var i = 0; i < keys.size(); ++i) {

		json += ",\"" + keys+ "\":";

		value = dictionary.get(keys);

		if (value instanceof Lang.Dictionary) {

			json += toJson(value);

		}

		else if (value instanceof Lang.String) {

			json += "\"" + value + "\"";

		}

		else {

			json += value;

		}

	}

	

	return "{" + json.substring(1, json.length()) + "}";

}
