Source	`lualib/json-functions.lua`
Type	function module (returned table)
Access	`local json = require(ritnlib.defines.json)`
Origin	rxi/json.lua v0.1.2 (MIT)

Fields¶

Version of the embedded rxi library.

Serializes a Lua value to a JSON string.

Parameters - val :: any — value to serialize (table, string, number, boolean, nil).

Warning — Raises on: circular reference, sparse array table, mixed/invalid keys, unsupported type (e.g. function), NaN/±inf number.

local json = require(ritnlib.defines.json)
local str = json.encode({ name = "ritn", level = 3, tags = { "a", "b" } })

Parses a JSON string into Lua values.

Parameters - str :: string — JSON string.

Warning — Raises (with line/column) on malformed input or trailing garbage.

local data = json.decode('{"name":"ritn","level":3}')
-- data.name == "ritn", data.level == 3

Robust JSON — for a fast but limited encoding (no escaping, objects only), see toJson in other-functions; for reliable JSON, use this module.
MIT license — the rxi license block is kept at the top of the source file.
