_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The json::write package provides a simple Tcl-only library for genera‐
tion of text in the JSON http://www.json.org/ data exchange format as
specified in RFC 4627 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt.
COMMANDS
::json::write indented
This method returns the current state of the indentation set‐
ting.
::json::write indented flag
This and the method aligned configure the layout of the JSON
generated by the package.
If this flag is set (default) the package will break the gener‐
ated JSON code across lines and indent it according to its inner
structure, with each key of an object on a separate line.
If this flag is not set, the whole JSON object will be written
on a single line, with minimum spacing between all elements.
::json::write aligned
This method returns the current state of the alignment setting.
::json::write aligned flag
This and the method indented configure the layout of the JSON
generated by the package.
If this flag is set (default) the package ensures that the val‐
ues for the keys in an object are vertically aligned with each
other, for a nice table effect. To make this work this also
implies that indented is set as well.
If this flag is not set, the output is formatted as per the
value of indented, without trying to align the values for object
keys.
::json::write string s
This method takes the string s and returns it properly quoted
for JSON as its result.
::json::write array arg...
This method takes a series of JSON formatted arguments and
returns them as a properly formatted JSON array as its result.
::json::write object key value...
This method takes a series of key/value arguments, the values
already formatted for JSON, and returns them as a properly for‐
matted JSON object as its result, with the keys formatted as
JSON strings.
