How to decode Json using native JSON or actionjson in Flex 3

Question

I have the below Json (wf.json)

\"workflow\":{
    \"template\":\"Analysis1\",

    \"start\":{
        \"instance\":\"HDA_run1\",

Answer 1

import com.adobe.serializers.json.JSONDecoder;

var JSON:JSONDecoder = new JSONDecoder();
var result:Object = JSON.decode(JSON_STRING);

that worked for me then you can either construct new object type(s) or jsut access values either

result.template

or

result['template']

the latter is good for dynamic valus/keys needed rather than known key values
