How to parse JSON (AS3)

Question

How to parse downloaded .json file with a string inside it to a string variable? With as3corelib.swc.

Answer 1

The function for parsing JSON using as3corelib ( ie not the native JSON class ) is 'decode()'

JSON.decode( inputJson );

If the input json is properly encoded, strings should be available inside the resulting object. You may have trouble parsing strings if they have not been correctly escaped, but that is a problem with the input data.
