Hi,

I wanted to know if FSON can create a JSON object, i know that json-fortran can create a json object i.e. make a json file from scratch, which can be then saved as a json file. I am curious as Fson is said to be parser.

Are you asking if FSON can write an in memory data structure to a json file on disk?

nikhil003 commented 9 years ago

Well yes and no...i am actually asking if FSON can create a data structure i.e. if i have fortran array and strings etc and i want to make a json type data structure using FSON. I can do it in json-fortran but then it restricts me to use newer version of gcc which is a limitation on my system.

I am trying to explore if FSON can do that. I am right now exploring FSON code to find this out on myself.

This is possible? If yes, could you provide some example?

No, it isn't possible with FSON. If you need to do that, I would recommend using JSON-Fortran instead.
