Constant differences #23

Closed worksofliam closed 4 years ago

worksofliam commented 4 years ago

What is the difference between these two constants?

I am guessing one is for numbers/strings and the other booleans?

Literals are straight letters as is - no escape . Typically used for:

 true false null 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 .

This can also be used for binary string that is normally not supported in JSON

"values" are basically strings and will be escaped when used.

ex.

json_setvalue (pJson : 'example' : 'true' : JSON_LITERAL); { "example" : true }

json_setvalue (pJson : 'example' : 'true' : JSON_VALUE); { "example" : "true" }
