json parsing lua module

Developer's Corner General Dev Discussions

Hi all,
I’m surprised to do not find an lua json parsing module while the vera massively uses json format!
Fortunately it is possible to add one external module. So for my plugin I use this one : json/json.lua at master · luaforge/json · GitHub

Maybe it could be a good idea to add it on the next firmware release.
(This module uses the MIT licence as LUA)

The mios engine supposedly has a json parser/formatter built in. See this post which is from the link that capjay linked to.

Having a json parser module available for plugins would be nice. Just have to take into consideration that Vera’s resources are limited and with complex json it can take time to parse.
