Re: [twdev] Re: [TW5] Accessing JSON tiddler data

Per the thread I opened on github, we need to keep it compatible with existing wikis that may use those types of "path strings" as top level index names. Having the code automatically try both the top-level string-index _and_ the nested object index and then somehowd3cide which one to use in each

Re: [twdev] Re: [TW5] Accessing JSON tiddler data

Is there some reason ## can't used again? And how about strict "[[...]]" and '[[...]]' for arrays? { a: { b: { c: { x: 5, y: "six", z: "[[7, "eight"] } } } } -> "a##b##c##x", 'a##b##c##z"[[0]]"' etc. -- You received this message because you

Re: [twdev] Re: [TW5] Accessing JSON tiddler data

Coming back around to this after a bit. I think the best way to preserve backwards compatibility is to setup a new text-reference field-name prefix. !! = tiddler field-name reference ## = data tiddler index-name reference What would a good doubled-char prefix be for 'nested json data-tiddler

Re: [twdev] Re: [TW5] Accessing JSON tiddler data

Yup, that is exactly the rabbit hole that led me back to examining the core json parser. I like the pointer syntax much better, it will also simplify pushing json key:value pairs to and from tiddlers as field:value pairs. I will only have to replace the '/' char with a legal field-name char

Re: [twdev] Re: [TW5] Accessing JSON tiddler data

For my part, I suspect that the use of brackets in JSON path and company would prevent the syntax from being usable in filter expressions. The filter-parser will interpret the first right-bracket as closing the operand. On Thursday, 28 December 2017 16:56:13 UTC-6, Joshua Fontany wrote: > >

Oooh. Thanks for that. I have also been considering JsonPath syntax ( http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/) and this library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonpath I will have to compare them. Best, Joshua Fontany On Thu, Dec 28, 2017 at 1:59 PM, Evan Balster wrote:
