I am working on an app that needs to be able to manipulate JSON strings. They are stored in a compact format then prettified for display and editing.
The main problem I have found is that if the json is invalid, it can't be prettified with the existing JSON lib. I found this project on github and ported the format class to B4j with a few additions.
The class also has methods to compact the string and validate the JSON.
The FormatJSON method should be able to be used with B4a feel free to copy it over. I don't know if the JSON libraries are compatible to enable use of the validation.
Attached are an Example project and a B4xlib
There are no external dependencies.
I hope you find it useful. Please let me know if you find any issues.
