Support for key-value objects in JSON #194
Description
I have the following JSON:
{
"created": "2025-01-10T08:05:38.730Z",
"modified": "2025-01-10T08:30:59.013Z",
"1.0.0": "2025-01-10T08:05:38.747Z",
"2.0.0": "2025-01-10T08:30:59.013Z"
}Is there a direct way to get this to an ABAP structure?
A corresponding ABAP type would be as follows:
TYPES:
BEGIN OF ty_key_val,
key TYPE string,
val TYPE string,
END OF ty_key_val,
ty_ajson_keys TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_key_val WITH KEY key.
DATA(data) = VALUE ty_ajson_keys(
( key = 'created' val = '2025-01-10T08:05:38.730Z' )
( key = 'modified' val = '2025-01-10T08:30:59.013Z' )
( key = '1.0.0' val = '2025-01-10T08:05:38.747Z' )
( key = '2.0.0' val = '2025-01-10T08:30:59.013Z' ) ).
DATA(json) = zcl_ajson=>new( )->keep_item_order( )->set(
iv_path = '/'
iv_val = data ).
DATA(out) = json->stringify( 2 ).However, this results in a JSON array:
[
{
"key": "created",
"val": "2025-01-10T08:05:38.730Z"
},
{
"key": "modified",
"val": "2025-01-10T08:30:59.013Z"
},
{
"key": "1.0.0",
"val": "2025-01-10T08:05:38.747Z"
},
{
"key": "2.0.0",
"val": "2025-01-10T08:30:59.013Z"
}
] The value part could also be an object or array, for example:
{
"player1": {
"name": "Toni",
"city": "Toronto"
},
...
"player275": {
"name": "Toni",
"city": "Toronto"
}
}Could we enhance the logic so it detects that there is a "key" field named "key" and converts the data to the JSON object listed at the top (not an array)?
