How to read a property value of an object ?
val := obj.AsObject.S['foo']; // get a string val := obj.AsObject.I['foo']; // get an Int64 val := obj.AsObject.B['foo']; // get a Boolean val := obj.AsObject.D['foo']; // get a Double val := obj.AsObject.O['foo']; // get an Object (default) val := obj.AsObject.M['foo']; // get a Method val := obj.AsObject.N['foo']; // get a null objectHow to read a value from an array ?
// the advanced way val := obj.AsArray.S[0]; // get a string val := obj.AsArray.I[0]; // get an Int64 val := obj.AsArray.B[0]; // get a Boolean val := obj.AsArray.D[0]; // get a Double val := obj.AsArray.O[0]; // get an Object (default) val := obj.AsArray.M[0]; // get a Method val := obj.AsArray.N[0]; // get a null object
