Question:

Load JSON Array?

Jun 16 '16 at 08:24

Just curious how i load json string that starts as array [ ie

    [
       {
          "id":200
       },
       {
          "id":196
       }
    ]

At the moment i cheat a bit and prefix the string it with { "array": and post fix with } and then use jsonobject.load(string) It works, but i assume there is a correct way?

Your cheat is likely the best solution. A JSON object must begin with "{". See http://www.json.org/

An array is just one particular kind of value:

object
    {}
    { members } 
members
    pair
    pair , members
pair
    string : value
array
    []
    [ elements ]
elements
    value
    value , elements
value
    string
    number
    object
    array
    true
    false
    null
