JSONParseResult
===============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Data class wrapper for decoded JSON.

Description
-----------

Returned by :ref:`JSON.parse<class_JSON_method_parse>`, ``JSONParseResult`` contains the decoded JSON or error information if the JSON source wasn't successfully parsed. You can check if the JSON source was successfully parsed with ``if json_result.error == OK``.

+-----------+-----------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_error_line()      |
+-----------+-----------------------+

The line number where the error occurred if the JSON source was not successfully parsed.

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **error_string**

+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Default* | ``""``                  |
+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_error_string(value) |
+-----------+-------------------------+

.. _class_JSONParseResult_property_result:

- :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **result**

+----------+-------------------+
| *Setter* | set_result(value) |
+----------+-------------------+
| *Getter* | get_result()      |
+----------+-------------------+

A :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` containing the parsed JSON. Use :ref:`@GDScript.typeof<class_@GDScript_method_typeof>` or the ``is`` keyword to check if it is what you expect. For example, if the JSON source starts with curly braces (``{}``), a :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` will be returned. If the JSON source starts with brackets (``[]``), an :ref:`Array<class_Array>` will be returned.

\ **Note:** The JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a *number* type. Therefore, parsing a JSON text will convert all numerical values to :ref:`float<class_float>` types.

\ **Note:** JSON objects do not preserve key order like Godot dictionaries, thus, you should not rely on keys being in a certain order if a dictionary is constructed from JSON. In contrast, JSON arrays retain the order of their elements:

::

    var p = JSON.parse('["hello", "world", "!"]')
    if typeof(p.result) == TYPE_ARRAY:
        print(p.result[0]) # Prints "hello"
    else:
        push_error("Unexpected results.")
