All keys are strings in the JSON format, so all keys of other types will be converted to strings!
This can lead to loss of data where a number key could be converted into an already existing string key! (for example in a table like this: {["5"] = "ok", [5] = "BBB"})
All integers will be output as decimals (5 -> 5.0), since all numbers in Lua are internally floating point values.
This will produce invalid JSON if the provided table contains nan or inf values.
A JSON formatted string containing the serialized data
Example
Writes the positions and angles of every player to a JSON file called playerstuff.json.
local Players ={}for k, v inipairs(player.GetAll()) do
Players[k]={ pos =v:GetPos(), ang =v:GetAngles() }endlocal tab =util.TableToJSON( Players ) -- Convert the player table to JSONfile.CreateDir( "jsontest" ) -- Create the directoryfile.Write( "jsontest/playerstuff.json", tab) -- Write to .json
