So, when I was learning JSON with FiveM I couldn’t find any tutorials on how to use it, so here we go.
Inserting an array into a JSON file
local loadFile= LoadResourceFile(GetCurrentResourceName(), "./fileNameHere.json")
local information = {name = "w00pi the legend", age = 17, coolness = 1000}
SaveResourceFile(GetCurrentResourceName(), "fileNameHere.json", json.encode(information), -1)
^^
That will insert the array into the json file leaving the information array in the JSON file looking like this.
{"name" : "w00pi the legend", "age" : 17, "coolness" : 1000}
How to extract JSON information
local loadFile= LoadResourceFile(GetCurrentResourceName(), "./fileNameHere.json") -- you only have to do this once in your code, i just put it in since it wont get confusing.
local extract = {}
extract = json.decode(loadFile)
SaveResourceFile(GetCurrentResourceName(), "fileNameHere.json", json.encode(extract), -1)
If you have any tips, or see a mistake please comment bellow and ill sort it out.
Thanks!
