Remove$

Remove$ removes data from a JSON document using a JSON pointer.

Syntax

 RETURN_VALUE = JSON_OBJECT.Remove$(EXPRESSION)

• RETURN_VALUE is a boolean that indicates whether the operation was successful or not.
• JSON_OBJECT is an instance constructed using the ParseInstance instruction applied to a JSON document. This corresponds to the JSON parser used to access and modify the JSON document.
• EXPRESSION is an expression that corresponds to the key being searched in the JSON document. EXPRESSION uses JSON pointer syntax. You can find more information regarding the syntax of JSON pointers by reading the standard documentation here.

Examples

# Let's remove a member from a JSON document:
Funprog Remove_Member()
	 Local Clbfile SRCJSON
	 SRCJSON = '{"foo": "bar", "bar": "abc"}'
        Local Instance Obj using Object
        ParseInstance Obj with SRCJSON
        Local Boolean R1, R2
        R1 = OBJ.Remove$("/foo")
	 Local Clbfile MYCLB
        R2 = OBJ.Get$("", MYCLB)
        FreeGroup OBJ
End MYCLB -> Returns {"baz": "abc"}
