Space lua: Parse JSON

Lua
1

How to I parse JSON in space lua?

js.stringify does the opposite. But how to convert a string containing JSON into a lua table?

Context: I run a command via shell.run that prints JSON on stdout

I may add a nicer way, but there’s js.window.JSON.parse(...) right now.

Yes, you can access any JS API via js.window but don’t tell anybody.

Heh thanks for the hint.

I am currently migrating this script from JS to lua. Funny that I now have to use JS again :laughing:

js.window.JSON.parse(s) leads to „Attempting to index a nil value“ error.
Seems like js.window is nil

I am running 0.10.04. my code is in a space script block in the run function of a command.define call

Ok yeah, this is only implemented in v2.
