Array -> Load from JSON.lastData issue

Hi.

I'm trying to fill an array with some data from a JSON string.

I tread this tutorial and I'm trying to do somewhat the same thing : https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/978/ex ... -game-card

Is is the best way to return data from a JSON string ?

Is there any nicer way to parse the JSON string which would allow us to use string keys instead of numerical indexes that doesn't have any descriptive information ?

Based on what I saw on the tutorial, here is the JSON string I'm loading into an array :

{"c2array": true,

"size": [4,1,1],

"data": ["5","Conno d'Argos","0","Vela ledit cresdit."]

}

I'd rather have for example a js object like this :

{

"points" : "5",

"name" : "Conno d'Argos",

"cost" : 0,

"description" : "Vela ledit cresdit."

}

That I could parse and populate my Construct 2 project objects using these descriptive keys. Is it possible ?

And another question :

Here is the array filled with the Load from JSON event from my JSON string (the first one) :

Array data :

0 : 5

1 : C

2 : 0

3 : V

It takes only the first character of each array element, do you know why ?

Okay I fixed that.

My PHP array should have looked like this :

$card = [ "c2array" => true, "size" => [4,1,1],

"data" => [[["5"]],[["Conno d'Argos"]],[["0"]],[["Vela ledit cresdit."]]]

];

Instead of :

$card = [ "c2array" => true, "size" => [4,1,1],

"data" => ["5","Conno d'Argos","0","Vela ledit cresdit."]

];

Still, it's an ugly way to pass variables from PHP to Construct 2. Is there a better way ?

You could use a dictionary instead of an array for descriptive keys.

{"c2dictionary":true,"data":{"name":"Sonic","speed":5000,"cost":200}}[/code:x07a2iq4]

[code:x07a2iq4]<?php
    function c2DictionaryAsJSON($data) {
      return json_encode(["c2dictionary" => true, "data" => $data]);
    }
	
    $data = ["name" => "Sonic", "speed" => 5000, "cost" => 200];

    echo c2DictionaryAsJSON($data);
?>
[/code:x07a2iq4]

How I didn't thought about that !

Thank you
