Json

The Json type is used to refer to objects in the JSON format that can be manipulated by the SplashKit Json functions and procedures.

All Json objects are:

• created with create_json() or create_json(string s) or json_from_string(string s) or json_from_file(json j)

• and must be released using free_json() (to release a specific Json object) or free_all_json() (to release all loaded Json objects).
