This function can convert a JSON string into a list.
However, only elements/structures of the JSON string are transferred to the list if they can be clearly mapped there. Note: This primarily concerns arrays of simple data types, see first example.
If the function is successful, the return value is true, otherwise it is false (e.g. if an incorrect JSON string was specified in a).
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
a | The JSON string. |
b | Name of the list. |
c | (optional) If true, the list b is emptied beforehand. Default: false. |
Examples
Parameter a | Parameter b | Parameter c | Result |

{"a": [77,88], "b": [1,2,3]} | mylist | true | No value was added to the list. |
