json.encode square brackets - Krstfr2k - 08.03.2023

Hello!

Is there a way to add square brackets in the result when using json.encode?

I want the following:

Code:
local var_ = json.encode({
RoomStatus = 0
)}

to look like this:

Code:
"RoomStatus":[0]

when using log(var_)

Code:
json.encode({
  RoomStatus = {0}
})

Thank you!

As a response from an API call, i get the following table:

Code:
API 08.03.2023 15:01:36
* table:
["NumberOfBeds"]
  * number: 0
["WeekDays"]
  * userdata: NULL
["RoomStatusAlias"]
  * userdata: NULL
["Floor"]
  * userdata: NULL
["Number"]
  * userdata: NULL

Is there a way to convert the "userdata" to a string?
Whenever I try to access it, I get the error message "attempt to index field 'Room' (a userdata value)".

You don't need to convert it, it just states the data is empty (NULL). Since there's no separate NULL type in Lua so a userdata entry (json.null) is used instead.
