Bug 274248 – [GTK] jsc_value_new_string object returned as string

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Jan-Michael Brummer]

Entering an js object into jsc_value_new_string and converting it to json leads to a string with leading and trailing quote.


{ \"test\": \"1\"}  

will be translated into

"{ \"test\": \"1\"}"


Test application:


#include <json-glib/json-glib.h>
#include <jsc/jsc.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  const char *obj = "{ \"test\": \"1\"}";

  JSCValue *val = jsc_value_new_string (jsc_context_new (), obj);
  g_print ("%s\n", jsc_value_to_json (val, 1));

  return 0;
}

OK, this is because jsc_value_new_string() creates a string, not an object. So it's correct that jsc_value_to_json() returns a string.

You can get the behavior you desire by using jsc_value_new_json() instead.

Sorry, it's jsc_value_new_from_json(). Then your test program will return:

{
 "test": "1"
}
