Serialization

Below we define a struct called Person:

struct Person
{
    public string firstname, lastname;
    public int age;
    public string[] list;
    public JSONValue extraJSON;
}

Let's create a instance and set some values before we continue:

Person p1;
p1.firstname  = "Tristan";
p1.lastname = "Kildaire";
p1.age = 23;
p1.list = ["1", "2", "3"];
p1.extraJSON = parseJSON(`{"item":1, "items":[1,2,3]}`);

Now, we make a call to serializeRecord as follows:

JSONValue serialized = serializeRecord(p1);

This returns the following JSON:

{
    "age": 23,
    "extraJSON": {
        "item": 1,
        "items": [
            1,
            2,
            3
        ]
    },
    "firstname": "Tristan",
    "lastname": "Kildaire",
    "list": "[\"1\", \"2\", \"3\"]"
}
