Conversion Functions#

bool - Convert to Boolean#

Convert element to boolean.

import ison

dicData = {
    "bool(true)": "$bool{true}",
    "bool(1)": "$bool{$int{1}}",
    "bool(2.34)": "$bool{$float{2.34}}",
    "bool(0)": "$bool{$int{0}}"
}

dicResult = ison.run.Run(xData=dicData)
print(ison.run.ToString(dicResult))

{
    "bool(true)": true,
    "bool(1)": true,
    "bool(2.34)": true,
    "bool(0)": false
}

float - Convert to Float#

Convert element to floating point number.

import ison

dicData = {
    "result": "$float{3.1415}"
}

dicResult = ison.run.Run(xData=dicData)
print(ison.run.ToString(dicResult))

{
    "result": 3.1415
}

int - Convert to Integer#

Convert element to integer.

import ison

dicData = {
    "result": "$int{42}"
}

dicResult = ison.run.Run(xData=dicData)
print(ison.run.ToString(dicResult))

{
    "result": 42
}

json - Convert to JSON#

Convert object to JSON string.

import ison

dicData = {
    "__locals__": {
        "dicA": { "a": 1 }
    },
    "result": "$json{$dicA}"
}

dicResult = ison.run.Run(xData=dicData)
print(ison.run.ToString(dicResult))

{
    "result": "{\n    \"a\": 1\n}"
}

to-ref-path - Convert to Reference Path#

Convert a path string as in a/b/c to an ISON reference string a:b:c.

import ison

dicData = {
    "__locals__": {
        "dicA": { 
            "a": {
                "b": {
                    "c": 1
                }
            }
        },

        "sPath": "a/b/c"
    },

    "result": "${$dicA:$to-ref-path{$sPath}}"
}

dicResult = ison.run.Run(xData=dicData)
print(ison.run.ToString(dicResult))

{
    "result": 1
}
