### Struct

# JsonObject

#### Description [src]

    struct JsonObject {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`JsonObject` is the representation of the object type inside JSON.

A `JsonObject` contains `JsonNode` “members”, which may contain fundamental types, arrays or other objects; each member of an object is accessed using a unique string, or “name”.

Since objects can be arbitrarily big, copying them can be expensive; for this reason they are reference counted. You can control the lifetime of a `JsonObject` using `json_object_ref()` and `json_object_unref()`.

To add or overwrite a member with a given name, use `json_object_set_member()`.

To extract a member with a given name, use `json_object_get_member()`.

To retrieve the list of members, use `json_object_get_members()`.

To retrieve the size of the object (that is, the number of members it has), use `json_object_get_size()`.

#### Constructors

###### json_object_new

Creates a new object.

#### Instance methods

###### json_object_add_member

Adds a new member for the given name and value into an object.

Deprecated since: 0.8

###### json_object_dup_member

Retrieves a copy of the value of the given member inside an object.

Available since: 0.6

###### json_object_equal

Check whether `a` and `b` are equal objects, meaning they have the same set of members, and the values of corresponding members are equal.

Available since: 1.2

Available since: 0.8

###### json_object_get_size

Retrieves the number of members of a JSON object.

###### json_object_get_string_member
