Replacement for ds_map/ds_list-based JSON encoding/decoding
Turns struct and array nested data into a JSON string. The root data type can be either a struct or an array. Setting [pretty] to true will format the JSON string in a more pleasing human-readable way, whereas setting [alphabetizeStructs] to true will output the struct variables in ascending alphabetical order. Using pretty and/or alphabetized output does incur a performance penalty.
Decodes a JSON string into nested struct/array data. This function will happily ignore formatting whitespace and handles \\, \", \n, \r, and \t escaped characters. Also supports true, false, and null values.
Returns a buffer that holds binary encoded struct and array nested data. The root data type can be either a struct or an array. This is substantially faster than sna_to_json().
Unpacks binary encoded struct/array data. An [offset] and total [size] for the data within the buffer can be specified which is helpful for working with composite buffers. Set [size] to -1 to use the entire size of the buffer. If [destroyBuffer] is set to true then the input buffer will be destroyed once the function has finished executing. This function is a lot faster than json_to_sna().
