Gets the named property as a LONGCHAR, regardless of
the JSON data type. The following are the type of return values:
- If the property value is a simple type (string, number, boolean
or null), it returns the value as it appears in the JsonObject as
a string. For example, "abc", "123.45", "-13E+20", "true", "false",
and "null".
- A JsonObject or JsonArray property is returned in its serialized
form. That is, as a LONGCHAR representing all contained values.
For example, {"name":"Alfred","age":32} or ["jump rope", 17].
The
method is useful especially for situations where JSON number values cannot
be represented by any of the ABL numeric data types (INTEGER, INT64 and
DECIMAL). This method allows you to retrieve values regardless of
the JSON data type. GetCharacter( ) and GetLongchar( ) require
that the JSON value be a JSON string.
