Scripts

You can write your own scripts to further process JSON string.

The Scripts feature is build upon Apple’s JavaScriptCore Framework . It provides the ability to evaluate JavaScript programs from within OK JSON.

JavaScriptCore is a JavaScript engine. Thus the Web APIs  like window, document and XMLHttpRequest are not available.

However, OK JSON offers some simple yet powerful APIs to let you interact with the app. You can do a lot things with them.

An example script:

/*
@okjson.schemaVersion 1
@okjson.name Copy As Minified JSON
@okjson.description Copy input string as minified JSON.
@okjson.icon square.on.circle
@okjson.keyboardShortcut ⌥⌘m
@okjson.preprocessInput yes
@okjson.openResultInNewWindow no
@okjson.author OK JSON
@okjson.authorURL https://okjson.app
*/
 
function main(object) {
  let result = JSON.stringify(object);
  $utility.copyString(result)
  $alert.info("Copied As Minified JSON", "Length: " + result.length)
  return result
}

You can have a “Copy As Minified JSON” action with a couple lines of code.

If you need more APIs to help with your scripts, please let us know.
