• public JSONTokener(java.lang.String s)

  Construct a JSONTokener from a string.

  Parameters:

  s - A source string.

Method Detail

• public void back()

  Back up one character. This provides a sort of lookahead capability, so that you can test for a digit or letter before attempting to parse the next number or identifier.

• public static int dehexchar(char c)

  Get the hex value of a character (base16).

  Parameters:

  c - A character between '0' and '9' or between 'A' and 'F' or between 'a' and 'f'.

  Returns:

  An int between 0 and 15, or -1 if c was not a hex digit.

• public boolean more()

  Determine if the source string still contains characters that next() can consume.

  Returns:

  true if not yet at the end of the source.

• public char next()

  Get the next character in the source string.

  Returns:

  The next character, or 0 if past the end of the source string.

• public char next(char c)

  Consume the next character, and check that it matches a specified character.

  throws:

  JSONException if the character does not match.

  Parameters:

  c - The character to match.

  Returns:

  The character.

• public java.lang.String next(int n)

  Get the next n characters.

  throws:

  throws:

  JSONException

  Returns:

  A character, or 0 if there are no more characters.

• public java.lang.String nextString(char quote)
