No language I know of provides this functionality, including 4D. Perhaps you don't quite understand what JSON is. As the official website says, "JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format." In other words, JSON is meant to be a *string* encoding of structured data, specifically designed as a way to send data over a network. JSON is *not* an object, it is a string representation of an object. So one cannot "get" or "set" a JSON value, because it is not meant to be a dynamic object, it's meant to be a string used to import/export entire objects (or arrays of objects). > Are there plans to support the new 4D objects and related commands? I'd love to, but 4D does not provide any plugin support for objects, so currently it's impossible. > If not, are there any plans to provide A4D commands to get JSON values? See what I said above about JSON.
