If you need to get data from a JSONObject, consider the following example: String json = "{\"foo\":\"bar\",\"temperature\":21.5,\"year\":2016,\"message\":{\"Hello\":\"world\"},\"months\":[\"January\",\&qu...

JSONObject and JSONArray have a few methods that are very useful while dealing with a possibility that a value your are trying to get does not exist or is of another type. JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(); obj.putString("foo", "bar"); // For existing properties of the corre...

The json_decode() function takes a JSON-encoded string as its first parameter and parses it into a PHP variable. Normally, json_decode() will return an object of \stdClass if the top level item in the JSON object is a dictionary or an indexed array if the JSON object is an array. It will also retur...

The json_encode function will convert a PHP array (or, since PHP 5.4, an object which implements the JsonSerializable interface) to a JSON-encoded string. It returns a JSON-encoded string on success or FALSE on failure. $array = [ 'name' => 'Jeff', 'age' => 20, 'active' => ...

Starting with a given list a: a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] append(value) – appends a new element to the end of the list. # Append values 6, 7, and 7 to the list a.append(6) a.append(7) a.append(7) # a: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7] # Append another list b = [8, 9] a.append(b) # a: [1, 2, 3, 4, ...

Basics The Reflection API allows one to check the class structure of the code at runtime and invoke code dynamically. This is very powerful, but it is also dangerous since the compiler is not able to statically determine whether dynamic invocations are valid. A simple example would be to get the p...

First, create a new SoapClient object, passing the URL to the WSDL file and optionally, an array of options. // Create a new client object using a WSDL URL $soap = new SoapClient('https://example.com/soap.wsdl', [ # This array and its values are optional 'soap_version' => SOAP_1_2, ...

This is similar to WSDL mode, except we pass NULL as the WSDL file and make sure to set the location and uri options. $soap = new SoapClient(NULL, [ 'location' => 'https://example.com/soap/endpoint', 'uri' => 'namespace' ]);

4.0 To uppercase $ v="hello" # Just the first character $ printf '%s\n' "${v^}" Hello # All characters $ printf '%s\n' "${v^^}" HELLO # Alternative $ v="hello world" $ declare -u string="$v" $ echo "$string" HELLO WORLD To l...

The Edges The browser creates a rectangle for each element in the HTML document. The Box Model describes how the padding, border, and margin are added to the content to create this rectangle. Diagram from CSS2.2 Working Draft The perimeter of each of the four areas is called an edge. Each edge ...

This example shows the usage of the ILGenerator by generating code that makes use of already existing and new created members as well as basic Exception handling. The following code emits a DynamicAssembly that contains an equivalent to this c# code: public static class UnixTimeHelper { priva...

Method Chaining is a technique explained in Martin Fowler's book Domain Specific Languages. Method Chaining is summarized as Makes modifier methods return the host object, so that multiple modifiers can be invoked in a single expression. Consider this non-chaining/regular piece of code (ported...

This example shows how to use the IBM Watson Speech to Text service to recognize the type of an audio file and produce a transcription of the spoken text in that file. This example requires Speech to Text service credentials and Node.js Install the npm module for the Watson Developer Cloud N...

You can create multiline code snippets by indenting each line with at least four spaces or one tab: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); return 0; }

Some parsers allow code to be designated by adding three backticks before and after a section of code. ``` <p><em>This</em> is an HTML example!</p> ``` Optionally, many parsers allow adding syntax highlighting by specifying the code's language immediately after the firs...

Once you've paused execution on a breakpoint, you may want to follow execution line-by-line to observe what happens. Open your browser's Developer Tools and look for the Execution Control icons. (This example uses the icons in Google Chrome, but they'll be similar in other browsers.) Resume: Unpau...

While inside a Razor code block, the browser will only recognize HTML code if the code is escaped. Use @: for a Single line: @foreach(int number in Model.Numbers) { @:<h1>Hello, I am a header!</h1> } Use <text> ... </text> for Multi-line: @{ var number = 1; ...

Functional Interfaces Lambdas can only operate on a functional interface, which is an interface with just one abstract method. Functional interfaces can have any number of default or static methods. (For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as Single Abstract Method Interfaces, or SAM Interf...

In classes, super.foo() will look in superclasses only. If you want to call a default implementation from a superinterface, you need to qualify super with the interface name: Fooable.super.foo(). public interface Fooable { default int foo() {return 3;} } public class A extends Object impl...

Documentation comments are placed directly above the method or class they describe. They begin with three forward slashes ///, and allow meta information to be stored via XML. /// <summary> /// Bar method description /// </summary> public void Bar() { } Information in...
