[RELEASE] JSON Config Lib

Hello there.

I made this really tiny library that uses HttpService:JSONEncode() and HttpService:JSONDecode() to work.

 

This is really useful in most cases when making a script. This makes writing config files way easier than before.

 

I did nothing much other than making the lib.

 

Remember, You can only read configs that exist, So don't forget to write one before reading it lol.

 

Here is the loadstring and documentation: 

local lib = loadstring(game:HttpGet("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexDevlpr/JSON-Config-Library-for-Roblox-Lua/main/Library.lua"))()

--VISIT THE GITHUB REPO FOR MORE INFORMATION (UPDATED) : https://github.com/AlexDevlpr/JSON-Config-Library-for-Roblox-Lua 

--[[
void WriteConfig(fileName, content)
Writes a JSON config file with the given filename and content.

void ReadConfig(fileName)
Returns a table from the read config which you can use.

bool IsConfig(fileName)
Returns true if the config exists, false if not.
]]

 

Here are examples for all of the functions in the lib:

--Write Config
local lib = loadstring(game:HttpGet("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexDevlpr/JSON-Config-Library-for-Roblox-Lua/main/Library.lua"))()

local example_table = {
    money = 20,
    isbroke = true,
    msg = "This is a example script lol"
}

lib.WriteConfig("example_config", example_table)

--[[
Output: Nothing, It writes a config with the given data.
]]

 

--Read Config

local lib = loadstring(game:HttpGet("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexDevlpr/JSON-Config-Library-for-Roblox-Lua/main/Library.lua"))()

local table_uwu = lib.ReadConfig("example_config")

print("I have $"..tostring(table_uwu.money))
print("I am broke? That is "..tostring(table_uwu.isbroke))
print(table_uwu.msg)

--[[
Output:
I have $20
I am broke? That is true
This is a example script lol
]]

 

--IsConfig (Probably useless as WriteConfig has a file handler [*writefile()])

local lib = loadstring(game:HttpGet("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlexDevlpr/JSON-Config-Library-for-Roblox-Lua/main/Library.lua"))()

print(lib.IsConfig("example_config"))

--[[
Output:
true
]]

 

UPDATE:

Moved from pastebin to GitHub.
