OPEN_ARRAY Procedure

Opens an array. Call this procedure without providing p_key to open the root array or when within another array, or provide p_key to open an array when within an object.

when creating a new APEX_T_JAVASCRIPT_OBJECT, always begin by calling open_object or open_array without specifying p_key. This step is necessary to initialize the root object or array.

Syntax

MEMBER PROCEDURE open_array (
    p_key    IN   VARCHAR2     DEFAULT NULL );

Parameters

Parameter	Description
p_key	An optional key.

Example

Create an array with various properties.

declare
    l_arr apex_t_javascript_object := apex_t_javascript_object();
begin
    l_arr.open_array;
    l_arr.append( 3432 );
    l_arr.open_object;
    l_arr.open_array( 'list' );
    l_arr.append( 'foo' );
    l_arr.append( 'baz' );
    l_arr.close_array;  -- list
    l_arr.close_object;
    l_arr.close_array;  -- root
    sys.dbms_output.put_line( l_arr.to_clob );
end;

Output:
    [3432,{"list":["foo","baz"]}]
