JSON

[Tore Nilsen]

An array of object would be turned into a multidimensional  array with value pairs in LiveCode. Depending on the source the main keys may be numeric or assosiative, like in these examples:

contriesArray[1][name]
contriesArray[1][capitol]
contriesArray[1][inhabitants]

Or 

contriesArray[«Norway"][capitol]
contriesArray[«Norway»][inhabitants]
