json_clone Subroutine

  1. json_value_module.F90
  2. json_value_module
  3. json_clone

private subroutine json_clone(json, from, to)

Create a deep copy of a json_value linked-list structure.

Notes

  • If from has children, then they are also cloned.
  • The parent of from is not linked to to.
  • If from is an element of an array, then the previous and next entries are not cloned (only that element and it’s children, if any).

Example

    program test
     use json_module
     implicit none
     type(json_core) :: json
     type(json_value),pointer :: j1, j2
     call json%load('../files/inputs/test1.json',j1)
     call json%clone(j1,j2) !now have two independent copies
     call json%destroy(j1)  !destroys j1, but j2 remains
     call json%print(j2,'j2.json')
     call json%destroy(j2)
    end program test

Arguments
