Data Types

Primitives

{
  string: "text",
  number: 42,
  float: 3.14,
  boolean: true,
  null: null
}

Arrays

{
  array: [1, 2, 3],
  mixed: ["string", 42, true, null],
  nested: [[1, 2], [3, 4]],
  trailing: [1, 2, 3,]  // Trailing comma OK
}

Objects (Mappings)

{
  simple: { x: 1, y: 2 },
  nested: {
    stats: {
      str: 10,
      dex: 15
    }
  },
  trailing: { a: 1, b: 2, }  // Trailing comma OK
}

Special Values

Infinity and NaN

{
  inf: Infinity,      // Maps to undefined in LPC
  negInf: -Infinity,  // Maps to undefined in LPC
  notANumber: NaN     // Maps to undefined in LPC
}

Note: LPC doesn’t have native Infinity/NaN support, so these are converted to undefined (accessed as ([])[0]).

MAX_INT and MAX_FLOAT

{
  maxInt: MAX_INT,       // LPC maximum integer value
  minInt: -MAX_INT,      // Negated MAX_INT
  maxFloat: MAX_FLOAT,   // LPC maximum float value
  minFloat: -MAX_FLOAT,  // Negated MAX_FLOAT
}

Note: These are LPC-specific constants. Signs (+/-) are supported.

Escape Sequences

Standard JSON escape sequences are supported:

{
  newline: "line1\nline2",
  tab: "col1\tcol2",
  quote: "He said \"hello\"",
  backslash: "path\\to\\file",
  unicode: "\u0041"  // 'A'
}

Supported escapes:

• \" - Double quote
• \' - Single quote
• \\ - Backslash
• \/ - Forward slash
• \b - Backspace
• \f - Form feed
• \n - Newline
• \r - Carriage return
• \t - Tab
• \uXXXX - Unicode code point
