gvariant_serialize_data

Converts variant to its JSON encoded string representation.

This is a convenience function around [[email protected]_serialize], to obtain the JSON tree, and then [[email protected]] to stringify it.

Example: GVariant serialization (string):

public static int main (string[] args) {
	// Create a variant:
	Variant variant = new Variant.strv ({
			"str-1",
			"str-2",
			"str-3"
		});

	// Serialize it:
	// Outut: ``["str-1","str-2","str-3"]``
	string data = Json.gvariant_serialize_data (variant, null);
	print (data);
	print ("\n");
	return 0;
}

valac --pkg json-glib-1.0 serialization-variant-data.vala

Parameters:

variant	A Variant to convert
length	the length of the returned string
