Does toJSON have size limit?

[xScatta]

Hey, guys i heard of that the toJSON function has got limit to 64kb, about 65k symbols, is that true?

If it is, can i somehow get around that limit?

[KariiiM]

If I'm not wrong it has no size limit

Let's wait for some sure answer, *BUMP*.

I can confirm that, there is really no limit on the size of JSON data to be send or receive, it's up to the capabilities of the function that you are using.

@KariiiM, are you sure ? Cause i want to make a table of about 3k vehicles and their data like color, upgrades and other. With one toJSON of whole table of these vehicles. ?

There's nothing in the wiki that says toJSON function has a size limit, so it probably isn't limited. But I'm afraid that big tables can cause a performance hit especially if you're using the function continuously. Why don't you try and tell us the results?

[KariiiM]

Yes I'm sure

I'm gonna use this only at resource stop, i will try it and tell you how it works. Thanks

I think there is no hard limit in what can toJSON return (and if it uses char* strings in its C++ implementation, which is probable, I can tell you that there isn't any limit).

However, keep in mind that RAM, storage and CPU power are limited resources: if your toJSON call produces a 1 GB string, it will take more than 1 GB in RAM to store it, doing any operations with it will take time and saving it to a database may be impossible or be impractical, depending of the limits of the DB software you are using. When working with large amounts of data the optimal thing to do is dividing it in smaller cunks which can be stored and processed without any problem.

What Alex said is true, as I told you there's no limit for JSON at all, but if you stored into it a large amount of data, to be saved into your database for example it will take more RAM memories to be handled, and still JavaScript Object Notation ( JSON ) has no limit specified, it's up to your server RAM too.

Okay, thanks everyone for help

You're welcome.
