- `GetObject(): JsonObject`: Returns the JSON object.
- `GetObjectFromCollectionByIndex(Index: Integer; var JsonObjectTxt: Text): Boolean`: Returns the JSON object at the specified index in the JSON array.
- `GetValueAndSetToRecFieldNo(RecordRef: RecordRef; PropertyPath: Text; FieldNo: Integer): Boolean`: Gets the value at the specified property path in the JSON object and sets it to the specified record field.
- `GetPropertyValueByName(PropertyName: Text; var Value: Variant): Boolean`: Gets the value at the specified property name in the JSON object.
- `GetStringPropertyValueByName(PropertyName: Text; var Value: Text): Boolean`: Gets the text value at the specified property name in the JSON object.
- `GetEnumPropertyValueFromJObjectByName(PropertyName: Text; var Value: Option): Boolean`: Gets the option value at the specified property name in the JSON object.
- `GetBoolPropertyValueFromJObjectByName(PropertyName: Text; var Value: Boolean): Boolean`: Gets the boolean value at the specified property name in the JSON object.

- `GetIntegerPropertyValueFromJObjectByName(PropertyName: Text; var Value: Integer): Boolean`: Gets the integer value at the specified property name in the JSON object.
- `GetGuidPropertyValueFromJObjectByName(PropertyName: Text; var Value: Guid): Boolean`: Gets the Guid value at the specified property name in the JSON object.
- `ReplaceOrAddJPropertyInJObject(PropertyName: Text; Value: Variant): Boolean`: Replace or add the specified property in the JSON object.
- `AddJObjectToCollection(Value: Text): Boolean`: Add the the JSON object to the JSON array.
- `RemoveJObjectFromCollection(Index: Integer): Boolean`: Remove the JSON object at the specified index in the JSON array.
- `ReplaceJObjectInCollection(Index: Integer; Value: Text): Boolean`: Replace the specified JSON object in the JSON array.

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 5461 "Json Impl."](../codeunit/5461.md) (20 calls: `AddJObjectToCollection → AddJObjectToCollection`, `GetBoolPropertyValueFromJObjectByName → GetBoolPropertyValueFromJObjectByName`, `GetCollection → GetCollection`, …)

## Called by

- [Codeunit 324 "No. Series Copilot Impl."](../codeunit/324.md) (20 calls: `CheckIfCompletionMeetAllRequirements → GetCollectionCount`, `CheckIfCompletionMeetAllRequirements → GetObjectFromCollectionByIndex`, `CheckIfCompletionMeetAllRequirements → InitializeCollection`, …)
- [Codeunit 8333 "VS Code Integration Impl."](../codeunit/8333.md) (3 calls: `GetDependenciesAsSerializedJsonArray → AddJObjectToCollection`, `GetDependenciesAsSerializedJsonArray → GetCollectionAsText`, `GetDependenciesAsSerializedJsonArray → InitializeCollection`)
- [Codeunit 4314 "Agent Task Log Entry"](../codeunit/4314.md) (2 calls: `FormatJsonTextForRichContent → GetCollectionAsText`, `FormatJsonTextForRichContent → InitializeCollection`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC24-30
- Changed (declaration) in: BC26

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "Json")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
