jscript json used in vbscript?

I'm aware that there are significant differences between VBScript objects
and JScript objects but that doesn't mean something like the following
should give me such troubles?

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<%
Response.Write json.widget & "
"
For Each o In json.widget
Response.Write o.value & "
"
Next

Response.Write "IsArray: " & IsArray(json.widget) & "
"
Response.Write "IsObject: " & IsObject(json.widget) & "
"

Response.Write json.widget(0).value '<- won't work...?
%>

The above code return the following results:

[object Object],[object Object]
text here
123
IsArray: False
IsObject: True

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'widget'

/asp/json.asp, line 16


Anyone an idea how to get the dot notation:
json.widget(0).value
to work?

Like this:

Response.Write json.widget.[0].value

I Almost fell of my chair...

btw
It does make me wonder how to know 'value'
I know how to do this in Javascript but am now stumped on that in
VbScript...

I tried :

For Each o In json.widget
Response.Write o.value & "
"
Response.Write json.widget.[o] & "
"
Next

but uhm... that's a no go...

and then... why isn't widget an Array?

Do you mean you want to enumerate the object's property names? There is
no way to do that in vbscript.

A javascript array is not a vbarray. They are different things. Google
