Example

This example parses a JSON string and prints the value at position 1.

    declare
         j          apex_json.t_values;
         l_elements apex_t_number;
     begin
         apex_json.parse(j, '{ "foo": [111, 222], "bar": 333 }');
         l_elements := apex_json.get_t_number (
                           p_values => j,
                           p_path   => 'foo' );
         for i in 1 .. l_elements.count loop
             sys.dbms_output.put_line(i||':'||l_elements(i));
         end loop;
         l_elements := apex_json.get_t_number (
                           p_values => j,
                           p_path   => 'bar' );
         for i in 1 .. l_elements.count loop
             sys.dbms_output.put_line(i||':'||l_elements(i));
         end loop;
     end;

   Output:
