In DroidScript, there is a native SQlite function. But there is no JSON writing or parsing function.

function test(display)
{   
  
// file to store data 
   var fil="/storage/jsontest.txt";
   //build a test object
   var stuff1 = {"value":1,"name":"one"};
   
//save object in a file
   writeAsJson(fil,stuff1);
   
//get copy of the object from the file
   var newobj = readAsJson(fil);
   
//display data from the copy
   display.SetText(newobj.name +" is "+ newobj.value);
}

Someone pointed me to a snippet that shows how to simply write a single item JSON file, but there's a lot of tedium in that process. The database may be much simpler even if it is a little heavy on various resources.

As usual I have set myself a larger project than I can realistically handle. But I have time to pick away at this until it's done. So I'm moving forward. Today's progress was mostly reproducing the work I did in Tasker, and a little bit trying to write JSON. Tomorrow I might see what it's like working with databases. I do remember a little bit of db stuff... I think...
