"request": [...] and "request": {...}

Preliminary

Instructs SuperStack to respond with the objects provided. Optionally, individual parameters may be requested within objects.

Returns:

• "object": {"parameters", ... } if the object was found in the Database
• "not-found": ["object", ... ] if the object was not found in the Database
• "bad-json": null if an error was encountered in parsing the provided JSON data

Example:

1. The SuperStack Database already contains an Object named sensor 1.

   "sensor 1": {
    "chip":"BME280",
    "return": ["temperature","pressure"]
   }
   

2. Request sensor 1 and network objects

   "request":["sensor 1", "network"]
   

3. The two objects will be returned in full

   "sensor 1": {
    "chip": "BME280",
    "return": ["temperature","pressure"]
   },
   "network": {
    "connected": true,
    "address": "12-23-34-AB-BA-CD"
   }
   

4. If we only want specific parameters from an object. It’s possible to specify the parameters in a list:

   "request": {
    "sensor 1":["chip"]
   }
   

5. The response will therefore become”

   "sensor 1": {
    "chip": "BME280"
   }
