FUNCTION::JSON_ADD_A(3stap)

💖 FUNCTION::JSON_ADD_ARRAY — the 3stap manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the 3stap girlies club — this is the page for function::json_add_array, and it's literally the "start a brand new array" button for your JSON tapset metrics. let's go 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

function::json_add_array — Add an array 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

json_add_array:long(name:string,description:string)

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• name — The name of the array. that's the label it goes by, mwah 💅
• description — Array description. An empty string can be used. so like, "" is totally valid if you're feeling mysterious 🙈

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This function adds a array, setting up everything needed. one call, whole array set up, no cap 💫

Arrays contain other metrics, added with json_add_array_numeric_metric or json_add_array_string_metric. so this is the little container, and those two are the things you drop inside it. iconic family dynamic honestly 👑
