Support for json in flash?

[pelikhan]

Read only json loaded directly from flash?

• array of literals in flash? number[]

[mmoskal]

you can do hex `00 01 ...`; what use case do you have in mind?

[pelikhan]

Say i want to some readonly configuration data encoded as JSON. It would be great to have it stored in flash and not use head at runtime.

const configThatNeverChagnes = json`{
  "adsfasf": "sdfsdf"
}`

I guess it would be more like

const cfg = Object.freeze({ "foo": 1 })

or maybe Object.deepFreeze().

I don't think this is critical though...

In MakeCode, we've had several instances where people had massive array of numbers to implement a driver. These arrays we using heap for now good reason. I would be good to be able to encode these kind of lookup tables in flash.... So maybe not object but something like number[]

[mmoskal]

I guess we could have Object.freeze([1, 2, 3]) and Object.freeze(new Uint32Array([1, 2, 3])). Anyway, in future...
