Deep event propagation in JsonValue

發行項
12/31/2010

One of the features added in the latest release of the WCF for jQuery support in Codeplex was the ability for a user to register to listen to modifications in a JsonValue instance. However, if you have a JSON DOM and you want to be notified for changes in any member of the graph, you’d need to register for changes in all elements in the graph. This sample provides a wrapper which can be used for such. It’s a simple wrapper which essentially adds a new field to the JsonValue object, its parent in the graph. So when any change is made deep in the graph, the wrapper can propagate the change to its parent until it reaches the root.

/// Wrapper for a <see cref="JsonValue"/> instance, which can raise events for changes in the whole JSON
/// graph (not only in the immediate children).
