	<brief_description>
		Data class wrapper for decoded JSON.

	<description>
		Returned by [method JSON.parse], [JSONParseResult] contains decoded JSON or error information if JSON source not successfully parsed. You can check if JSON source was successfully parsed with [code]if json_result.error == OK[/code].

			A [Variant] containing the parsed JSON. Use typeof() to check if it is what you expect. For example, if JSON source starts with curly braces ([code]{}[/code]) a [Dictionary] will be returned, if JSON source starts with braces ([code][][/code]) an [Array] will be returned.
			[i]Be aware that the JSON specification does not define integer or float types, but only a number type. Therefore, parsing a JSON text will convert all numerical values to float types.[/i]
			Note that JSON objects do not preserve key order like Godot dictionaries, thus you should not rely on keys being in a certain order if a dictionary is constructed from JSON. In contrast, JSON arrays retain the order of their elements:[/i]
			[codeblock]
			var p = JSON.parse('["hello", "world", "!"]')
			if typeof(p.result) == TYPE_ARRAY:
			    print(p.result[0]) # prints 'hello'
			else:
			    print("unexpected results")
