[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63199] [feature request] add a function to inverse eval() function

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #63199 (project octave):

I might have misunderstood your original issue.
I understood you'd like to transfer variable values from a remote instance
running Octave to a local instance.
In that scenario, you could use `jsonencode` on the remote machine to prepare
the data for transmission and `jsondecode` on the local machine to recover the
original data.
Every JSON string that you'd receive would be created by `jsonencode`.
`jsondecode` would only be used on JSON strings created by `jsonencode`. So,
only roundtrips from Octave value -> JSON string -> Octave value would need to
recover the original value. You wouldn't receive "arbitrary" JSON encoded
data.

I don't know if there is any guarantee that differing JSON strings would be
decoded to unique data. (And I don't think you'd need that guarantee.)
