< p > AutoConnect supports reading the custom Web page definitions written in JSON and also supports loading and saving of AutoConnectElements. In both cases, the target object is a < a href = "acjson.html" > JSON document for AutoConnect< / a > . However, it can not save all AutoConnectElements contained in the page as a custom Web page.

< p > To load a JSON document as AutoConnectAux use the < a href = "api.html#load" > < strong > AutoConnect::load< / strong > < / a > function and load the JSON document of each AutoConnectElement using the < a href = "apiaux.html#loadelement" > < strong > AutoConnectAux::loadElement< / strong > < / a > function. Although the functions of both are similar, the structure of the target JSON document is different.< / p >
< p > The < a href = "apiaux.html#load" > AutoConnect::load< / a > function loads the entire AutoConnectAux and creates both the AutoConnectAux instance and each AutoConnectElement instance. A single JSON document can contain multiple custom Web pages. If you write JSON of AutoConnectAux as an array, the load function generates all the pages contained in that array. Therefore, it is necessary to supply the JSON document of AutoConnectAux as an input of the load function and must contain the elements described section < a href = "acjson.html#json-document-structure-for-autoconnectaux" > < em > JSON document structure for AutoConnectAux< / em > < / a > .< / p >
< p > The < a href = "apiaux.html#loadelement" > AutoConnectAux::loadElement< / a > function loads the elements individually into an AutoConnectAux object. The structure of its supplying JSON document is not AutoConnectAux. It must be a < a href = "acjson.html#json-object-for-autoconnectelements" > JSON structure for AutoConnectElement< / a > , but you can specify an array.< / p >

< p > Another method is effective when custom Web pages have complicated page transitions. It is a way to straight access the AutoConnectElements member value.

< p > AutoConnectSubmit uses the POST method to send HTTP requests. A value of AutoConnectInput sent to the ESP8266 or ESP32 with POST is stored in the request body of the HTTP request:

ESP8266WebServer class will parse the query string and rebuilds its arguments when the above request arrives. A custom page handler registered with the < a href = "https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/ESP8266WebServer#client-request-handlers" > ESP8266WebServer::on< / a > function can access the value of AutoConnectElements with < a href = "https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/ESP8266WebServer#getting-information-about-request-arguments" > ESP8266WebServe::arg< / a > function. It reaches the values of AutoConnectElements without the intermediation of AutoConnect. Therefore, its handler will not be AutoConnectAux and can send a response to the client directly. The following example is part of a server sketch which has two web pages. The < code > /hello< / code > page is a custom Web page of AutoConnectAux which has an input box named "input1". Another < code > /echo< / code > page is a page handler for ESP8266WebServer, which uses the < a href = "https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/ESP8266WebServer#sending-responses-to-the-client" > ESP8266WebServer::send< / a > function to echo back the value of an input1 as an http response.< / p >

< p > Also, you can choose another way to access arguments without going through the ESP8266WebServer class. The < a href = "https://github.com/Hieromon/PageBuilder#arguments-of-invoked-user-function" > PageArgument< / a > object of the custom Web page handler argument is a copy of the arg object of the ESP8266WebServer class. Either of these methods is a simple and easy way to access parameters in custom Web page handlers. However, if you need to access from outside of the handler to the value of AutoConnectElements, you need to accomplish it using with the < a href = "#get-autoconnectelement-from-the-autoconnectaux" > AutoConnectAux::getElement< / a > function. The following sketch code replaces the above example with JSON and PageArgument, and its behaves is equivalent basically to the above sketch.< / p >

< p > Sketches can update the attributes of AutoConnectElements with two approaches. A one is to assign directly to the attributes of a member variable of its element. The other is to overwrite them with loading the element by < a href = "apiaux.html#loadelement" > AutoConnectAux::loadElement< / a > . < / p >
< p > The elements for attributes described in the JSON document for AutoConnectElements overwrites the member variables of the target AutoConnectElements. However, AutoConnectAux::loadElement keeps the member variables unchanged if there is no element in the JSON document. This overwriting behavior is the same for the < a href = "api.html#load" > AutoConnect::load< / a > function.< / p >
< p > For example, the combination of the sketch and JSON document as follows updates only the style while keeping Caption (ie. "Hello, world") as AutoConnectText value.< / p >
