Json sending and receiving and finding keys inside json

Kris Revi

@JonB wait... QByteArray QString::toUtf8() const ? :S

Kris Revi

@JonB did this

void MainWindow::onRequestedInfoReceived(QString message)
{
    //qDebug() << "[SOCKET][INFO] Requested Info : " << message;

    QByteArray messageArray = message.toUtf8();

    QJsonDocument doc = QJsonDocument::fromJson(messageArray);

    QJsonValue test = doc.object().value("001");

    qDebug() << "Board Type : " << test;
}

got

Board Type :  QJsonValue(undefined)

What does

qDebug().noquote() << message;

do?
It might remove the quoting altogether and make it more readable.

@Kris-Revi
Print out things like QJsonDocument::isNull(), QJsonDocument::isObject(), QJsonDocument::object(). What about looking at doc.object().keys() to see what is actually in there?

Kris Revi

the printing out part is realy not an issue :) i just noticed that there was added \ in the print out and i thought that that would affect the way im searching for keys!

Hi,

Side questions:

Where are you getting that JSON data from ?
Do you receive it directly a QString ?
If not, why not change the slot signature to use a QByteArray, or even better use a const reference on a QByteArray.

@SGaist scroll to the top and you will see where i get that json from and the answer to the QString question :)

@Kris-Revi said in Json sending and receiving and finding keys inside json:

Well, yes/no, but You are wanting to get back the doc2["300"] = DeviceType/"300":"ESP32" you put in, and you say you're not succedding with doc.object().value("001"), so you need to look at what the document you have parsed back has come out like.

EDIT Hang on, aren't you looking for the wrong thing? When you showed the string received earlier it was:

[SOCKET][INFO] Requested Info :  "{\"300\":\"ESP32\",\"301\":\"Matrix Display\",\"303\":\"Matrix\"}"

So why are you now asking for doc.object().value("001"); ? QJsonValue(undefined) looks about the right for that!

I'm guessing that OP get his data from QWebSocket.
So if he connects QWebSocket::textMessageReceived signal, then he'll get directly a QString.

Kris Revi

@JonB you are actualy correct! xD im looking for "303" NOT the "001" that is "Request Info"
