Use Json data in Qt in Windows

[Negar_mg]

@JonB
thanks alot

[Negar_mg]

I used the following code and was able to get Json data from the serial port.
But the data is displayed as I sent it to you in the image, how can I separate it and store each in a different variable?

   serial.setPortName("COM3");
   serial.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);
   serial.setBaudRate(QSerialPort::Baud9600);
   serial.setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
   serial.setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
   serial.setStopBits(QSerialPort::OneStop);
   serial.setFlowControl(QSerialPort::NoFlowControl);
    while(!serial.isOpen()) serial.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);

   if (serial.isOpen() && serial.isWritable())
   {
   qDebug() << "Serial is open";

   QByteArray output;
   QByteArray input;

     while(true)
     {
     output = "a";
     serial.write(output);
    serial.flush();

     serial.waitForBytesWritten(1000);
     serial.waitForReadyRead(1000);

     input = serial.readAll();
     qDebug()<<input;


     }


   }

The data should be as follows, but as you can see in the first image, the data is not readable

I don't see a difference between those two pictures. The json content is exactly the same. If you want to parse the json you should take a look at the documentation of QJsonDocument and it's corresponding classes.

@Christian-Ehrlicher
Thanks, how can I separate the data? I do not know how to use QJsonDocument?
Can you guide me with an example? For example, what should I do to store the amount of Bat_Temp data in the x variable?

@Negar_mg said in Use Json data in Qt in Windows:

QJsonDocument

   QString input = "{Bat_temp:19}"; // you used a picture so could not get real input
  // the toUTF is due to it wants a bytearrya not qstring. 
   QJsonDocument jsonResponse = QJsonDocument::fromJson(input.toUtf8());
  // ask for a json object
    QJsonObject jsonObject = jsonResponse.object();
  //access a property of that json object
    int value = jsonObject["Bat_temp"].toInt();

for dht11Data you must use QJsonArray

@mrjj
thank you

@Negar_mg this is the best example, it helped me a lot:

@_-mohamed-_
thanks a lot
You know, my problem is that I receive data from the Arduino from the serial port
As I wrote in the above code, I can print data with an infinite loop.
As follows :

            while (true)
            {
            serial.waitForReadyRead (100000);
            input = input.append (serial.readAll ());
            qDebug () << input;
            }

And the output is as follows:

//..............................................................................................................................
Serial is open
"{"
"{" dht "
"{" dht11Da "
"{" dht11Data \ ":"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]}"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " "
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht1 "
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht11Da "
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht11Data \ ":"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht11Data \ ": [\ r \ n"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht11Data \ ": [\ r \ n"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht11Data \ ": [\ r \ n 29, \ r"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht11Data \ ": [\ r \ n 29, \ r \ n"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht11Data \ ": [\ r \ n 29, \ r \ n 27 \ r"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht11Data \ ": [\ r \ n 29, \ r \ n 27 \ r \ n]"
"{" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]} \ r \ n {\ r \ n " dht11Data \ ": [\ r \ n 29, \ r \ n 27 \ r \ n] \ r \ n } "
//..........................................................................................................................................
No data is received at first, so I do not know how to manage this infinite loop and store the data in an array

[_-mohamed-_]

@Negar_mg do you mean that you want to save the final result in a json file?

[Negar_mg]

@_-mohamed-_
i want to save this {" dht11Data \ ": [29,27]}
And I want to display each of the numbers like 27 in one lineEdit.

[_-mohamed-_]

@Negar_mg You can't use a backslash in the key, you can use FrontSlash instead

This is the code you need:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QJsonDocument>
#include <QJsonObject>
#include <QJsonArray>
#include <QByteArray>
#include <QJsonValue>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QFile>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QFile file("C:/Users/moham/OneDrive/Desktop/json file.json"); //write the file path here

    if(!file.open(QFile::ReadOnly))    //opening file
        qDebug() << "can't open the file";

    else
    {
        QByteArray fileContents = file.readAll(); // reading the file
        file.close();   //closing file

        QJsonDocument jsonDoc = QJsonDocument::fromJson(fileContents);

        QJsonObject jsonObj = jsonDoc.object();

        QJsonArray jsonArray = jsonObj[" dht11Data / "].toArray();

        foreach(QJsonValue v, jsonArray)  //printing array's values
            qDebug() << v.toInt();        //

        return 0;
    }

    return a.exec();
}

this code reads (JSON file.json) and prints it in the console, you can use the values wherever you want.

I hope I helped you.

@Negar_mg said in Use Json data in Qt in Windows:

infinite loop

Stop using infinite loops first!
Please take a look at documentation and examples to see how to properly use QSerialPort: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtserialport-creaderasync-example.html
To read from serial port connect a slot to https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qiodevice.html#readyRead signal and use readAll() in this slot. Keep in mind that you have to accumulate the data read from serial port until you got whole JSON document!

Thank you all

I finally succeeded,The code I wrote is as follows:

 MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
, ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
  {
ui->setupUi(this);

   m_serialPort=new QSerialPort;
   m_serialPort->setPortName("COM3");

   m_serialPort->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);
   m_serialPort->setBaudRate(QSerialPort::Baud9600);
   m_serialPort->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
   m_serialPort->setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
   m_serialPort->setStopBits(QSerialPort::OneStop);
   m_serialPort->setFlowControl(QSerialPort::NoFlowControl);
    while(!m_serialPort->isOpen()) m_serialPort->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);

    connect(m_serialPort, &QSerialPort::readyRead, this, &MainWindow::handleReadyRead);
    connect(&m_timer, &QTimer::timeout, this, &MainWindow::handleTimeout);

    m_timer.start(5000);
 }


       void MainWindow::handleReadyRead()
      {
   m_readData.append(m_serialPort->readAll());

if (!m_timer.isActive())
    m_timer.start(5000);
  }

    void MainWindow::handleTimeout()
 {
if (m_readData.isEmpty()) {
    qDebug()<< "m_readData is empty" <<m_readData;

} else {


    qDebug()<< "m_readData is full" <<m_readData;




    QJsonDocument jsonDoc = QJsonDocument::fromJson(m_readData);
    QJsonObject jsonObj = jsonDoc.object();

    QJsonValue jsonVal;
    jsonVal = jsonObj.value(QString("Bat_Temp"));
    QTextStream textStream(stdout);
    textStream << QString::number(jsonVal.toInt()) << endl;
}
