Multiple JSON objects to one JSON object

[A Former User]

While parsing INI file, I got various QVariants which I converted to Json objects using the following code:

QSettings settings("test.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);

QStringList groups= settings.childGroups();

foreach (QString group, groups)
{

    qDebug() << group;

    settings.beginGroup(group);

    QStringList keys = settings.childKeys();

    foreach (key, keys) {

        values=settings.value(key);

        qDebug() << values;


        QJsonObject object;

        QJsonValue valueJson(values.toString());

        object.insert(key,valueJson);

        qDebug()<<object;

    }

settings.endGroup();

Now I have multiple QVariants and QJsonObjects like this:

QVariant(QString, "value1")

QJsonObject({"name1":"value1"})

QVariant(QString, "value2")

QJsonObject({"name2":"value2"})

QVariant(QString, "value3")

QJsonObject({"name3":"value3"})

How can I get one JsonObject that looks like this:

QJsonObject({"name1":"value1"},{"name2":"value2"},{"name3":"value3"})

Here is the latest I've tried:

QSettings settings("test.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);
QStringList groups= settings.childGroups(); 

foreach (QString group, groups)
{ 
    qDebug() << group; 
    settings.beginGroup(group); 
    QStringList keys = settings.childKeys(); 

    foreach (key, keys) { 
        values=settings.value(key); 
        qDebug() << values; 
         QJsonObject object;
         QJsonValue valueJson(values.toString());
         object.insert(key,valueJson);
         qDebug()<<object;

foreach (valueJson, object) {
                   QJsonArray arr;
                   arr.append(object);
                   qDebug()<<arr;
               }
     }
 settings.endGroup();
}

That's not a QJsonObject it's a QJsonArray. You just append the 3 objects to the array

Thank you for the suggestion. I've tried something like this:

QJsonArray arr;
arr.append(object);
qDebug()<<arr;

but whatever I do, I get QJsonArray with only one Json Object and the output looks like this:

QVariant(QString, "value1")
QJsonObject({"name1":"value1"})
QJsonArray([{"name1":"value1"}])
QVariant(QString, "value2")
QJsonObject({"name2":"value2"})
QJsonArray([{"name2":"value2"}])
QVariant(QString, "value3")
QJsonObject({"name3":"value3"})
QJsonArray([{"name3":"value3"}])

I know I have to use for loop somehow, but I cant get it right.

[VRonin]

can you post your code?

QSettings settings("test.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);

{

    settings.beginGroup(group); 
    QStringList keys = settings.childKeys(); 

    foreach (key, keys) { 
        values=settings.value(key); 
        qDebug() << values; 
         QJsonObject object;
         QJsonValue valueJson(values.toString());
         object.insert(key,valueJson);
         qDebug()<<object;

foreach (valueJson, object) {
                   QJsonArray arr;
                   arr.append(object);
                   qDebug()<<arr;
               }
     }
 settings.endGroup();
}

the array goes outside:

QSettings settings("test.ini",QSettings::IniFormat);
QStringList groups= settings.childGroups(); 

QJsonObject iniObj;
foreach (QString group, groups)
{ 
    settings.beginGroup(group); 
    QStringList keys = settings.childKeys(); 
QJsonArray keys;
    foreach (key, keys) { 
        values=settings.value(key); 
         QJsonObject object;
         QJsonValue valueJson(values.toString());
         object.insert(key,valueJson);
        keys.append(object);

     }
iniObj.insert(group,keys);
 settings.endGroup();
}

Omg, that's right. Thank you so much!
