From JSON string to JSON object

SPlatten

I want to convert JSON strings into JSON objects which I can use in C++. I know of QJsonValue and QJsonObject, I'm probably just using them wrong.

As an example I am passing a const char* which points to:

    [{"failure":"onFileError",
         "file":["~/XMLMPAM/config/simon.txt", "wt"],
           "op":"open",
      "success":"onFileWrite"},
      {"binary":[10,11,12 ],
           "op":"write",
         "text":"123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\r\n"},
        {"name":"simon",
           "op":"save"},
      {"binary":[10,11,12 ],
           "op":"write",
         "text":"123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\r\n"},
        {"name":"simon",
           "op":"restore"},
      {"binary":[25,27,28 ],
           "op":"write",
         "text":"HELLO"},
          {"op":"close"}]

The above is an array of objects. I start of by creating an instance of QJsonValue:

    QJsonValue valJSON(cpszJSON);

I then test for it being an array or an object:

    if ( valJSON.isArray() == true || valJSON.isObject() == true ) {
        objJSON = valJSON.toObject();
    }

It doesn't pass either of these tests, I've validated that the JSON string I'm passing is of the correct syntax, why does it fail and is there a way to do this?

I used http://json.parser.online.fr to verify the syntax.

See ctor of QJsonValue(const char*) - it creates a new JSon value with the given string. There is nothing about parsing.
You're looking for QJsonDocument::fromJson()
