QJsonArray.toArray() then to QStringList ?

[SPlatten]

I have a JSON array in a MariaDB record, I want to convert this to a QStringList, so far:

    QJsonObject::iterator itOption = objJSON.find(scszOption);
    ... 
    QStringList slstOptions = itOption.value().toArray().toVariantList();

How do I convert from QVariantList to an instance of QStringList?

@SPlatten
QVariantList is a QList<QVariant>. Iterate the QVariant elements. There is QVariant::toString(), or QVariant::toStringList() if each individual variant is itself a list.

@JonB said in QJsonArray.toArray() then to QStringList ?:

QVariant::toStringList()

That doesn't appear to be available in Qt 5.9.2, only toStdList. However...I think I've got it:

QVariantList vlstOptions = itOption.value().toArray().toVariantList();
QStringList slstOptions = vlstOptions.value_type.toStringList();

@JoeCFD , thank you, I just put together:

foreach( QVariant vItem, vlstOptions ) {
    slstOptions << vItem.toString();
}

@SPlatten for() is better than foreach and you may need to check if qvariant is valid. <== no check is needed. If it is invalid, toString() returns empty string.

@JoeCFD , in the end I found a better solution:

QString strOption(itOption.value().toString());
QJsonDocument docJSON(QJsonDocument::fromJson(strOption.toLatin1()));
QStringList slstOptions(docJSON.toVariant().toStringList());
