Writing a json file!

What i need it to look like

{
    "Device": [
        {
            "IPA": "studiolights",
            "Icon": "fa_bolt",
            "Name": "Studio Lights",
            "Status": "online",
            "Type": "Strip",
            "UVLights": false
        }
    ]
}

what i have so far

            QJsonObject jsonObject;
            jsonObject.insert("IPA", "studiolights");
            jsonObject.insert("Icon", "fa_bolt");
            jsonObject.insert("Name", "Studio Lights");
            jsonObject.insert("Status", "online");
            jsonObject.insert("Type", "Strip");
            jsonObject.insert("UVLights", "false");

            QJsonDocument jsonDoc;
            jsonDoc.setObject(jsonObject);

            file.write(jsonDoc.toJson());

            file.close();

how to i insert the "Device": [ ? :S

Hi,

Create a QJsonArray to contain your list of objects and then an object to contain that array.

@Kris-Revi
From the [ ... ] I think you have a QJsonObject with name Device and its value is a QJsonValue which is a QJsonArray. Insert that between your QJsonDocument and your QJsonObject jsonObject.

got it working :) thanks @JonB and @SGaist

            QJsonObject studiolights;

            studiolights.insert("IPA", "studiolights");
            studiolights.insert("Icon", "fa_bolt");
            studiolights.insert("Name", "Studio Lights");
            studiolights.insert("Status", "online");
            studiolights.insert("Type", "Strip");
            studiolights.insert("UVLights", "false");

            QJsonArray devices;

            devices.append(studiolights);

            QJsonObject obj;
            obj["Device"] = devices;

            QJsonDocument jsonDoc;
            jsonDoc.setObject(obj);

            file.write(jsonDoc.toJson());

            file.close();
