QJson Parsing help request

[metaDom]

Hey, guys!

I have the following json data:

{
"IssueInstant": "2015-03-19T14:54:41.563054Z",
"NotAfter": "2015-03-19T22:54:41.563054Z",
"id": "12345",
"cat": {
"test": [{
"a": "aData",
"b": "bData",
"c": "cData",
"d": "dData",
"e": "eData"
}]
}
}

I want access to the a-e values. Right now I'm doing:

QJsonDocument jsonResponse = QJsonDocument::fromJson(ba);
QJsonObject jsonObj = jsonResponse.object();
id = jsonObj["id"].toString();

This works fine to get upper level values, but not the sub ones. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

It looks that cat is an Object with a member test. Test itself is an Array which contains one Object. This Object has the members a to e. So you have to convert cat to an jsonobject, grab the test member, convert this to an jsonarray, grab the only and first entry, convert this to jsonobject and access the members a to e ...

You get the sub ones in the same way. "cat" is an object, so you convert the value to an object:

QJsonObject catObj = jsonObj["cat"].toObject();

"cat" is an object that contains "test", which is an array that contains 1 object that contains your 5 string elements.
