editable Jason file tree

[Trilec]

Hi All, I'm hoping a bright QT users may be able to shed some light on a small example I'm having trouble with.
my goal was to take the editable tree view example and expand upon this to read Json files, I'm sure there are other ways to approach this but the focus was keeping it fairly simple and in line with the existing QT example:

The reading of the Jason file works up until the point it's injecting the treeItem into the model.
and at this point the QTVariant reports an invalid entry, this of course means there is nothing displayed in the tree except the first entry.
Data: QVariant(Invalid) QVariant(Invalid)

I'm unsure whether problem is coming from but feel it could be related to my use of the QTVariant*
(As is basically the editable Treeview found in the example section I don't feel it's necessary to post the entire code)

Some headers required:

#ifndef JSONMODEL_H
#define JSONMODEL_H


#include <QAbstractItemModel>
#include <QModelIndex>
#include <QVariant>
#include <QJsonDocument>
#include <QJsonValue>
#include <QJsonArray>
#include <QJsonObject>
#include <QIcon>
#include <QList>
#include <QVariant>
#include <QVector>

The main code snip:

QString TreeModel::processJsonType(QJsonValue mVal)
{
    switch(mVal.type() ){
        case QJsonValue::Object : return "Object";
        case QJsonValue::Bool : return "Bool";
        case QJsonValue::String : return "String";
        case QJsonValue::Double : return "Double";
        case QJsonValue::Array : return "Array";
        case QJsonValue::Null : return "Null";
        default: return "Undefined";
    }
}


TreeItem* TreeModel::processJson(const QJsonValue& value, TreeItem *parent)
{
    TreeItem * item = new TreeItem(parent);
    item->insertColumns(0,2);

    if(parent !=0 )  qDebug() << "Data: " << parent->data(0) << " " << parent->data(1);

    if ( value.isObject())
    {

        //Get all QJsonValue childs
        for (QString key : value.toObject().keys()){
            QJsonValue v = value.toObject().value(key);
            TreeItem * child = processJson(v, item);
            child->insertColumns(0,2);
            child->setData(0,key);
            child->setData(1,processJsonType(v));
            item->appendChild(child);
        }

    }
    else if ( value.isArray())
    {
        //Get all QJsonValue childs
        int index = 0;
        for (QJsonValue v : value.toArray()) {
            TreeItem * child = processJson(v,item);
            child->insertColumns(0,2);
            child->setData(0, QString::number(index));
            item->setData(1,"isArray"); //Test
            item->appendChild(child);
            ++index;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        item->setData(0,value.toVariant().toString());
    }

 return item;
}

bool TreeModel::loadFromJson(const QJsonDocument &jsonDocument)
{

    if (jsonDocument.isNull() ) {
        qDebug()<<Q_FUNC_INFO<<"cannot load json";
        return false;
    }
    //setup incomming document first
    QJsonValue jVal;

    if ( jsonDocument.isArray() ) {
        jVal = QJsonValue(jsonDocument.array());
    }
    else {
        jVal = QJsonValue(jsonDocument.object());
    }

    //process the object and arrays
    beginResetModel();

    rootItem = processJson( jVal, rootItem );
    rootItem->setData(0, "Node"); //the column data at 0index
    rootItem->setData(1, "Type"); //the column data at 1index

    endResetModel();
    return true;
}

Hi
Its hard to guess at when not running the code.
Did you check what you are actually inserting ?

item->setData(0,value.toVariant().toString());
qDebug() << "INS" << value.toVariant().toString();

and also print it the other insertion points to see if you can spot when values goes invalid.

[Trilec]

@mrjj , yes values seem to be valid, also the tree children placement is correct , but nothing shows in the tree values (except the first top value . ie first one in top level tree)

INS "-24.049999237060547"
INS "false"
INS "camplt_86"
INS "-24328"
INS "false"
INS "camplt_86CARD"
INS "seq"

Hi
Ok so the data is valid it seems.

Can it be wrongly inserted ?

I mean when you call
processJson(const QJsonValue& value, TreeItem *parent)
it is most likely recursive.
So i wonder if parent is updated for each level?

This project: https://github.com/dridk/QJsonModel should be a good starting point. It's read only so you'll have to implement the editing part but it's a start

Thanks VRonin , I had already seen this and use as a guide for the current implementation.

@mrjj it appears the data is not valid, but not sure why

a small qDebug

...
TreeItem* TreeModel::processJson(const QJsonValue& value, TreeItem *parent)
{
    TreeItem * item = new TreeItem(parent);
    item->insertColumns(0,2);

    if(parent !=0 )  qDebug() << "Data: " << parent->data(0) << " " << parent->data(1);

    if ( value.isObject())
....

output:

Data:  QVariant(QString, "Node")   QVariant(QString, "Type")
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
INS "-24.049999237060547"
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
INS "false"
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
INS "camplt_86_0910zsqu"
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(QString, "isArray")
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
INS "-24328"
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
INS "false"
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)
INS "camplt_86_0910zsquCARD"
Data:  QVariant(Invalid)   QVariant(Invalid)

Hi
I think its due to calling processJson recursively and im not sure its the right/expected parent
when you do parent->data(0)
But only using the debugger, it would be clear.

You really should make a small json file and single step the reading/adding of it to find out
what could be wrong. Inspecting each value as it happens.

@mrjj
thanks, I did a small json but the debugger had issues, ill try to resolve this and try again.

cheers

@Trilec
Ok, hopefully its easy to spot once you single step.
