I have this JSON:
[{"header": "test" , "test2" : "test2"}]
I'm trying to parse this using jsoncpp.
Here's my code snippet:
Json::CharReaderBuilder builder;
Json::CharReader *reader = builder.newCharReader();
Json::Value root;
bool parseRet = reader->parse(serverResponse.c_str(),serverResponse.c_str() +serverResponse.size(), &root, &errors);
parseRet returns true. But root does not include json data.
How do I parse this?
parseRetreturnstrue. Butrootdoes not include JSON data.
This sounds like an issue with the way you're accessing the parsed JSON elements.
Below is a complete working example with a raw string literal as JSON input.
A few points:
reader to de-allocate memory appropriately at the end. In your code snippet, it's a memory leak.root is an array so it should be accessed by index and then each index contains an object i.e. root[0]["header"].Example (C++11):
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <memory>
#include <jsoncpp/json/json.h>
int main()
{
const std::string raw_json = R"json([{"header": "test" , "test2" : "test2"}])json";
Json::CharReaderBuilder builder {};
// Don't leak memory! Use std::unique_ptr!
auto reader = std::unique_ptr<Json::CharReader>( builder.newCharReader() );
Json::Value root {};
std::string errors {};
const auto is_parsed = reader->parse( raw_json.c_str(),
raw_json.c_str() + raw_json.length(),
&root,
&errors );
if ( !is_parsed )
{
std::cerr << "ERROR: Could not parse! " << errors << '\n';
return -1;
}
std::cout << "Parsed JSON:\n" << root << "\n\n";
try
{
std::cout << "header: " << root[0]["header"] << '\n';
std::cout << "test2 : " << root[0]["test2"] << '\n';
}
catch ( const Json::Exception& e )
{
std::cerr << e.what() << '\n';
}
return 0;
}
Output:
Parsed JSON:
[
{
"header" : "test",
"test2" : "test2"
}
]
header: "test"
test2 : "test2"
errors?
