Hi Paul,

This might be what you are looking for: https://www.example-code.com/foxpro/json_paths.asp

I think the outside one you'll need to know. But there might be a way to deal with it.

Each time I've used the JsonObject, I've known the structure I was expecting. So doing something generic wasn't needed. I just needed to step through layers and these made it easier.

HTH, Tracy

Hi all

I am investigating the use of Chilkat's tools for parsing JSON objects but I am having trouble developing a generic routine. For example, take the following:

Local loJsonObject As 'Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject' Local lcStrJsonObject, lnNumPets lcStrJsonObject = '{"pets":[{"name":"jack","breed":"terrier"},{"name":"john","breed":"bulldog" },{"name":"joe","breed":"terrier"}]}' loJsonObject = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject') loJsonObject.Load(lcStrJsonObject) i = 0 lnNumPets = loJsonObject.SizeOfArray("pets") DO WHILE i < lnNumPets loJsonObject.I = i ? STR(i) + ": " + loJsonObject.StringOf("pets[i].name") + "," + loJsonObject.StringOf("pets[i].breed") i = i + 1 ENDDO

What I am trying to do is make the code generic such that I do not need to refer to "pets", "name" and "breed". Any help would be much appreciated. I have found a generic method for parsing JSON arrays but so far have been unable to do so for JSON objects
