QJsonValue(p)

~~QJsonValue(p).toInt()?~~

Why?
insert() expects a QJsonValue.

@jsulm
I just read your

Port is a number, right? Not a string

If it's supposed to be a number (integer) for a port number i just like to get to converted when i get it from JSON. But not to worry, i think I mis-read what is going on here. I thought it was parsing JSON input, I thing you're talking about setting a JSON value, my bad.

Good morning everyone,
I have a project that is to communicate in mqtt with some arduino's(that's ok) but i need to exploit the data (such as the port of arduino or the state : 0 or 1) in JSON format, so i created a json file in my mainwindow.cpp :
       //JSON

       QJsonObject PortObject;
       PortObject.insert("Port", QJsonValue::fromVariant("p"));

       QJsonObject StateObject;
       StateObject.insert("Etat", "e");


       QJsonDocument doc(PortObject);
       qDebug() << doc.toJson();
The first QJsonObject is for which port i want to change his state et the second is to change the state.
I want to know

> if fromVariant("p"));

StateObject.insert("Etat", "e");

is good as :

with p for the port number and e the state : 0 or 1

And likely to exploit this json file on output application to change a state of a port (for instance).

Thanks everyone.

yes i modify my error but i want to know how can i exploit this data, for instance if i want to set up : the port 3 to state 1 ?

@feedain Please explain better what you want to achieve.
Can you please post JSON document you want to create? So thatb we can actually understand what you are asking.

Okay so, i have some numbers of port on an arduino to use by state : 0 or 1,
Example :

[
    {
            "Port": n, // n is port starts 1 to 55
            "State": e, //e is 0 or 1
        },
]

It's an example but i want to create a JSON like I show you and after that to change easily the port and the state of port
I expect i explain it better...

Ignoring the array around the object:

QJsonObject obj;
obj["Port"] = p;
obj["State"] = int(state);

jsulm

@feedain

QJsonObject object;
pbject.insert("Port", QJsonValue(p));
object.insert("Etat", QJsonValue(e));

QJsonArray array;
array.append(object);

QJsonDocument doc(array);
qDebug() << doc.toJson();

You should really take time to read documentation and take a look at examples like: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtcore-serialization-savegame-example.html

obj["Port"] = p; mean you create an array Port and a other State ?

I look this example but there is some thing that I doesn't understand

Christian Ehrlicher

@feedain said in How to exploit a json file in QT ?:

is some thing that I doesn't understand

And what exactly is the problem? How should we know it when you don't tell us what you don't understand?

i don't understand on this example how he "create" example. For instance : i create a json file of characters of a game so we have "name" "power" "life"
How do i instanciate a new personnage with this json file ?

Do you mean you want an array of "personnage" objects? That was in the sample code above:

QJsonArray array;
array.append(object);

You can keep appending new objects you create, to have as many as you want?

Otherwise, not sure what you mean by "a new personnage with this json file". The file contains whatever it contains, if it contains 10 "personnages" you get 10 personnages. The file does not create further objects, other than whatever is in it. You can create more objects in code, e.g. perhaps by copying some existing personnage object you have read from the file, if that is what you want to do.

jsulm

@feedain You should really be more clear when asking.
"How do i instanciate a new personnage with this json file ?" - do you mean you want to create an instance of a class and initialise its properties from values you read from a JSON file? If so then please tell us what exactly is not clear:

How to read JSON file?
How to initialise an instance of a class?

I will try to be more clear. I have created my JSON template which will have two parameters: the port number and the port state.
So I have created the JSON file. But now I want to use it: let's say I want to set port 4 to state 1, how do I do that in QT? That's what I want to know, because with the debug, everything is fine, but now I want to exploit it according to the port number and the state of that port.

@feedain

Iterate over the objects in your array using https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qjsonarray.html#operator-5b-5d
For each object check the port whether it is the one you want to change (use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qjsonobject.html#operator-5b-5d)
If you found the object, then change the State in that object (obj["State"] = int(state))
