    I don't know where @suslucoder gets his JSON from. And I admit in my code I save/restore integers (C++ type) not floating point. But for integers at least I note that Qt JSON saves as a number, not as a string. So I imagine it would save a floating point similarly. Just saying.

        @suslucoder JSON does not convert strings to numbers. So if a value is string and you try to read a double, it will always return 0.

        A workaround for this is:

        qDebug() << "Abc:" << grvArray[i].toObject()["Abc"].toVariant().toInt();
        

        Although it does come with it's problems.

        @sierdzio I did it like this way. But it cant read some datas still. What should be the reason? It reads the first and last element of 1 array. And then, didnt read the second item of an array. Read the 4.element of array 2. I didnt understand

          Since you created the json manually you're mixing . and ,. Use the proper json notation for doubles without quotes if you want that someone else will be able to read them and don't create such files manually.

            @Christian-Ehrlicher I have LineEdit. I take datas from line edit on my qui, and save those datas in txt file which is formatted json. I want to take float or double nums on line edit.

            I have " " because line edit accept strings.

              But you cant save strings in the same way as you save floats / doubles or ints (edit: No ints).

              @Christian-Ehrlicher said in When reading QJsonArray it gives always 0:

              It's not 5.0 but "5.0" and this is a string. See also QJsonValue::Type()

              That's what @Christian-Ehrlicher said here

              So you have to differentiate what is going to be stored in your Json.
              (If you build your Json yourself -> strings with "....." and floats with . as separator to avoid read errors)

              You can save everything as string, but then you have to convert it when reading the values again (-> also works best when using a dot as separator. Not every locale supports , as decimal separator. This is why you probably got 0)


              If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

                @suslucoder
                ...Which is why I suggested you might choose to save/put in file 41.123 instead of string with quotes like your "41,123", then you will be storing a number and won't have to convert from a string....

                  Or use a proper QDoubleSpinbox

                    Or a QLineEdit with an input mask, so you can be sure that is input of this widget gonna be a number. Then you can write it as double to your Json.

                    https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlineedit.html#inputMask-prop

                      So this is not a widget issue, at least at this stage. It's a question of OP deciding on a type to be used in the JSON.

                        Exactly. You should format the data properly when you save it. Then the whole problem will just go away and a plain toDouble() will work when reading the file.

                          Thanks for all answers. I will reformat my json file and try it again
