    @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.

          @suslucoder said in When reading QJsonArray it gives always 0:

          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.

                  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.
