Using cJSON to read in a JSON array

Question

I am attempting to use the cJSON library, written by Dave Gamble, to read in the following JSON array:

\"items\": 
[
    {
        \"name\": \"command\",
                


        

Answer 1

My guess (not having read the spec, and being a bit rusty with C):

request_json = cJSON_Parse(request_body);

items = cJSON_GetObjectItem(request_json, "items");
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {  // Presumably "max" can be derived from "items" somehow

    cJSON* item = cJSON_GetArrayItem(items, i);

    name = cJSON_GetObjectItem(item, "name");
    index = cJSON_GetObjectItem(item, "index");
    optional = cJSON_GetObjectItem(item, "optional");

    // Stash above info somewhere
}
