easiest way to parse JSON in Qt 4.7

Question

I need to parse JSON object through Qt. What is the easiest/fastest way to do it?

Answer 1

Here is Qt style json encoder/decoder

#include "json.h"

#include 
#include 

Json::Json()
{
}


QString Json::encode(const QMap &map)
{
    QScriptEngine engine;
    engine.evaluate("function toString() { return JSON.stringify(this) }");

    QScriptValue toString = engine.globalObject().property("toString");
    QScriptValue obj = encodeInner(map, &engine);
    return toString.call(obj).toString();

}

QMap Json::decode(const QString &jsonStr)
{
    QScriptValue object;
    QScriptEngine engine;
    object = engine.evaluate("(" + jsonStr + ")");
    return decodeInner(object);
}

QScriptValue Json::encodeInner(const QMap &map, QScriptEngine* engine)
{
    QScriptValue obj = engine->newObject();
    QMapIterator i(map);
    while (i.hasNext()) {
        i.next();
        if (i.value().type() == QVariant::String)
            obj.setProperty(i.key(), i.value().toString());
        else if (i.value().type() == QVariant::Int)
            obj.setProperty(i.key(), i.value().toInt());
        else if (i.value().type() == QVariant::Double)
            obj.setProperty(i.key(), i.value().toDouble());
        else if (i.value().type() == QVariant::List)
            obj.setProperty(i.key(), qScriptValueFromSequence(engine, i.value().toList()));
        else if (i.value().type() == QVariant::Map)
            obj.setProperty(i.key(), encodeInner(i.value().toMap(), engine));
    }
    return obj;
}


QMap Json::decodeInner(QScriptValue object)
{
    QMap map;
    QScriptValueIterator it(object);
    while (it.hasNext()) {
        it.next();
        if (it.value().isArray())
            map.insert(it.name(),QVariant(decodeInnerToList(it.value())));
        else if (it.value().isNumber())
            map.insert(it.name(),QVariant(it.value().toNumber()));
        else if (it.value().isString())
            map.insert(it.name(),QVariant(it.value().toString()));
        else if (it.value().isNull())
            map.insert(it.name(),QVariant());
        else if(it.value().isObject())
            map.insert(it.name(),QVariant(decodeInner(it.value())));
    }
    return map;
}

QList Json::decodeInnerToList(QScriptValue arrayValue)
{
    QList list;
    QScriptValueIterator it(arrayValue);
    while (it.hasNext()) {
        it.next();
        if (it.name() == "length")
            continue;

        if (it.value().isArray())
            list.append(QVariant(decodeInnerToList(it.value())));
        else if (it.value().isNumber())
            list.append(QVariant(it.value().toNumber()));
        else if (it.value().isString())
            list.append(QVariant(it.value().toString()));
        else if (it.value().isNull())
            list.append(QVariant());
        else if(it.value().isObject())
            list.append(QVariant(decodeInner(it.value())));
    }
    return list;
}
