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

I would recommend qjson-backport, as it uses the same API as in Qt5.

You can conditionally load the library when you use Qt4, and use the default implementation when using Qt5.

My qjson.pri file looks like:

!greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): {

    INCLUDEPATH += \
        $$PWD

    SOURCES += \
        $$PWD/qjson.cpp \
        $$PWD/qjsonarray.cpp \
        $$PWD/qjsondocument.cpp \
        $$PWD/qjsonobject.cpp \
        $$PWD/qjsonparser.cpp \
        $$PWD/qjsonvalue.cpp \
        $$PWD/qjsonwriter.cpp

    HEADERS += \
        $$PWD/qjson_p.h \
        $$PWD/qjsonarray.h \
        $$PWD/qjsondocument.h \
        $$PWD/qjsonobject.h \
        $$PWD/qjsonparser_p.h \
        $$PWD/qjsonvalue.h \
        $$PWD/qjsonwriter_p.h

}
