Re: Writing JSON objects from one JSON structure to another

Because the end result was going to be a stream file anyhow, I just updated
the application to read the JSON, stringify it, then write it out using IFS
APIs.

Pretty simple but it would be nice to have something to add to a json
buffer using a node from another json buffer.

The reason for doing this is a web service I am working with for a customer
returns a max of 20 records at a time. So I needed to join all the
information in each set of records into one JSON file.

Yep. Pouring through the source too. Can't find anything. I don't want
to modify the C source either.. been a while for that.. lol.

If there was a way to parse through a tree without knowing the names and
values/types I could probably do it that way,. But I'd like to say "take
this node, and insert it in the json I'm generating".

Right now it "almost" works with yajl_addChar(yajl_stringifyStr(node))
except that it of course escapes quotes and slashes, etc. And that seems
to be a setting in the C source.

Have you looked at the base YAJL docs Brad? I'm in a hurry or I'd check
- but I found a couple fo useful "bits" when I went through them.

I am looking into trying to read through one set of JSON data and

write

certain objects/trees to a new JSON file.

Example:
yajl_genOpen(*OFF);
yajl_beginObj(); //main JSON object
yajl_beginArray('newList');

// load the old JSON data from a stream file
docNode = yajl_stmf_load_tree(jsonFile);

//find the array "list"
myList = YAJL_object_find(docNode: 'list');

i = 0;

dow YAJL_ARRAY_LOOP(myList:i:node );
yajl_beginObj();

//****write the contents of the "node" array object to the new JSON
buffer*****
yajl_endObj();
enddo;

yajl_tree_free(docNode);

yajl_endArray(); //newList
yajl_endObj(); //main JSON object
yajl_genClose();


I have tried:

yajl_addChar(yajl_stringifyStr(node));

But that stringifies and "escapes" the old JSON data. So what I'm

looking

for is something like:

yajl_addNode(node);

Where it will take a node loaded from another JSON object and add it
directly to the new JSON buffer. Not sure if that's possible. Just

want

to make sure there isn't something already out there that may do this
before I try digging into making a solution.

Thanks!
