RE: Writing JSON objects from one JSON structure to another -- MIDRANGE-L

Bradly,
From what I seen json is stored internal as a text string and not a true object. The easiest way is don't used the yajl. Just insert the new records with string function.s Find the end of the array and insert the new data before it.

Subject: 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

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!
