Re: Parsing JSON array without a name

Hello Nihat,

I'm not familiar with YAJL and Scott Klement's API, but it looks to me as if your first statement assigns "node" the value of "data", the second assigns "node" the value of "generateIds" within "data", and the third assigns "node" the value of the first element of the array represented by "node" (i.e. "generateIds").

Am I right in guessing that YAJL changes JavasScript arrays to be 1-based instead of 0-based? If not, that might be your problem, since in JavaScript "data.generateIds[1]" is not defined. If so, then I would think that you were done after the third statement -- does "node" not contain its value? If not, what are the properties of YAJL_ARRAY_ELEM? I would think that one of them would have to be something like "VALUE" (?)

Hope this helps,

Mike Naughton

Greetings,
The following is JSON data subject to my question:

{"data":{"generatedIds":["4Uz+N55BR2SMxKQWyHOTpA=="]},"success":true,"error":null,"validations":null }

Using YAJL API by Scott Klement and struggling with parsing the JSON data returned from a web service cal. I can successfully read the values for the "data", "generatedIds" and the first and last element of the array. Because the array element does not have a name, I cannot retrieve its value.

node = YAJL_object_find(docNode : 'data');
node = YAJL_object_find(node:'generatedIds');
node = YAJL_ARRAY_ELEM(node:1);
node = YAJL_object_find(node: ___ );
genId = yajl_get_string(node);

Thanks,
Nihat.
