Simple JSON parser which I can include in my code

Question

_{Wednesday, December 12, 2018 12:55 AM}

Hello,

I have this simple JSON file. I can read it and print and this how it looks. I Googled and there are many many parsers but all involve including a library. I can't do that in my project. All I can do cut and paste the parser inside my code. I tried writing on my own it was too clumsy. So if any one knows a simple copy/paste type json parser kindly let me know and pass the code. At the end of the parsing I need the values of lumen, volt, watts and current values available as integers for my usage. 

Thanks

{

    "myJsonFile": "1.0",
    "light" : {
      "lumen": 40,
      "volt": 110,
      "watts": 50,
      "current": 10
    }
 }

Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

Are you looking for the C/C++ json parser? If so, I suggest you refer to the following link.

You can use Windows.Data.Json Namespace

#include <windows.data.json.h>

in C++, but code a bit complicated

(tested in C++/Win32 on Windows 10)

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the tips but I had checked this out and it will not work for me as it involves installing a product and getting a library. Sorry I should have mentioned I am using C/C++. I am looking for full code which I can copy and paste. 

Best Regards

Hi Castorix,

I am using C/C++ language sorry forgot to mention. Windows.Data.Json Namespace is C# right? Did you mean to include a code? I did not see it. Kindly clarify. When I execute the printf() I get the following output. What I would like (ideally) is call MyJsonParser(jsonText.c_str(), &MyDataStruct) and get in return the struct filled. So I am looking for the function MyJsonParser() which exists in my program and has not special dependencies other than the default. Thanks

printf("%ws\n", jsonText.c_str());{    "myJsonFile": "1.0",
    "light" : {
      "lumen": 40,
      "volt": 110,
      "watts": 50,
      "current": 10
    }
 }

It is WinRT and can be used in C/C++ with

#include <windows.data.json.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "runtimeobject.lib")
using namespace ABI::Windows::Data::Json;
