I have this Json object and I want to access the "duration" and show it on console using Qt :
{
"kind": "youtube#videoListResponse",
"etag": "\"cbz3lIQ2N25AfwNr-BdxUVxJ_QY/brZ0pmrmXldPPKpGPRM-8I4dDFQ\"",
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": 1,
"resultsPerPage": 1
},
"items": [
{
"kind": "youtube#video",
"etag": "\"cbz3lIQ2N25AfwNr-BdxUVxJ_QY/PkTW6UN9MH0O2kDApjC3penIiKs\"",
"id": "WkC18w6Ys7Y",
"contentDetails": {
"duration": "PT58M21S",
"dimension": "2d",
"definition": "hd",
"caption": "false",
"licensedContent": true,
"projection": "rectangular"
}
}
]
}
And my Qt code is this :
{
QJsonDocument jsonResponse = QJsonDocument::fromJson(message);
results = jsonResponse.object();
QJsonValue v1 = results.value("items");
qDebug() << "v1 = " << v1;
QJsonValue v2 = v1.toObject().value("contentDetails");
qDebug() <<"v2 = " << v2;
QString v3 = v2.toObject().value("duration").toString();
qDebug() << "v3 = " << v3;
}
However my output is :
v1 = QJsonValue(array, QJsonArray([{"contentDetails":{"caption":"false","definition":"hd","dimension":"2d","duration":"PT58M21S","licensedContent":true,"projection":"rectangular"},"etag":"\"cbz3lIQ2N25AfwNr-BdxUVxJ_QY/PkTW6UN9MH0O2kDApjC3penIiKs\"","id":"WkC18w6Ys7Y","kind":"youtube#video"}]))
v2 = QJsonValue(undefined)
v3 = ""
So v1 is fine but v2 becomes undefined.What am I doing wrong and how can I access the "duration" item correctly?
The direct answer as follows:
// Read the file which has the JSON object.
QFile file("jsonString.json");
if(!file.open(QFile::ReadOnly)){
qDebug()<< "Error, Cannot open the file.";
return false;
}
QJsonDocument jsonDoc = QJsonDocument::fromJson(file.readAll());
qDebug()<< jsonDoc.object().value("items").toArray()[0].toObject().value("contentDetails").toObject().value("duration").toString();
The result:
PT58M21S
