How to create a QJsonDocument?


I would like to create a QJsonDocument but I can't find a way to push my data in the document. At the end of JsonBuilder::CreateContact my document seem to be empty. Some help would be great please X).

I've tried to use some pointer and add them to my doc because I was thinking of the destruction of my different object (contactObj, detailObj, addressObj, date) but with this method I can't build the type QJsonValue (can't access private member of QjsonValue::QJsonValue) so am I wrong ?

Solution

  • Notice (in documentation) the signature of the array() method:

    QJsonArray QJsonDocument::array() const
    

    When you use it this way:

    document->array().append(contactObj);
    

    you're appending an object to a temporary copy of the doc array.

    You'd be better create an array, append your objects, then set the array to the document, this way:

    QJsonArray array;
    array.append(contactObj);
    //append every else object you need
    document->setArray(array);
    

    instead of

    if(document->isArray()){
        document->array().append(contactObj);
    }
    else {
        qDebug()<<"JsonDocument not ready for insert";
    }
