json array parsing in c

You need to access the inner array using a json_object * variable.

Try this:

struct json_object *med_obj, *medi_array, *medi_array_obj, *medi_array_obj_name;int arraylen, i;charname[10] = {0};static const char filename[] = "xyz.txt";med_obj = json_object_from_file(filename);medi_array = json_object_object_get(med_obj, "medication");// medi_array is an array of objectsarraylen = json_object_array_length(medi_array);for (i = 0; i < arraylen; i++) {  // get the i-th object in medi_array  medi_array_obj = json_object_array_get_idx(medi_array, i);  // get the name attribute in the i-th object  medi_array_obj_name = json_object_object_get(medi_array_obj, "name");  // print out the name attribute  printf("name=%s\n", json_object_get_string(medi_array_obj_name));}

You can use the jsoncpp to do this job.Array as a Json::Value, you can

medicationValue = jsonObject[medicationKey];Json::Value::Members member;member = medicationValue .getMemberNames();for (Json::Value::Members::iterator iter = member.begin(); iter != member.end(); iter++) {    the element of medication here}

I hope will help you.

If you want to access the array as a json object, you should get it as a json_object* but not a array_list*

struct json_object *lArray; ...lArray=json_object_get(medi_obj); tmp1_obj = json_object_object_get(json_object_array_get_idx(lArray, 0), "name");
