Re: Which newsgroup for json parsing?

Josef Mollers:

I am trying to parse a json string received through MQTT
from a "Shelly Plug S", e.g.
>
{"id":0,
 "source" : "button",
 "output" : true,
 "apower" : 0.0,
 "voltage": 237.9,
 "current": 0.000,
 "aenergy":{
  "total"    : 0.000,
  "by_minute": [0.000,0.000,0.000],
  "minute_ts": 1715172119},
 "temperature":{
  "tC": 41.1,
  "tF": 106.0}}

I have reformatted your example, because it was a mess.
JSON is so easy to parse, that writing your own parser may
prove an interesting exercise for a couple of days.  I used
the following site for reference:

  <https://www.json.org/json-en.html>

I am trying to use libjson-glib but I can't figure out
what to use as the first argument to
json_gobject_from_data()!

Have you checked the documentation?--

  <https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/json-glib/func.gobject_from_data.html>

Additionally, the WIKI page has some examples:

  <https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/JsonGlib>

I am also looking at libjson-c but cannot find any
examples that could guide me.

Have you checked the documentation?--

  <http://json-c.github.io/json-c/json-c-current-release/doc/html/index.html#using>

Observe that examples are optional in that they illustrate
documentation rather then provide it.  It is better to learn
from first principles than from examples.  See also:
