Here I try to display specific data from the json (here I want to display what's in "projects")
var resp = response.body;
print("mydata : " + resp['projects'].toString());
Then I tried adding a jsonDecode :
var resp = jsonDecode(response.body);
print("mydata : " + resp['projects'].toString());
Then jsonEncode :
var resp = jsonEncode(response.body);
print("mydata : " + resp['projects'].toString());
Then both :
var resp = jsonDecode(jsonEncode(response.body));
print("mydata : " + resp['projects'].toString());
When I try display only "resp" it works, but it's the access to a specific part (like "projects") of the JSON that doesn't work. The only thing that work is with an int and it display the specific caractere of the index as if the JSON was read as a String.
var resp = jsonDecode(jsonEncode(response.body));
print("mydata : " + resp[0].toString());
//display the first caracter of the JSON
The thing is when I read the response of POST HTTP requests, using jsonEncode then jsonDecode works perfectly, I can then easily access any part of the JSON :
var response = await http.post(
Uri.parse(url),
body: jsonEncode({
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": "10",
"method": "method",
"params": [someParams]
})
);
var resp = jsonDecode(response.body);
print("response body : " + resp['projects'].toString());
//display the "project" part of the JSON response
But all this doesn't work when trying to access specific parts of my first JSON file.
Is there something wrong with my JSON file ?
Thanks for helping.
Update : commas are missing in the json, I corrected it but still the same probleme

Answer 1

I ran your JSON through a JSON formatter / validator and yes, your json was missing some commas and whatnot.
Check out this Gist I created for your decoding - run it through DartPad.Dev and check out.
I made sure the JSON was a proper string before I ran it through the jsonDecode, then I just simply access its values like this:
var decodedJSON = jsonDecode(json);
print(decodedJSON['projects'].length);
print(decodedJSON['projects'][0]['projectName']);
print(decodedJSON['avatars'].length);
print(decodedJSON['avatars'][0]['resourceName']);
I got the values I expected:
3
Complexe hotelier croisette
5
Alain Martoni
I think your issue was just badly formatted JSON coming out of the pipe. Check out the Gist and let me know.
