Hello I get the next result in a web API in JSON format:
[
{
"$id":"47",
"CodISO":"BIH",
"ES":"Bosnia y Herzegovina",
"EN":"Bosnia and Herzegovina"
},
{
"$id":"48",
"CodISO":"BLR",
"ES":"Bielorrusia",
"EN":"Belarus"
},
{
"$id":"49",
"CodISO":"BLZ",
"ES":"Belice",
"EN":"Belize"
},
{
"$id":"50",
"CodISO":"BOL",
"ES":"Bolivia",
"EN":"Bolivia"
},
{
"$id":"51",
"CodISO":"BON",
"ES":"Bonaire",
"EN":"Bonaire"
},
{
"$id":"52",
"CodISO":"BOT",
"ES":"Botsuana",
"EN":"Botswana"
},
{
"$id":"53",
"CodISO":"BRA",
"ES":"Brasil",
"EN":"Brazil"
},
{
"$id":"54",
"CodISO":"BRB",
"ES":"Barbados",
"EN":"Barbados"
}
]
Now, I want read the value from item 'ES' where the value of item 'CodISO' = 'BOL' in Delphi SuperObject, I'm not able to find the solution, took all day trying it.
I don't know how iterate with SuperObject elements as I do it with Embarcadero TJSONValue, TJSONObject, TJSONArray. I'm a newbie with SuperObject:
var
json: ISuperObject;
Retriever: TIdHTTP;
Url: string;
AnsiStr: AnsiString;
begin
URL := Form1.RestClient1.BaseURL;
try
Retriever := TIdHTTP.Create(nil);
try
AnsiStr := Retriever.Get(Url);
json := SO(AnsiStr);
{ Here code to iterate with json elements in SuperObject.......
.
.
.
.
}
finally
Retriever.Free;
end;
except
on E: Exception do
ShowMessage(E.ClassName + ': ' + E.Message);
end;
End;
As Sir Rufo said, you need to read the SuperObject documentation.
Try something like this:
var
JsonArr, JsonObj: ISuperObject;
Retriever: TIdHTTP;
Url, JsonStr, ES: string;
I: Integer;
begin
URL := Form1.RestClient1.BaseURL;
try
Retriever := TIdHTTP.Create(nil);
try
JsonStr := Retriever.Get(Url);
finally
Retriever.Free;
end;
JsonArr := SO(JsonStr).AsArray;
for I := 0 to JsonArr.Length-1 do
begin
JsonObj := JsonArr.O[I];
if JsonObj.S['CodISO'] = 'BOL' then
begin
ES := JsonObj.S['ES'];
Break;
end;
end;
except
on E: Exception do
ShowMessage(E.ClassName + ': ' + E.Message);
end;
end;

I have a fairly simple JSON:
[
{
"hero-img": "girl-ipad.png",
"main-story-headline": "How to Stay Mentally Healthy During a Pandemic",
"main-story-paragraph": "lorem ipsum",
"main-story-button-text": "Read More"
},
{
"hero-img": "painter-woman.png",
"main-story-headline": "How to Stay Mentally Healthy During a Pandemic",
"main-story-paragraph": "lorem ipsum",
"main-story-button-text": "Explore More"
},
{
"hero-img": "old-man.png",
"main-story-headline": "How to Stay Mentally Healthy During a Pandemic",
"main-story-paragraph": "lorem ipsum",
"main-story-button-text": "Get Yours Now"
} ]
By using Delphi 10.3 Rio, I want to iterate through all properties no matter how they are named. I've started this way:
program JuTemplates;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
{$R *.res}
uses
System.SysUtils, System.JSON, System.IOUtils, System.Types;
var
root, OutputDir, TemplatesDir, JsonDir, jsonText: string;
JsonFiles: TStringDynArray;
i, j: Integer;
JSONValue: TJSONObject;
JSONValues: TJSONArray;
begin
try
try
root := ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0));
OutputDir := root + 'OutputDir\';
TemplatesDir := root + 'TemplatesDir\';
JsonDir := root + 'JsonDir\';
writeln('Processing: ' + JsonDir);
JsonFiles := TDirectory.GetFiles(JsonDir);
for i := 0 to High(JsonFiles) do
begin
jsonText := TFILE.ReadAllText(JsonFiles[i]);
JSONValues := TJSONObject.ParseJSONValue(jsonText) as TJSONArray;
for j := 0 to JSONValues.Count - 1 do
begin
JSONValue := JSONValues.Items[i] as TJSONObject;
// here I should iterate through that JSONValue object
end;
end;
except
on E: Exception do
Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message);
end;
finally
writeln ('Press any key to continue');
readln;
end;
end.
To enumerate a JSONObject, you can use an enumerator like below.
Use for..in loop (implicit enumerator)
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
JSONData : String;
JSONObject : TJSONObject;
JSONPair : TJSONPair;
begin
JSONData := '... some JSON data ...'; // Place you data here
JSONObject := TJSonObject.ParseJSONValue(JSONData) as TJSONObject;
try
for JSONPair in JSONObject do
ShowMessage(Format('1) Key=%s Value=%s',
[JSONPair.JsonString.ToString,
JSONPair.JsonValue.ToString]));
finally
JSONObject.Free;
end;
end;
Use a classic for loop:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
JSONData : String;
JSONObject : TJSONObject;
JSONPair : TJSONPair;
I : Integer;
begin
JSONData := '... some JSON data ...'; // Place you data here
JSONObject := TJSonObject.ParseJSONValue(JSONData) as TJSONObject;
try
for I := 0 to JSONObject.Count - 1 do begin
ShowMessage(Format('Key=%s Value=%s',
[JSONObject.Pairs[I].JsonString.ToString,
JSONObject.Pairs[I].JsonValue.ToString]));
end;
finally
JSONObject.Free;
end;
end;
Use an explicit enumerator and a while loop:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
JSONData : String;
JSONObject : TJSONObject;
JSONEnumerator : TJSONObject.TEnumerator;
JSONPair : TJSONPair;
begin
JSONData := '... some JSON data ...'; // Place you data here
JSONObject := TJSonObject.ParseJSONValue(JSONData) as TJSONObject;
try
JSONEnumerator := JSONObject.GetEnumerator;
try
while JSONEnumerator.MoveNext do begin
JSONPair := JSONEnumerator.Current;
ShowMessage(Format('Key=%s Value=%s',
[JSONPair.JsonString.ToString,
JSONPair.JsonValue.ToString]));
end;
finally
JSONEnumerator.Free;
end;
finally
JSONObject.Free;
end;
end;
Note that you may need to check if JSONPair.JsonValue has childs and enumerate those childs with another enumerator, recursively.
How can an array of record be stored in JSON via SuperObject library. For example..
type
TData = record
str: string;
int: Integer;
bool: Boolean;
flt: Double;
end;
var
DataArray: Array[0..100] of TData;
Just use the superobject Marshalling TSuperRTTIContext
program Project1;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
{$R *.res}
uses
superobject,
System.SysUtils;
type
TData = record
str : string;
int : Integer;
bool : Boolean;
flt : Double;
end;
TDataArray = Array [0 .. 100] of TData;
procedure Test;
var
DataArray : TDataArray;
so : ISuperObject;
ctx : TSuperRttiContext;
begin
ctx := TSuperRttiContext.Create;
try
so := ctx.AsJson<TDataArray>( DataArray );
finally
ctx.Free;
end;
Writeln( so.AsJson );
end;
begin
try
Test;
except
on E : Exception do
Writeln( E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message );
end;
ReadLn;
end.
Make it a string first.
Your array:
//Array[0] := 'Apple';
//Array[1] := 'Orange';
//Array[2] := 'Banana';
myArrayAsStr := '"MyArray": [{ "1": "' + Array[0] +'", "2": "' + Array[1] +'"}';
Then you can just make it into JSON with SO(myArrayAsStr)
You can always generate your array as string in a different procedure but I think thats the way to do it.
Ill keep checking if there is an easier way ;)
EDIT:
SuperObject also has the following function:
function SA(const Args: array of const): ISuperObject; overload;
You will be able to convert that to a string again and add it in the total JSON string.
I'm trying to get JSON data from an URL. The site I'm trying to connect is:
http://www.bitven.com/assets/js/rates.js
It contains the following JSON string:
{
"USD_TO_BSF_RATE": 112268.29,
"BTC_TO_USD_RATE": 13870.9,
"ETH_TO_USD_RATE": 752.222,
"BCH_TO_USD_RATE": 2960.81,
"LTC_TO_USD_RATE": 272.476,
"XRP_TO_USD_RATE": 1.01954,
"ETC_TO_USD_RATE": 31.1101,
"DASH_TO_USD_RATE": 1178.0,
"ZEC_TO_USD_RATE": 561.377,
"XMR_TO_USD_RATE": 354.709
}
I need to get the value of USD_TO_BSF_RATE, which is updated every 5 minutes in the site I mentioned. My code looks like:
uses
... System.JSON, IdHTTP;
function GetUrlContent(s: string): string;
var
IdHTTP1: TIdHTTP;
begin
IdHTTP1.Create;
GetUrlContent:=IdHTTP1.Get(s);
IdHTTP1.Destroy;
end;
procedure DolarUpdate;
var
json: string;
obj: TJSONObject;
url: string;
begin
try
json:=GetUrlContent('http://www.bitven.com/assets/js/rates.js');
try
obj := TJSONObject.ParseJSONValue(json) as TJSONObject;
TabbedForm.Edit2.Text := obj.Values['USD_TO_BSF_RATE'].Value;
finally
obj.Free;
end;
except
on E : Exception do
begin
ShowMessage('Error'+sLineBreak+E.ClassName+sLineBreak +E.Message);
end;
end;
end;
My app doesn't function correctly, nor return any messages. It only crashes.
What am I doing wrong?
Your GetUrlContent() function is not coded correctly. It needs to look like this instead:
function GetUrlContent(s: string): string;
var
IdHTTP1: TIdHTTP;
begin
IdHTTP1 := TIdHTTP.Create;
try
Result := IdHTTP1.Get(s);
finally
IdHTTP1.Free;
end;
end;
And your DolarUpdate() procedure should look more like this instead:
procedure DolarUpdate;
var
json: string;
obj: TJSONObject;
url: string;
begin
try
json := GetUrlContent('http://www.bitven.com/assets/js/rates.js');
obj := TJSONObject.ParseJSONValue(json) as TJSONObject;
if obj = nil then raise Exception.Create('Error parsing JSON');
try
TabbedForm.Edit2.Text := obj.Values['USD_TO_BSF_RATE'].Value;
finally
obj.Free;
end;
except
on E : Exception do
begin
ShowMessage('Error' + sLineBreak + E.ClassName + sLineBreak + E.Message);
end;
end;
end;
I'm trying to parse a JSON file using ISuperObject. My JSON file looks like this:
{
"status":"ok",
"follows":{
"count":868,
"page_info":{
"has_previous_page":false,
"start_cursor":null,
"end_cursor":"SbXc6VJsoeTs",
"has_next_page":true
},
"nodes":[
{
"username":"username1",
"requested_by_viewer":false,
"followed_by_viewer":true,
"profile_pic_url":"URL link",
"full_name":"name",
"is_verified":false,
"id":"ID"
},
{
"username":"username2",
"requested_by_viewer":false,
"followed_by_viewer":true,
"profile_pic_url":"URL link",
"full_name":"username2",
"is_verified":false,
"id":"ID"
},
{
"username":"_username3",
"..."
]
}
I want all of the username values to be listed in a Memo.
Here is what I have tried:
var
json : ISuperObject;
row_item : ISuperObject;
begin
json := TSuperObject.ParseFile('C:\json.txt', TRUE);
for row_item in json['nodes'] do
begin
Memo1.Lines.Add(elements_itemS['usernames']);
end;
end;
I get an Access Violation on the for loop. Any ideas?
The code should look more like this instead:
var
json : ISuperObject;
node : ISuperObject;
item : IMember;
begin
json := TSuperObject.ParseFile('C:\json.txt', TRUE);
for item in json.O['follows'].A['nodes'] do
begin
node := item.AsObject;
Memo1.Lines.Add(node.S['username']);
end;
end;
Or this:
var
json : ISuperObject;
node : ISuperObject;
item : IMember;
begin
json := TSuperObject.ParseFile('C:\json.txt', TRUE);
for item in json['follows.nodes'].AsArray do
begin
node := item.AsObject;
Memo1.Lines.Add(node.S['username']);
end;
end;
I am trying to generate JSON, data source is a DB FireBird.
I have a schema to generate path like this:
schema:= TDictionary<string, string>.Create;
schema.Add('DBTableName1', 'nest1.valueKeyName1');
schema.Add('DBTableName2', 'nest1.valueKeyName2');
schema.Add('DBTableName3', 'nest2.valueKeyName1');
schema.Add('DBTableName4', 'nest3.valueKeyName1');
schema.Add('DBTableName5', 'nest3.valueKeyName2');
schema.Add('DBTableName6', 'nest4.valueKeyName1');
How to create function for generate path to make nested objects?
{
"nest1": {
valueKeyName1: DBTableValue1,
valueKeyName2: DBTableValue2,
},
"nest2": {
valueKeyName1: DBTableValue3
},
"nest5":{
"nest6": {
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2",
},
"nest7": {}
}
In JavaScript I can do something like:
if (object.hasOwnProperty['key'] == false) object['key'] = {};
object = object['key'];
But in Delphi I have problem, and do not know, how to go deeper:
function TKlient.wprowadzWartoscDoJSON(wartosc: string; JSON: TJSONObject; sciezka: TStringList): TJSONObject;
var
i: integer;
obiekt: TJSONObject;
para: TJSONPair;
zagniezdzen: integer;
begin
zagniezdzen := sciezka.Count - 2;
obiekt := JSON;
para:= obiekt.Get(sciezka[i]);
for i := 1 to zagniezdzen do
begin
if obiekt.Get(sciezka[i]) = nil then obiekt.AddPair(sciezka[i], TJSONObject.Create)
else obiekt := obiekt.Get(sciezka[i]);
end;
obiekt.AddPair(sciezka[sciezka.Count - 1], wartosc);
result := obiekt;
end;
Here I've used a TDictionary<string, TJSONObject> to keep track of the object paths.
var
schema: TDictionary<string, string>;
pathSchema: TDictionary<string{path to every object}, TJSONObject>;
pair: TPair<string, string>;
values: TStringDynArray;
jsonObj,
jsonChildObj,
jsonParentObj: TJSONObject;
path: string;
i: Integer;
begin
schema := TDictionary<string, string>.Create;
try
schema.Add('DBTableName1', 'nest1.valueKeyName1');
schema.Add('DBTableName2', 'nest1.valueKeyName2');
schema.Add('DBTableName3', 'nest2.valueKeyName1');
schema.Add('DBTableName4', 'nest3.valueKeyName1');
schema.Add('DBTableName5', 'nest3.valueKeyName2');
schema.Add('DBTableName6', 'nest4.valueKeyName1');
schema.Add('value1', 'nest5.nest6.key1');
schema.Add('value2', 'nest5.nest6.key2');
pathSchema := TDictionary<string, TJSONObject>.Create;
try
jsonObj := TJSONObject.Create;
try
for pair in schema do begin
values := SplitString(pair.Value, '.');
path := '';
jsonParentObj := jsonObj;
for i := Low(values) to High(values)-1 do begin
if i > 0 then
path := path + '.';
path := path + values[i];
if pathSchema.ContainsKey(path) then
jsonChildObj := pathSchema[path]
else begin
jsonChildObj := TJSONObject.Create;
jsonParentObj.AddPair(TJSONPair.Create(values[i], jsonChildObj));
pathSchema.Add(path, jsonChildObj);
end;
jsonParentObj := jsonChildObj;
end;
jsonChildObj.AddPair(TJSONPair.Create(values[High(values)], pair.Key));
end;
WriteLn(jsonObj.ToString);
finally
jsonObj.Free;
end;
finally
pathSchema.Free;
end;
finally
schema.Free;
end;
ReadLn;
end.
The above prints the following:
{
"nest4":{
"valueKeyName1":"DBTableName6"
},
"nest2":{
"valueKeyName1":"DBTableName3"
},
"nest5":{
"nest6":{
"key1":"value1",
"key2":"value2"
}
},
"nest1":{
"valueKeyName1":"DBTableName1",
"valueKeyName2":"DBTableName2"
},
"nest3":{
"valueKeyName1":"DBTableName4",
"valueKeyName2":"DBTableName5"
}
}
