(Chilkat2-Python) Iterate JSON where Member Names are Data Values

Demonstrates how to parse JSON where member names are not keywords, but instead are data values.

import chilkat2

json = chilkat2.JsonObject()

success = json.LoadFile("qa_data/json/valuesAsNames.json")

# Imagine we have JSON such as the following:

# {
#   "1680": {
#     "entity_id": "1680",
#     "type_id": "simple",
#     "sku": "123"
#   },
#   "1701": {
#     "entity_id": "1701",
#     "type_id": "simple",
#     "sku": "456"
#   }
# }
# 

# This presents a parsing problem because the member names, such as "1680"
# are not keywords.  Instead they are data values.  We don't know what they
# may be in advance.  

# To solve, we iterate over the members, get the name of each, ...
numMembers = json.Size

for i in range(0,numMembers):

    name = json.NameAt(i)

    print(name + ":")
    # jRecord is a CkJsonObject
    jRecord = json.ObjectAt(i)

    print("entity_id: " + jRecord.StringOf("entity_id"))
    print("type_id: " + jRecord.StringOf("type_id"))
    print("sku: " + jRecord.StringOf("sku"))
