Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63 or later.

Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loJson
LOCAL lcArrayPath
LOCAL lcRelativePath
LOCAL lcValue
LOCAL lnCaseSensitive
LOCAL lcRetRelPath
LOCAL lcId

lnSuccess = 0

* Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63 or later.
loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')

lnSuccess = loJson.LoadFile("qa_data/json/qb_accounts.json")

* A sample of the content of qb_accounts.json is shown at the bottom of this example.
* The idea of FindRecordString is to search for a record matching one field,
* and then return the value of another field.

* For example, we want to find the "Id" for the record where Name = Advertising

lcArrayPath = "QueryResponse.Account"
lcRelativePath = "Name"
lcValue = "Advertising"
lnCaseSensitive = 1
lcRetRelPath = "Id"

lcId = loJson.FindRecordString(lcArrayPath,lcRelativePath,lcValue,lnCaseSensitive,lcRetRelPath)
IF (loJson.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? "Record not found."
    RELEASE loJson
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The Id should be 7.
? "The Id of the Advertising account is " + lcId
