JSON Paths that need Double Quotes

See more JSON Examples

This example explains and demonstrates the situations where parts within a JSON path need to be enclosed in double-quotes. Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    //  Imagine we have the following JSON:

    //  	{ 
    //  	  "Meta Data": { 
    //  	    "1: Symbol": "MSFT",
    //  	    "2: Indicator": "Relative Strength Index (RSI)",
    //  	    "3: Last Refreshed": "2017-07-28 09:30:00",
    //  	    "4: Interval": "15min",
    //  	    "5: Time Period": 10,
    //  	    "6: Series Type": "close",
    //  	    "7: Time Zone": "US/Eastern Time"
    //  	  },
    //  	  "Technical Analysis: RSI": { 
    //  	    "2017-07-28 09:30": { 
    //  	      "RSI": "38.6964"
    //  	    },
    //  	    "2017-07-27 16:00": { 
    //  	      "RSI": "50.0088"
    //  	    } 
    //  	} 

    //  The path to the RSI valud 38.6964 is Technical Analysis: RSI.2017-07-28 09:30.RSI

    //  Whenever a path part contains a SPACE or "." char, that part must be enclosed
    //  in double quotes.  For example:

    CkJsonObject json = new CkJsonObject();
    json.LoadFile("qa_data/json/rsi.json");

    System.out.println("RSI: " + json.stringOf("\"Technical Analysis: RSI\".\"2017-07-28 09:30\".RSI"));

    //  output is 38.6964
  }
