(CkPython) JSON: Nested Objects

Here we have a JSON object that contains nested JSON objects. This example demonstrates how to access the contents of the nested objects.

{
  "name": "donut",
  "image":
    {
    "fname": "donut.jpg",
    "w": 200,
    "h": 200
    },
  "thumbnail":
    {
    "fname": "donutThumb.jpg",
    "w": 32,
    "h": 32
    }
}

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

# This is the above JSON with whitespace chars removed (SPACE, TAB, CR, and LF chars).
# The presence of whitespace chars for pretty-printing makes no difference to the Load
# method. 
jsonStr = "{\"name\": \"donut\",\"image\":{\"fname\": \"donut.jpg\",\"w\": 200,\"h\": 200},\"thumbnail\":{\"fname\": \"donutThumb.jpg\",\"w\": 32,\"h\": 32}}"

# Get the "image" object.
imageObj = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
json.ObjectOf2("image",imageObj)

print("image: fname=" + imageObj.stringOf("fname") + ", width=" + str(imageObj.IntOf("w")) + ", height="\
     + str(imageObj.IntOf("h")))

# Get the "thumbnail" object.
thumbObj = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
json.ObjectOf2("thumbnail",thumbObj)

print("thumbnail: fname=" + thumbObj.stringOf("fname") + ", width=" + str(thumbObj.IntOf("w")) + ", height="\
     + str(thumbObj.IntOf("h")))
