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

Rust

// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63 or later.
let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();

let _ = json.load_file("qa_data/json/qb_accounts.json").is_ok();

// 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

let array_path = "QueryResponse.Account".to_string();
let relative_path = "Name".to_string();
let value = "Advertising".to_string();
let case_sensitive = true;
let ret_rel_path = "Id".to_string();

let Ok(id) = json.find_record_string(&array_path, &relative_path, &value, case_sensitive, &ret_rel_path) else {
    println!("Record not found.");
    return;
};

// The Id should be 7.
println!("The Id of the Advertising account is {}", id);
