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. Chilkat2 Perl

use Chilkat2;

# 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:

my $json = Chilkat2::JsonObject->new;
$json->LoadFile('qa_data/json/rsi.json');

print 'RSI: ', $json->StringOf('"Technical Analysis: RSI"."2017-07-28 09:30".RSI'), "\n";

# output is 38.6964
