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. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    // 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:

    const json = try chilkat.JsonObject.init();
    defer json.deinit();
    json.loadFile("qa_data/json/rsi.json") catch {};

    std.debug.print("RSI: {s}\n", .{try json.stringOf(alloc, "\"Technical Analysis: RSI\".\"2017-07-28 09:30\".RSI")});

    // output is 38.6964
}
