JSONConfiguration

[fbraem]

Richard,

The problem is that only setRaw and getRaw are ment to be overloaded. Because the value is passed as std:::string to setRaw, JSONConfiguration thinks the value is a JSON string. So setting values in a JSONConfiguration is a problem.

I'm less worried about the setBool and setInt (at least at the proof-of-concept level) - the array and nested objects are harder to workaround.

Franky,

Is the problem with setting values a short term problem implementation issue - or likely to remain for a while (months+) ?

I'm trying to work out if I need to look for another solution to create JSON files...

I'm working on a solution that will create values when they don't exist. Hope to finish this work next week ...

If you only need to create a JSON file, you can always use the stringify method and use a file outputstream ...

Perfect.

If you only need to create a JSON file, you can always use the stringify method and use a file outputstream ...

While I need to be able to create JSON files - within days of adding that I'll need to be able to parse them to make the UI interactive (first thing my boss will ask for) ... The rest of my code base is architected around the XMLConfiguration classes, so its a very natural pattern for me to just slip JSON in.

I have some other things I need to be working on anyway for the next several weeks (JSON support + javascript UI is a skunk project), so I'm happy waiting for the correct solution.


Thank you.

A new version of JSONConfiguration is uploaded on the MQWeb repository (0.0.6 branch).
Note that it is not possible to store a null value in the configuration with the set methods.

Looks good.

Thanks.

Hello,

I checked out the sources from the mqweb project link and cannot compile it. The JSONTemplate.cpp file includes and attempts to use Poco/Util/JSONTemplateCache.h, which however is not in the repository. I just commented out the code that attempted to use the template cache and it compiles now, but just thought I would let you know.

Thanks

The JSON code from the MQWeb project is donated to Poco and will be part of Poco 1.5
The next release of MQWeb will switch to the JSON module of Poco.
