c++ JsonCpp parse string with escaped quotes as array
I've got the following json string:
{
"data" :
[
{
"cart" : "[{"name":"Test item 1","price":15,"quantity":1,"sum":15,"tax":"none","payment_type":"advance","item_type":"service"},{"name":"Test item 2","price":13.01,"quantity":2,"sum":26.02,"tax":"none","payment_type":"part_prepay","item_type":"work"}]",
"contact" : "noname@google.com",
"p_id" : "603",
"sum" : "100.02",
"tax_system" : "osn"
}
],
"msg" : null,
"result" : "success"
}
I can parse cart as std::string after parsing input json string as stringstream:
const std::string ParseJsonData(std::stringstream ssJsonStream)
{
Json::Value jsonData;
Json::Value responseData;
Json::Value responseDataCart;
Json::CharReaderBuilder jsonReader;
std::string errs;
if (Json::parseFromStream(jsonReader, ssJsonStream, &jsonData, &errs)) {
responseData = jsonData["data"];
responseDataCart = responseData[0]["cart"];
return responseDataCart.toStyledString().c_str();
}
else
return "Could not parse HTTP data as JSON";
}
Please, tell me, how can i parse cart as array with JsonCpp?

Your return statement is wasteful.toStyledString()already gives you astd::string, which only needs directly returning (which will move it); you're obtaining a C-string out of it then constructing a new string from that. It's not the end of the world, but it does require astrleninvocation and prohibits moving the data.

The same way you parsed the outer JSON!
You started with a string (well, hidden by a stream) and turned it into JSON.
Now that JSON contains a property that is a string and, itself, contains JSON. The problem is recursive. The fact that the inner string originally came from JSON too can be ignored. Just pretend it's a string you typed in.
So, you can use JSON::Reader to in turn get the JSON out of that string.
Something like:
const std::string responseDataCartStr = responseData[0]["cart"].asString();
Json::Reader reader;
if (!reader.parse(responseDataCartStr, responseDataCart))
throw std::runtime_error("Parsing nested JSON failed");
JsonCpp provides a few ways to parse JSON and it's worth exploring them to find the most appropriate for your use case. The above is just an example.
Ignore the backslashes — the escaping was meaningful within the encapsulating JSON document, but the outermost parse stage should already have taken that into consideration. You'll see if you print responseDataCartStr to console that it is a valid JSON document in its own right.

@MichaelK. Don't forget todeleteit! I like to usestd::unique_ptrfor the task. I had a memory leak in production where I was doingauto reader = Json::CharReaderBuilder().newCharReader();and forgot that it returns a naked pointer :( Needless to say that area of code now has a massive comment warning slapped all over it
