JSON on MangOH from file

1

Hi,

I’m trying to read/parse a json document that i’ve download to the mangOH, does someone have an example of this for legato?

Also, which fd i’m supposed to use?

Thanks,

Pau

I have written a simple Legato app which parses a JSON string and prints out the content. You can see from the filenames below that the app is named “JsonReadWrite”. I didn’t bother implementing the writing part, but it should be fairly straightforward to figure out if you follow the jansson documentation.

JsonReadWrite/jsonReadWrite.adef

version: 0.1.0
sandboxed: true
start: manual

executables:
{
    jsonReadWrite = (jsonReadWrite)
}

processes:
{
    run:
    {
        (jsonReadWrite)
    }
}

JsonReadWrite/jsonReadWrite/Component.cdef

cflags:
{
    -I$LEGATO_BUILD/framework/libjansson/include
}

ldflags:
{
    -ljansson
}

requires:
{
    file:
    {
        /legato/systems/current/lib/libjansson.so /lib/
        /legato/systems/current/lib/libjansson.so.4 /lib/
        /legato/systems/current/lib/libjansson.so.4.6.0 /lib/
    }
}

sources:
{
    main.c
}

JsonReadWrite/jsonReadWrite/main.c

#include <jansson.h>
#include "legato.h"

const char jsonText[] =
    "{\"i2cDevices\":[{\"name\":\"eeprom\",\"bus\":0,\"address\":64},{\"name\":\"temperature sensor\",\"bus\":1,\"address\":20}]}";

COMPONENT_INIT
{
    json_error_t jsonError;
    json_t* root = json_loads(jsonText, 0, &jsonError);
    // NOTE: To read from a file instead, use:
    //       json_t* root = json_load_file("/path/to/file.json", 0, &jsonError);
    LE_FATAL_IF(!root, "JSON decoding error on line (%d): %s", jsonError.line, jsonError.text);

    LE_FATAL_IF(!json_is_object(root), "JSON is not an object");

    json_t* i2cDevices = json_object_get(root, "i2cDevices");
    LE_FATAL_IF(!i2cDevices, "Couldn't get i2cDevices object from JSON");
    LE_FATAL_IF(!json_is_array(i2cDevices), "i2cDevices is not an array");

    size_t index;
    json_t* value;
    json_array_foreach(i2cDevices, index, value)
    {
        LE_FATAL_IF(!json_is_object(value), "i2cDevices index %d is not an object", index);

        json_t* i2cName = json_object_get(value, "name");
        LE_FATAL_IF(
            !i2cName || !json_is_string(i2cName), "name either doesn't exist or is not a string");
        const char* name = json_string_value(i2cName);

        json_t* i2cBus = json_object_get(value, "bus");
        LE_FATAL_IF(
            !i2cBus || !json_is_integer(i2cBus), "bus either doesn't exist or is not an integer");
        const json_int_t bus = json_integer_value(i2cBus);

        json_t* i2cAddress = json_object_get(value, "address");
        LE_FATAL_IF(
            !i2cAddress || !json_is_integer(i2cAddress),
            "address either doesn't exist or is not an integer");
        const json_int_t address = json_integer_value(i2cAddress);

        LE_INFO("I2C device #%d: name=\"%s\", bus=%lld, address=%lld", index, name, bus, address);
    }

    // Reduce the reference count of the root object which should cause the memory to be freed
    json_decref(root);
}

Hello,

I am trying to use this sample for may application for some app configurations/settings.
Getting couple errors -
Failed to create link at '/lib/libjansson.so.4' in app 'jsonreader
when I comment the libjansson.so.4 in .adef, getting the other error.
Failed to create link at '/lib/libjansson.so.4' in app 'jsonreader

Searched in mangOH and Legato folders, but couldnt find these files.
Let me know where to get them or any other workaround?

Thanks
Madan

Commenting these did the trick. Seems there’s no dependency on these libraries, for now.
/legato/systems/current/lib/libjansson.so.4 /lib/ /legato/systems/current/lib/libjansson.so.4.6.0 /lib/

Thanks.
