Detailed Description

\inmodule QtCore

\reentrant

Since
5.0

The QJsonDocument class provides a way to read and write JSON documents.

\compares equality

QJsonDocument is a class that wraps a complete JSON document and can read this document from, and write it to, a UTF-8 encoded text-based representation.

A JSON document can be converted from its text-based representation to a QJsonDocument using QJsonDocument::fromJson(). toJson() converts it back to text. The parser is very fast and efficient and converts the JSON to the binary representation used by Qt.

Validity of the parsed document can be queried with !isNull()

A document can be queried as to whether it contains an array or an object using isArray() and isObject(). The array or object contained in the document can be retrieved using array() or object() and then read or manipulated.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ JsonFormat

Since
5.1

This value defines the format of the JSON byte array produced when converting to a QJsonDocument using toJson().

\value Indented Defines human readable output as follows:

{
"Array": [
true,
999,
"string"
],
"Key": "Value",
"null": null
}

\value Compact Defines a compact output as follows:

{"Array":[true,999,"string"],"Key":"Value","null":null}

◆ ~QJsonDocument()

QJsonDocument::~QJsonDocument ( )
default

Deletes the document.

Binary data set with fromRawData is not freed.

◆ QJsonDocument() [4/5]

Member Function Documentation

◆ array()

QJsonArray QJsonDocument::array ( ) const

Returns the QJsonArray contained in the document.

Returns an empty array if the document contains an object.

See also
isArray(), object(), setArray()

Definition at line 341 of file qjsondocument.cpp.

◆ fromJson()

QJsonDocument QJsonDocument::fromJson ( const QByteArray & json,
QJsonParseError * error = nullptr )
static

Parses json as a UTF-8 encoded JSON document, and creates a QJsonDocument from it.

Returns a valid (non-null) QJsonDocument if the parsing succeeds. If it fails, the returned document will be null, and the optional error variable will contain further details about the error.

See also
toJson(), QJsonParseError, isNull()

Definition at line 267 of file qjsondocument.cpp.

◆ fromVariant()

QJsonDocument QJsonDocument::fromVariant ( const QVariant & variant)
static

Creates a QJsonDocument from the QVariant variant.

If the variant contains any other type than a QVariantMap, QVariantHash, QVariantList or QStringList, the returned document is invalid.

See also
toVariant()

Definition at line 176 of file qjsondocument.cpp.

◆ isArray()

bool QJsonDocument::isArray ( ) const

Returns true if the document contains an array.

See also
array(), isObject()

Definition at line 295 of file qjsondocument.cpp.

◆ isEmpty()

bool QJsonDocument::isEmpty ( ) const

Returns true if the document doesn't contain any data.

Definition at line 282 of file qjsondocument.cpp.

◆ isNull()

bool QJsonDocument::isNull ( ) const

returns true if this document is null.

Null documents are documents created through the default constructor.

Documents created from UTF-8 encoded text or the binary format are validated during parsing. If validation fails, the returned document will also be null.

Definition at line 464 of file qjsondocument.cpp.

◆ isObject()

bool QJsonDocument::isObject ( ) const

Returns true if the document contains an object.

See also
object(), isArray()

Definition at line 308 of file qjsondocument.cpp.

◆ object()

QJsonObject QJsonDocument::object ( ) const

Returns the QJsonObject contained in the document.

Returns an empty object if the document contains an array.

See also
isObject(), array(), setObject()

Definition at line 324 of file qjsondocument.cpp.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

QJsonDocument & QJsonDocument::operator= ( const QJsonDocument & other)

◆ operator[]() [3/4]

const QJsonValue QJsonDocument::operator[] ( qsizetype i) const
