Hi Guys

I am parsing a json data.I am using Roku OS 7.0

my code :
if (code = 200)
json = ParseJSON(msg.GetString())

But it throws ParseJson:Unknown Identifier Error. How can I solve this guys. I need urgent response.

Without sharing the json string you're trying to parse, it's impossible to help. Based on the message, it sounds like the json is invalid.

You could try a tool like this to validate your json, and identify the issue: http://jsonlint.com/

[subhalaxmi]

Json is valid.I have tested it.

[TheEndless]

Can you share the URL you're pulling the JSON from, so we can investigate? Again, we can't really help without knowing what "msg.GetString()" returns.

Maybe you don't have quote characters around an object key:

' GOOD ...
jsonString = "{" + Chr (34) + "a" + Chr (34) + ": 42}"
json = parseJson (jsonString)
Print json

' BAD ...
jsonString = "{a: 42}"
json = parseJson (jsonString)
Print json

a: 42

BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: ParseJSON: Unknown identifier 'a: 42}': pkg:/source/Main.brs(18)
invalid

Or it could be some other problem with your Json. But like TheEndless says, without seeing the Json string there's not much help we can offer.

Sorry I cannot share the json url.But I can assure you that json is valid in rest client.And I am using the follwoing code to parse.

if (request.AsyncGetToString())
while (true)
msg = wait(0, port)
if (type(msg) = "roUrlEvent")
code = msg.GetResponseCode()
if (code = 200)
print msg.GetString()
json = ParseJSON(msg.GetString())
return json.itemCount.ToInt()
endif
else if (event = invalid)
request.AsyncCancel()
endif
end while
endif


when I am printing msg.GetString() it is printing all data which is in valid json format.But in next line json = ParseJSON(msg.GetString()) it is breaking after parsing some codes.

I am bugging since 4 hours.I ccannot be able to find out issue.Can you please help me.

I honestly can't without knowing what you're trying to parse. Can you share it via PM?

This is my json response.

{
"status": 200,
"msg": "OK",
"list": [{
"0": "0",
"id": "1021",
"ispresent": 0
}, {
"0": "1",
"id": "1022",
"ispresent": 0
}, {
"0": "2",
"id": "1023",
"ispresent": 0
}, {
"0": "3",
"id": "1024",
"ispresent": 0
}, {
"0": "4",
"id": "1025",
"ispresent": 0
}, {
"0": "5",
"id": "1026",
"ispresent": 0
}, {
"0": "6",
"id": "1027",
"ispresent": 0
}, {
"0": "7",
"id": "1028",
"ispresent": 0
}, {

}, {
"0": "9",
"id": "1030",
"ispresent": 0
}],
"orderby": "",
"count": "10",
"limit": 10
}

Guys help me

It parses correctly on my Roku 2XS running 7.0 build 9037.

All I can think of is that there may be extraneous unprintable characters (e.g. cr/lf) in your Json response.

Also, what is the character encoding of your response?

[subhalaxmi]

Can you please post your parsing code you use to get response.


Function get_playlist() as object
request = CreateObject("roUrlTransfer")
port = CreateObject("roMessagePort")
request.SetMessagePort(port)
request.SetUrl("http://www.khanacademy.org/api/v1/playlists")
if (request.AsyncGetToString())
while (true)
msg = wait(0, port)
if (type(msg) = "roUrlEvent")
code = msg.GetResponseCode()
if (code = 200)
playlist = CreateObject("roArray", 10, true)
json = ParseJSON(msg.GetString())
for each kind in json
topic = {
ID: kind.id
Title: kind.standalone_title
}
playlist.push(topic)
end for
return playlist
endif
else if (event = invalid)
request.AsyncCancel()
endif
end while
endif
return invalid
End Function


I am using this kind of code which needs no encoding.
