Re: [WebDNA] JSONStore Levels

Just two things to note: - Will the code work for nested arrays? - Will it allow for JSON that has colons - or any character - in the node names? My view would be that the closer the WebDNA behaviour matches the behaviour of Javscript the better. So looking at this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2577172/how-to-get-json-objects-value-i= f-its-name-contains-dots For the following JSON; var mydata =3D {"list": [ {"points.bean.pointsBase": [ {"time": 2000, "caption":"caption text", duration: 5000}, {"time": 6000, "caption":"caption text", duration: 3000} ] } ] } The time value in the first item of the array is extracted using: var smth =3D mydata.list[0]["points.bean.pointsBase"][0].time; I realise square brackets have special significance in WebDNA, but you get the idea. - Tom On Wed, 6 May 2020 at 08:24, wrote: > Hello everyone! > > > With Josh (who is behind all the C++ code these last years), we spent som= e > time thinking about this.

Chris,<= br clear=3D"all">

Hi - this would be great.=C2=A0 Just two thing= s to note:

  • Will the code work for nested a= rrays?
  • Will it allow for JSON that has colons - or any characte= r - in the node names?

My view would= be that the closer the WebDNA behaviour matches the behaviour of Javscript= the better.

So looking at this:
For the following JSON;

=
va= r mydata =3D =C2=A0=C2=A0
{"list"= ;: =C2=A0
=C2=A0 [ =C2=A0
=
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 {"points.bean.pointsBase": =C2=A0
<= /div>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 [ =C2=A0
<= /div>
=C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 {"time": 2000, "caption":"= ;caption text", duration: 5000}, =C2=A0
<= /div>
=C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 {"time": 6000, "caption":"= ;caption text", duration: 3000} =C2=A0
=C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ] =C2=A0
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 } =C2= =A0
=C2=A0 ] =C2=A0
}=

The=C2=A0time value in the fi= rst item of the array is extracted using:

<= blockquote style=3D"margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px">
var smth =3D mydata.list[0]["points.bean.po= intsBase"][0].time;

I rea= lise square brackets have special significance=C2=A0in WebDNA, but you=C2= =A0get the=C2=A0idea.

Hello everyone!


With Josh (who is behind all the C++ code these last years), we spent some = time thinking about this. He made a proof of concept C++ app that gives the= below output when we feed it the JSON from Mike's post to the mailing = list. Is this useful? If this is acceptable, we can adapt the code into the= WebDNA source tree and have it store in the DB/table in that format.

page=3D1
total_results=3D21
total_pages=3D1
results:1:popularity=3D1.936
results:1:vote_count=3D7
results:2:popularity=3D2.732
results:2:vote_count=3D23

results:3:vote_count=3D75
results:4:popularity=3D53.221
results:4:vote_count=3D5
results:5:popularity=3D7.001
results:5:vote_count=3D31
results:6:popularity=3D22.223
results:6:vote_count=3D88

Next version would have this fix built-in.

Just two things to note: - Will the code work for nested arrays? - Will it allow for JSON that has colons - or any character - in the node names? My view would be that the closer the WebDNA behaviour matches the behaviour of Javscript the better. So looking at this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2577172/how-to-get-json-objects-value-i= f-its-name-contains-dots For the following JSON; var mydata =3D {"list": [ {"points.bean.pointsBase": [ {"time": 2000, "caption":"caption text", duration: 5000}, {"time": 6000, "caption":"caption text", duration: 3000} ] } ] } The time value in the first item of the array is extracted using: var smth =3D mydata.list[0]["points.bean.pointsBase"][0].time; I realise square brackets have special significance in WebDNA, but you get the idea. - Tom On Wed, 6 May 2020 at 08:24, wrote: > Hello everyone! > > > With Josh (who is behind all the C++ code these last years), we spent som= e > time thinking about this.

Hi - this would be great.=C2=A0 Just two thing= s to note:

  • Will the code work for nested a= rrays?
  • Will it allow for JSON that has colons - or any characte= r - in the node names?

My view would= be that the closer the WebDNA behaviour matches the behaviour of Javscript= the better.

So looking at this:
For the following JSON;

=
va= r mydata =3D =C2=A0=C2=A0
{"list"= ;: =C2=A0
=C2=A0 [ =C2=A0
=
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 {"points.bean.pointsBase": =C2=A0
<= /div>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 [ =C2=A0
<= /div>
=C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 {"time": 2000, "caption":"= ;caption text", duration: 5000}, =C2=A0
<= /div>
=C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 {"time": 6000, "caption":"= ;caption text", duration: 3000} =C2=A0
=C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ] =C2=A0
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 } =C2= =A0
=C2=A0 ] =C2=A0
}=

The=C2=A0time value in the fi= rst item of the array is extracted using:

<= blockquote style=3D"margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px">
var smth =3D mydata.list[0]["points.bean.po= intsBase"][0].time;

I rea= lise square brackets have special significance=C2=A0in WebDNA, but you=C2= =A0get the=C2=A0idea.

With Josh (who is behind all the C++ code these last years), we spent some = time thinking about this.

If this is acceptable, we can adapt the code into the= WebDNA source tree and have it store in the DB/table in that format.

page=3D1
total_results=3D21
total_pages=3D1

results:5:vote_count=3D31
results:6:popularity=3D22.223

Next version would have this fix built-in.
