Using SimpleJSON

Unity Engine

Hi guys, I’m completely stuck here. Hope I’m posting at the correct section.

How do I use SimpleJson to get the username and score of the first player in the following JSON:

[{"Player":{"username":"test","email":null,"first_name":"","last_name":"","platform":null},"Score":
{"score":"10","difficulty":0,"platform":null,"leaderboard":null,"created":"2014-04-22 08:26:57","data":null}}
,{"Player":{"username":"test","email":null,"first_name":"","last_name":"","platform":null},"Score":
{"score":"0","difficulty":0,"platform":null,"leaderboard":null,"created":"2014-04-22 08:29:44","data":null}}]

As a matter of fact, if you wish to suggest a different JSON reader, feel free to do so as long as you can show me the code that can pull this data.

Thanks in advance,

Arseney

var N = JSON.Parse(the_JSON_string);
string username = N[0][“Player”][“username”];
int score = N[0][“Score”][“score”];

Code is untested.

Try formatting your string out better to see the entry points:

{
	"Player":{
				"username":"test",
				"email":null,
				"first_name":"",
				"last_name":"",
				"platform":null
			 },
	"Score":{
				"score":"10",
				"difficulty":0,
				"platform":null,
				"leaderboard":null,
				"created":"2014-04-22 08:26:57",
				"data":null
			}
},
{
	"Player":{
				"username":"test",
				"email":null,
				"first_name":"",
				"last_name":"",
				"platform":null
			 },
	"Score":{
				"score":"0",
				"difficulty":0,
				"platform":null,
				"leaderboard":null,
				"created":"2014-04-22 08:29:44",
				"data":null
			}
}

It looks to me that your json is an array of objects with Player and Score information.

So you’d get something like:

N = JSON.Parse(theJsonText);
var firstPlayer = N[0];
var username = firstPlayer["Player"]["username"].Value;
var score = firsePlayer["Score"]["score"].Value;

I haven’t used SimpleJSON, but that looks about right based on this article:

lordofduct is correct. This should be the right workflow.

Thanks guys.

Apparently I’m just not used enough to JSONs. This was really easy and I’m a bit ashamed I failed at it.

Thanks again.
