Read JSON with dot notation in key

I'm new, I mean really NEW to JSON so I can't figure it out how can I get the values from keys under a dot notated "key"?

JSON file format:

Code:

{

        "text1": "result1",

        "XXX.XXX": {

                        "text2": "result2"

        }

}

So I can retrieve text1 data (result1) with this:

Code:

json_object_get_string(object, "text1", data, charsmax(data)

But this won't work because dot notation in the key:

Code:

json_object_get_string(object, "XXX.XXX.text2", data, charsmax(data)

Can someone write a plugin that reads all of those and stores it to an array?

Re: Read JSON with dot notation in key

If the key has dots then you can't use the dot notation, it even says so in the doc. First retrieve the "XXX.XXX" object using json_object_get_value, then retrieve the property from that object.

Oh hell, got it thanks.
Just had a look at return of get_value :D
