Trouble parsing json file.

[Thundercleez]

I'm trying to use jsoncpp to parse this json

{

	"Blah": {

		"name": "foo",

		"address": 0,

		"Element": [{

				"name": " foo1",

				"offset": 0,

				"Field": [{

						"name": "a",

						"offset": 16

					},

					{

						"name": "b",

						"offset": 32

					}

				]

			},

			{

				"name": "foo2",

				"offset": 0,

				"Field": [{

						"name": "a",

						"offset": 16

					},

					{

						"name": "b",

						"offset": 32

					}

				]

			}

		]

	}

}

My code is like (ignore any typos, this is typed, not copied). I run into a couple problems. 1st is that I never make it to parseFeild. 2nd issue is that while parse seems to work as expected, I see "Parse: Blah" logged, and parseBlah seems to work as expected, "I see ParseBlah: Element" logged, parseElement logs 0 and 1, when I'm expecting it to log Field. Because of that, it never finds the Field string, so it doesn't call parseField. What's missing here? Shouldn't the Element iterator contain a Field key?

Json::CharReaderBuilder builder;
Json::CharReader * jsonReader = builder.newCharReader();
JsonV::Value root;
std::string errors;

parse()
{
  if(jsonReader->parse(text.c_str(), text.c_str() + text.size(), &root, &errors))
  {
    std::string keyVal("Blah");
    for(Json::Value::const_iterator outer = root.begin(); outer != root.end(); outer++)
    {
      //get string rep of outer without "s
      std::stringstream valStream;
      valStream << outer.key();
      std::string val(valStream.str());
      val.erase(std::remove(val.begin(), val.end(), '"'), val.end());
      std::cout << "Parse: " << val << std::endl;
      if(keyVal.compare(val) == 0)
      {
         parseBlah(outer);
      }
    }
  }
}

parseBlah(Json::Value::const_iterator &itr)
{
  std::string keyVal("Element");
  for(Json::Value::const_iterator inner = (*itr).begin(); inner != (*itr).end(); inner++)
  {
    //get string rep of inner without "s
    std::stringstream valStream;
    valStream << inner.key();
    std::string val(valStream.str());
    val.erase(std::remove(val.begin(), val.end(), '"'), val.end());
    std::cout << "ParseBlah: " << val << std::endl;
    if(keyVal.compare(val) == 0)
    {
       parseElement(outer);
    }
  }
}

parseElement(Json::Value::const_iterator &itr)
{
  std::string keyVal("Field");
  for(Json::Value::const_iterator inner = (*itr).begin(); inner != (*itr).end(); inner++)
  {
    //get string rep of inner without "s
    std::stringstream valStream;
    valStream << inner.key();
    std::string val(valStream.str());
    val.erase(std::remove(val.begin(), val.end(), '"'), val.end());
    std::cout << "ParseElement: " << val << std::endl;
    if(keyVal.compare(val) == 0)
    {
       parseField(outer);
    }
  }
}

parseField(Json::Value::const_iterator &itr)
{
  for(Json::Value::const_iterator inner = (*itr).begin(); inner != (*itr).end(); inner++)
  {
    std::cout << "Field:" << *inner << std::endl;
  }
}

Not sure, but I recommend parsing into a Json::Value node (like root in your example) and then printing that (cout << root) and see if it's what you expect.
