The API I’m using only returns all calls in an XML format. I would like to convert it into a JSON format.

Please show an example if possible. Thank you!

Hi,

 

I do not know if this can be directly done in QML or Felgo, but you can define a C++ class or a JavaScript function to do so. Here you can find a JavaScript function, https://gist.github.com/chinchang/8106a82c56ad007e27b1

 

I have not tested It, so let us know if it works for you.

Hi,

Felgo does not provide a quick way of converting XML to JSON. If possible, it’s easiest if your API already return JSON objects from the start.

If you are going to use the returned XML data for display in your views, you can have also have a look at the XmlListModel type. You can use it to fill your UI based on XML data instead of a JSON-structure when working with model-delegate based UI components. (e.g. AppListView, Repeater, …)

Best,
Günther

Yes I finally got XML data to come back. Which component will work best to return the data model the way I want to. Like for an example I want just the last data from the model… Would I be able to view some code snippets… Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

you can find code snippets for XmlListModel + ListView in the documentation page of the model: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-xmllistmodel-xmllistmodel.html

It is possible to work with the model in a similar way for all UI components that support the model-delegate system, e.g. our AppListView or a plain Repeater.
For more information on how models work, please consider having a look at the documentation of Models and Views in Qt Quick.

Best,
Günther
