Help with JSON_OBJECTs - Getting the key by searching the value.

[Gayngel]

I have a json string that consists of key/value pairs, each pair a JSON_OBJECT. The values are JSON_OBJECTs that contain key/value pairs themselves. So JSON_OBJECTs nested in a JSON_OBJECT. 

e.g: {main_key, {nested_key,nested_value,nested_key,nested_value,nested_key,nested_value},{main_key,{nested_key,nested_value,nested_key,nested_value}},{main_key,{nested_key,nested_value,nested_key,nested_value}}}

Is there a way to get the main_key in the JSON_OBJECT by searching the nested_value? Like can I llListFindList(blah blah blah) - 1 or something similar?

If I remember correctly, JSON data is stored as a string, so you could try something like using llSubStringIndex to find what you want and then tracking back to the brace that precedes it and the parent key that precedes that.

There's also llJson2List, so could use that to recurse through the JSON data, and test the resulting lists for your target.

Surely you would just use llJsonGetValue(jsonString,[key]);

Use the list to determine the path you want to take. So if we have :

{ “main_key”: { "nested_key1”: "nested_value1", "nested_key2": "nested_value2" } }

llJsonGetValue(jsonString,[“main_key”,”nested_key2”]);

Note : I have probably fluffed it up as writing it on my phone but code to that effect 😅
