HTTP.Submit, JSON, Table

[tbs(apc)]

I'm using the HTTP.Submit to call a webservice that returns its data in a JSON data format.

Can anyone recommend a lua script or utility for Setup Factory that'll convert the JSON data format into a lua table?

Thanks.

Thanks.

However I'm struggling to get something to work. I opted for this module as it's pure lua.

I added the file to my project via Resources -> Script Files and then added some test code to the On Startup action. No matter what I do with code below I get errors when the installer runs as follows:

On Startup, Line 16: module 'dkjson' not found:
no field package.preload['dkjson']
etc etc

This is my sample code I'm trying to test.

local mytext = [[
{
  "iType": 99,
  "iSerial_No": 1600,
  "sName": "Test Company",
  "sKey": "xxxx",
  "iUsers": 4,
  "sMessage": "ok"
}
]];


Dialog.Message("MyText", mytext );

local json = require("dkjson");

local mytable, pos, err = json.decode(mytext, 1, nil);
if err then
    Dialog.Message("Error", err);
else
    for k, v in pairs(mytable) do
        Dialog.Message("Table Item", k .. "=" .. v);
    end -- for
end


Application.Exit();

Could you please help me with this?

Add the Lua module as a Primer File instead, so it will be placed next to the installer runtime (irsetup.exe). This will allow the module to be loaded correctly with require().

Thank you for your suggestion Ulrich. My sample code now works. :yes
