Request for JSON decode to dictionary

[WatermelonIce (Bryan)]

Kodular has removed Json component?

The block that is missing will be added. In the meantime you can use [image]

I want to use this block (from AI2) in Kodular. Although the method of Peter (the above link) worked sometimes, but when it faced array, it is completely wrong.

Check this topic for more information:

JSON text decode problem

I have been using this method to convert json text to dictionary. However, when it faced objects in array, the dictionary is completely wrong. [image] It seems that the list of pairs is correct but the dictionary isn’t. My sample code: { "names": [ { "name": "Peter", "age": 30 }, { "name": "John", "age": 27 }, { "name": "Luke", "age": 34 } ] } Thanks in advance.

Hi @WatermelonIce…Until kodular adds this block to the web component, I created this extension that parses json to dictionary like the block in app inventor…
Please test if it works …
(of course this extension is only for those who wants to use the json text decode with dictionaries block while it doesn’t exist in kodular…And not a new something so i posted here and not in a new thread) :
That’s an example:

With app inventor:

Download link :
You can refer to the topic below.
I tested it with you json code here provided by @WatermelonIce

{
	"names": [
		{
			"name": "Peter",
			"age": 30
		},
		{
			"name": "John",
			"age": 27
		},
		{
			"name": "Luke",
			"age": 34
		}
	]
}

Hope it helps you…
EDIT:Reduced the aix size from 99.7 kb to 6.4 kb
That happened by removing unused third party library…
Edit: rewritten the extension and released it in a new topic:

It worked perfectly, and you can publish this extension. Just out of curiosity, will you provide the code too?

how can read text from direct .json file from, not from json text ?please help !

[Mohamed_Tamer]

You must retrieve text from this json file ( i don’t where it is ) and then use the parseJsonWithDictionaries to parse it

[WatermelonIce (Bryan)]

You can use the File component to read .json yext and use the extension

[sonumohammad333 (Sonu Mohammad)]

Use Json Decode block from Web component.
It will convert text to lists.
Use list to dictionary block from dictionary blocks.
