Thanks to advice from here (Looping through JSON using ASPJSON) and here (ASP JSON: Object not a collection), I am starting with a JSON array in Classic ASP:
{"markers": [{
"event":"hard_bounce",
"msg":{
"ts":1365109999,
"subject":"This an example webhook message",
"email":"example.webhook@mandrillapp.com",
"sender":"example.sender@mandrillapp.com",
"tags":[
"webhook-example"
],
"state":"bounced",
"metadata":{
"user_id":111
},
"_id":"exampleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
"_version":"exampleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
"bounce_description":"bad_mailbox",
"bgtools_code":10,
"diag":"smtp;550 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or unnecessary spaces."
},
"_id":"exampleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
"ts":1433940242
},
{
"event":"hard_bounce",
"msg":{
"ts":1365109999,
"subject":"This an example webhook message",
"email":"example.webhook@mandrillapp.com",
"sender":"example.sender@mandrillapp.com",
"tags":[
"webhook-example"
],
"state":"bounced",
"metadata":{
"user_id":111
},
"_id":"exampleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1",
"_version":"exampleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
"bounce_description":"bad_mailbox",
"bgtools_code":10,
"diag":"smtp;550 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or unnecessary spaces."
},
"_id":"exampleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1",
"ts":1433940242
}]
}
I am using Classic ASP and ASPJSON (http://www.aspjson.com/).
I can access the "_id" and "ts" values from the loop via:
Set oJSON = New aspJSON
'read the local JSON data
oJSON.loadJSON(str2)
For Each thingy In oJSON.data("markers")
Set this = oJSON.data("markers").item(thingy)
Response.Write _
this.item("_id") & ": " & _
this.item("ts") & "<br>"
Next
However, I am stuck trying to get at the data one level down, in the "msg" section.
I did try:
For Each thingy In oJSON.data("markers")
Set this = oJSON.data("markers").item(thingy)
Response.Write _
this.item("_id") & ": " & _
this.item("ts") & "<br>"
For Each thingy2 In oJSON.data("msg")
Set this2 = oJSON.data("this2").item(thingy2)
Response.Write _
this2.item("subject") & ": " & _
this2.item("diag") & "<br>"
Next
Next
But get this error:
Description: Object not a collection : .
Relating to this line:
For Each thingy2 In oJSON.data("msg")
I guess I am doing something silly, but I am stuck on this one and can't work out how to access that data.
