Iterate over json root keys

[ejemba]

Hi,
I don't see the way to iterate over keys at root level,
in this example there is one key at root level it is "object"

jsonParsed, err := gabs.ParseJSON([]byte(`{"object":{"first":1,"second":2,"third":3}}`))
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

// S is shorthand for Search
for key, child := range jsonParsed.S("object").ChildrenMap() {
	fmt.Printf("key: %v, value: %v\n", key, child.Data().(float64))
}

How can we iterate those keys ? I tried jsonParsed.S("") it does not work

Thank you

Hi @ejemba, thanks for reporting this issue! I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to achieve, though. If you're simply looking to traverse the root level keys, this code works:

jsonParsed, err := gabs.ParseJSON([]byte(`{"object":{"first":1,"second":2,"third":3}}`))
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}

for key, child := range jsonParsed.ChildrenMap() {
	fmt.Printf("key: %v, value: %v\n", key, child.Data())
}

It will print key: object, value: map[first:1 second:2 third:3].
