Check out JSON.org for an up-to-date list (see bottom of main page) of JSON parsers in many different languages. As of the time of this writing, you'll see a link to twoseveral different JSON parsers there, but only one is for VB6/VBA (the others are .NET):
- VB-JSON
When I tried to download the zip file, Windows said the data was corrupt. However, I was able to use 7-zip to pull the files out. It turns out that the main "folder" in the zip file isn't recognized as a folder by Windows, by 7-zip can see the contents of that main "folder," so you can open that up and then extract the files accordingly.
The actual syntax for this VB JSON library is really simple:
Dim p As Object Set p = JSON.parse(strFormattedJSON) 'Print the text of a nested property ' Debug.Print p.Item("AddressClassification").Item("Description") 'Print the text of a property within an array ' Debug.Print p.Item("Candidates")(4).Item("ZipCode")Note: I had to add the "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" and "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8" library as references via Tools > References in the VBA editor.
Note: VBJSON code is actually based on a google code project vba-json. However, VBJSON promises several bug fixes from the original version.
- PW.JSON
- This is actually a library for VB.NET, so I didn't spend much time looking into it.
