asked on convert multiple variable values into json format in c programming
// New temperature readings - 0 ~ 100C
temp_value = analogRead(ANALOG_PIN_0);
temp_value = (temp_value/4096) * 100;
// New temperature readings - 0 ~ 300 PSI

press_value = (press_value/4096) * 300;
void GET_METER() { // Update read all data

for (char i = 0; i < Total_of_Reg ; i++){
DATA_METER [i] = Read_Meter_float(ID_meter, Reg_addr[i]);// ID_METER_ALL=X
}
}
//New EnergyData
Data_meter[0] = 241.25 //voltage
Data_meter[1] = 3.53 //Ampere
Data_meter[2] = 49.1 //kw
Data_meter[3] = 0.98 //pf
Data_meter[4] = 49.99 //freq
Data_meter[5] = 120.58 //kw
temp_value = 55.3 //Celsius
press_value = 300.1 //pressure in psi
I am looking forward to send data in jason format. Referring to my code: -
data_send = "{
"temp_value" : 55.3,
"press_value": 300.1,
"Voltage" : 241.25,
"Ampere": 3.53,
"KW": 49.1,
"pf": 0.98,
"freq": 49.99,
"kw":120.58
}"
How to convert data_send into string format.

I would use a json parser. There are many listed at json.org

Before i do try send the entire code, I did try with 2 parameters as follows: -
error: invalid operands of types 'const char [15]' and 'float' to binary 'operator&'
data_send = "{\"temp_value\":"&temp_va
data_send = "{\"temp_value\":"&temp_value&",\"press_value\":"&press_value&"}";
error: invalid operands of types 'const char [15]' and 'float' to binary 'operator&'
data_send = "{\"temp_value\":"&temp_va
Hi,
In C language, you need the strcat function to concatenate strings.
Be warned that the resulting string must have a sufficient size.
Also, the sprintf function will allow you to cast float to strings.
Side note:
Since the data in your array do not have the same meaning, it is better to put them in a structure.

if using c++ compiler you could do
what is pretty much the same as in your snippet.
to get the floats formatted - say to 3 decimals - you would add
#include <sstream>
#include <iomanip>
....
std::ostringstream data_send;
data_send << "{\"temp_value\":" << std::fixed << std::setprecision(3) << temp_value
<< ",\"press_value\":" << std::fixed << std::setprecision(3) << press_value <<"}";[/code]
if using a c compiler you can't overload the stream operator but use functions instead.
note, you also could use sprintf to build the send buffer. but sprintf is not safe as the compiler neither can check whether the size of the buffer is big enough nor whether the arguments are matching the format specifiers.

@sara: you have snprintf...
