Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Please find attached MMX version 5.04.17 for the 100/144pin chip

2018-06-08_232342_MMX5.04.17.zip

and for the 64-pin chip

2018-06-08_232438_MMX645.04.17.zip

Updated manual

2018-06-08_234034_Micromite_eXtreme_Manual.pdf

This release includes the ability to parse JSON strings stored in a longstring. The attached program shows how I use this to read the weather from openweathermap.org using a ESP8266 with standard "AT" firmware. Substitute myAPIKEY, mySSID and myPASSWORD with your own values.

The release also includes a new sub command LONGSTRING PRINT [#n,] src%(). This prints the longstring stored in src%() to either a file, a serial port, or the console.

Have been using JSON parsing on openweathermap on weather and just trying it out on the 5 day forecast. MMX64 v5.0501
I am running this command for testing, 'Print JSON$(m%(),"list[0].main.temp")', I get 'Error: Not enough memory'. Afterwards, running 'files' at the command line shows the same. Need to do a 'cpu restart' to clear. Using m%(8000), did try higher values.

The forecast JSON data has 39 part-day entries (list[x]) which may be the issue. I manually removed all but one entry and it ran ok. If I remove the part-day data after entry 18, it works ok. Doing the same after day 20 and the issue returns.

What's the limit for this type of parse?

m%(8000) sounds like nearly 64K RAM (*) just for that - is that available as well as all the other space needed?

(*) I think they're 64-bit, not 32-bit when it would be 32K

  Quote  What's the limit for this type of parse?


It isn't possible to say. The parser allocates memory (malloc()) as it walks through the json string and the longer and more nested the string the more memory it will need. The array used should be the smallest possible that holds the string to leave as much other memory free as possible for the parser to allocate as it processes.

One specific technical issue in MMBasic is that the smallest amount of memory that can be "malloc"ed is 256 bytes. In general this works well but for this parser it is very wasteful - nothing I can do about this as it is deeply embedded in MMBasic.
