Failure of JSON parsing in Arduino and ESP8266

0 votes

I need to read JSON data from here and then I have to parse it. I have to extract an Ajax response from this REST API but I'm kinda stuck here. Kindly help me out.

So, I've given my code below. Do have a look at it and tell me how can i read a JSON response for the url. Also, How can I parse it in a string?

enter code here
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>

const char* ssid = "ssid";
const char* password = "password";

const char* host = "tutor4study.com";
const int httpsPort = 80;
 WiFiClient client;
 WiFiClient readClient;
 String sensorValue1 = "5555";
 String sensorValue2 = "9999";
 String readUrl = "";
 char readLine;
 String readResponse ="";
 String readJsonResponse ="";



void setup() {
               Serial.begin(115200);
               Serial.println();
               Serial.print("connecting to ");
               Serial.println(ssid);
               WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
               while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
                                                        delay(500);
                                                        Serial.print(".");
                                                      }
               Serial.println("");
               Serial.println("WiFi connected");
               Serial.println("IP address: ");
               Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
               Serial.print("connecting to ");

                pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
                pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
               // yield();

            }

StaticJsonBuffer<200> jsonBuffer;



void readConnect(){
                   if(!readClient.connect(host,httpsPort)){
                                                            Serial.println("connection failed for readCLient");
                                                            ESP.reset();
                                                            return;
                    }
                   readUrl = "/forms/ajaxDeviceValue";
                    Serial.print("requesting URL: ");
                    Serial.println(readUrl);
                    readClient.print(String("GET ")+readUrl+" HTTP/1.1\r\n"+
                    "Host: "+host+"\r\n"+
                    "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
                    while(readClient.connected()){
                                                  readLine = readClient.read();
                                                  Serial.print(readLine);
                                                  readResponse += readLine;                 
                      }

                      JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.parseObject(readResponse);

    if (!root.success()) {
    Serial.println("parseObject() failed");
    return;
    }

  }

void loop() {
              readConnect();

            }

Thanks!

I'm assuming it's because of the garbage value, that ArduinoJson library was not able to parse it. 

After a lot of failed efforts, I finally  tried using the HttpClient to read the response.It returned the clear Json which ArduinoJson is able to parse and now the code is working just fine.
