How can I print the Jsonarray in json-Glib?

Question

I am using json-glib library. I have created one json array using that. I want to print that json array to see how it looks like. I mean that square brackets, commas and all, how they are included in json array. I have searched whole API but no function I have. I am using C++. Please help.

You need json_generator_new and json_generator_to_data.

void print_array (JsonArray *a)
{
    /* Setup root node and JSON generator */
    JsonNode *n = json_node_alloc();
    json_node_init_array(n, a);
    JsonGenerator *g = json_generator_new();
    json_generator_set_root(g, n);
    char *d = json_generator_to_data(g);

    /* Print JSON string */
    g_print("%s\n", d);

    /* Cleanup */
    g_free(d);
    g_unref(g);
    json_node_free(n);
}
