Example of an qt app that accesses a JSON API over http?
-
Is there a nice example of an app (that I could fork) that accesses various data from a JSON based API over the web?
Something like a note writing client or a micro-blogging app?
I looked around a bit on the open-store and could find anything. Sadly the official Notes app uses the Evernote API which isn't JSON based, otherwise that would be perfect (and my skill level isn't anywhere near rewriting the API access part).

The Weather app is an example:

Thanks, that looks like a good start already. Is there maybe also an app that doesn't only read data, but also writes it?

@poVoq I know mine does.
I'm sending commands through JSON to a domoticz server
The IP address is customizable in settings.I can guide you through the code if you need help.

Cool, I'll have a look. Still in the early brainstorming/learning phase, but I might get back to you sometimes in the future.

Am I guessing right that this library would work well with the typical clickable setup:

@poVoq Yes this is the easiest way to do it.
If you search for the first release of my app this is what I used.But I had a limitation regarding self signed certificates.
So I decided to create a C++ library to send HTTPS requests.Thanks for sharing your findings ; could be helpful for other
