JsonServer.ino
Description
This example shows how to implement an HTTP server that sends a JSON document in the response.
It uses the Ethernet library, but you can easily adapt it for WiFi.
It sends the value of the analog and digital pins. The JSON document looks like the following:
{
"analog": [0, 76, 123, 158, 192, 205],
"digital": [1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0]
}
Source code
#include <ArduinoJson.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <SPI.h>
byte mac[] = {0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED};
EthernetServer server(80);
void setup() {
// Initialize serial port
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) continue;
// Initialize Ethernet libary
if (!Ethernet.begin(mac)) {
Serial.println(F("Failed to initialize Ethernet library"));
return;
}
// Start to listen
server.begin();
Serial.println(F("Server is ready."));
Serial.print(F("Please connect to http://"));
Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}
void loop() {
// Wait for an incomming connection
EthernetClient client = server.available();
// Do we have a client?
if (!client) return;
Serial.println(F("New client"));
// Read the request (we ignore the content in this example)
while (client.available()) client.read();
// Allocate a temporary JsonDocument
// Use arduinojson.org/v6/assistant to compute the capacity.
StaticJsonDocument<500> doc;
// Create the "analog" array
JsonArray analogValues = doc.createNestedArray("analog");
for (int pin = 0; pin < 6; pin++) {
// Read the analog input
int value = analogRead(pin);
// Add the value at the end of the array
analogValues.add(value);
}
// Create the "digital" array
JsonArray digitalValues = doc.createNestedArray("digital");
for (int pin = 0; pin < 14; pin++) {
// Read the digital input
int value = digitalRead(pin);
// Add the value at the end of the array
digitalValues.add(value);
}
Serial.print(F("Sending: "));
serializeJson(doc, Serial);
Serial.println();
// Write response headers
client.println(F("HTTP/1.0 200 OK"));
client.println(F("Content-Type: application/json"));
client.println(F("Connection: close"));
client.print(F("Content-Length: "));
client.println(measureJsonPretty(doc));
client.println();
// Write JSON document
serializeJsonPretty(doc, client);
// Disconnect
client.stop();
