How can i parse this json to get the strings and store them in variables?

Question

How can i parse this json response after storing it as a char to get the strings and store them in variables? using any c library. Cjson probably because that's the one i am using to build the request..

{  

   "responseExitCode":"200",
   "message":"Account Created",
   "accountnumber":"58aa9f170c073",
   "accounttype":"Yea",
   "accountname":"Danstan Onyango"

}

I think this is not a duplicate of the linked question. OP wants to know how to use cJSON while the linked question is asking for recommendation of a library. — Shiplu Mokaddim, Feb 20 '17 at 12:46

If you have that data in a char * you can parse them. Just read the docs. Its there.

char *my_json_string = "{ "responseExitCode" ...";

cJSON * root = cJSON_Parse(my_json_string);

char *message = cJSON_GetObjectItem(root, "message")->valuestring;
