Hi, i wanted do load the swissmap JSON file from GADM into Scilab 2023.1. Level 0 works with 34kb. But Level 1 with unzipped 134kb crashes Scilab on windows 11. Could anyone confirm this, before making a Bug.

Hi Pascal
I can make these commands run fine, if I change to single-quotes (changing path to my user space):
→ [res, status] = http\_get(‘[https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/gadm/gadm4.1/json/gadm41\_CHE\_0.json.zip’,'D:\Userdata\Claus\Documents\Scilab\gadm41\_CHE\_1.json.zip](https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/gadm/gadm4.1/json/gadm41_CHE_0.json.zip','D:%5CUserdata%5CClaus%5CDocuments%5CScilab%5Cgadm41_CHE_1.json.zip)’);
→ [output,bOK]=dos(‘cd D:\Userdata\Claus\Documents\Scilab && tar -xf gadm41\_CHE\_1.json.zip’);
result = fromJSON(‘D:\Userdata\Claus\Documents\Scilab\gadm41\_CHE\_0.json’, ‘file’);
Note how CHE\_1 changes name to CHE\_0 (not sure why, looks confusing, but that’s what is inside the ZIP file).

Cannot upload ZIP or JSON data? Have to do it this way
[gadm41\_CHE\_1.json.zip.sod](https://scilab.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/8XUYzIkunP6EEP2KRLMxuyV8coX.sod) (40.0 KB)
but just remove sod, unzip the file and you have the JSON File from GADM
Thanks 🙂

Tried with Scilab 2024.0 following code:
```plaintext
countries=["CHE"];
depth=["0","1","2","3"];
URL=["https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/gadm/gadm4.1/json/gadm41"];
path=fullfile(TMPDIR,"Messungen");
ending=[".csv",".svg",".json",".zip"];
[CHF_0, status]=http_get(URL(1)+"_"+countries(1)+"_"+depth(1)+ending(3), format="JSON");
[res, status]=http_get(URL(1)+"_"+countries(1)+"_"+depth(2)+ending(3)+ending(4),path(1)+"GADM");
files=decompress(res,path(1));
CHF_1=fromJSON(files, "file");
```
works, but fromJSON crashes?

Hello,
You are right, there is a crash (tested on Scilab 2024.0.0 macOS version). Can you take the time to create a Gitlab account and create an issue at [Issues · scilab / scilab · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/scilab/scilab/-/issues)? Please include your code above as modified (I have changed the path of the file so that anybody can copy/paste it).

Thank You, now CADM works perfectly in Scilab.
I made my plots with extracting the Datas out of the structs.
Now i have another question in the struct there is this structure at the end:
coordinates: --1 (sub --1 ,–2) --2, --3 and --4.
So how do i parse this elegantly in one for loop, to obtain all values in a row, i tried many ways, (try-catch 7 index i,j) etc, but none of them was satisfying. Any Ideas or suggestions?

Hello, when Scilab displays
```auto
--> CHF_0.features.geometry.coordinates
ans = (4-elements list)
(1): (2-elements list)
(1): [1806x2 double]
(2): [33x2 double]
(2): [5x2 double]
(3): [5x2 double]
(4): [5x2 double]
```
you don’t need to parse anything, I mean, for example you get the last [5x2 double] with
```auto
CHF_0.features.geometry.coordinates(4)
```
and the [1806x2 double] at the begining with
```auto
CHF_0.features.geometry.coordinates(1)(1)
```

I could not directly make a picture, but here it is.
maybe this helps.
Parentally Julia does this. Actually, I found Julia and Scilab quite similar on the surface.

thats the point, i wanna parse anythig with one loop. 😁

Structs are structs… there is no way to automatically serialize this type of object.

Ok, if it’s so, it’s so. Thanks 🙂

For very special cases, you can serialize structs, typically when the fields are on the same level, of array type, and can be concatenated along a given dimension, e.g.:
```scilab
clear a
a.x=1:3
a.y=sin(1:3)
cat(1,a(fieldnames(a)))
```
which yields
```scilab
--> a.x=1:3
a = [struct] with fields:
x = [1,2,3]
--> a.y=sin(1:3)
a = [struct] with fields:
x = [1,2,3]
y = [0.841471,0.9092974,0.14112]
--> cat(1,a(fieldnames(a)))
ans = [2x3 double]
1. 2. 3.
0.841471 0.9092974 0.14112
```
see the respective help pages [fieldnames - Get a tlist, mlist or struct fields names](https://help.scilab.org/fieldnames), [cat - Stacks vectors matrices or arrays into an hypermatrix or hyperarray](https://help.scilab.org/cat)

Na, not really what i want.
I’ve tried something else like if error “Invalid index” then continue else take the datas, but it does not work. i somehow need to handle this “Invalid index”.

PS: With CURL will there be also a toolbox for MQTT an WS?
