Display JSON contents as text?

[RealDwayneJ]

I’ve seen countless examples so far where the contents of a JSON file are displayed with println. But how would one run those contents through a simple text() in processing?

Because I’ve been trying to get the array below within a text so I could display it next to a planet, though so far it only gives me:

> A JSONObject text must begin with '{'

  {
    "id_code": "291XS931",
    "Gravity": "10.2g",
    "name": "XS-Alpha"
  },
  {
    "id_code": "99287OE2",
    "Gravity": "0.2g",
    "name": "Bicronla-99"
  }
]

Thanks for the links! Didn’t get it to work with the text() function unfortunately, but I’ll have another look at it later on.

Here is an example of displaying text to get you started:

Blurry Text Solution

I was using different text sizes in a recent project and was getting blurry fonts. I solve this issue by setting the largest text size in setup() and problem solved! Here is the code I used to test this: /* Project: Blurry Text Author: GLV Date: 2019-05-15 Version: 01 */ void settings() { size(1024, 768, P3D); } void setup() { textSize(128); // Set to largest text size used to prevent blurring of text } void draw() { background(0); text24(); t…
