YAJL JSON PARSING

I am trying to parse below JSON using YAJL. YAJLGEN generated below data structure but the issue i am facing is the number of arrays ex: KEY, CUSTOMER are not fixed. These arrays are returned for each field in the response. I am trying to avoid defining an array for each field from the response.

Could you please, advise if there is a better way to read the below json and parse dyanic arrays. I tried using "yajl_array_loop", "yajl_array_elem" but i couldn't able to make it work in my program for some reason. Thank is in advance.

{ "errstatus": 400, "errors": { "Key": [ "The Key field is required." ], "Customer": [ "The Customer field is required." ] } }

dcl-ds jsonDoc qualified;
errstatus packed(3) inz(0);
dcl-ds ERRORS;
num_KEY int(10) inz(0);
KEY varchar(37) inz('') dim(1);
num_CUSTOMER int(10) inz(0);
CUSTOMER varchar(43) inz('') dim(2);
end-ds;
end-ds;

If yajl is not working then it is probably not a good choice for your case. If your JSON is not hundreds of megabyte big then you may try a DOM like approach like using noxDB (https://github.com/sitemule/noxDB). It reads the whole JSON into memory and you can evaluate the in-memory JSON the way you want. Seems like a much better approach for your situation.
