Create Nested Structure with Arrays

Hi,

I need to query an API that needs a file in JSON format (format below). I am having trouble using jsonencode to get to this format. I have three arrays (Nx1), fieldnames (eg. ["Request1";"Request2";...]), Method (eg.["GET";"GET;"GET"...]), and Resource (eg. [Custom1URL; Custom2URL,...]). How can I create a structure so that the format is struct.WebId1.Method, struct.WebId2.Method? I know I can do this using struct() but I need to automate it since eventually there can be >1000 requests. Thank you!

{
    "Request1":
    {
        "Method":"GET",
        "Resource":"URL"
    },
    "Request2":
    {
        (same format)
    }
    etc...
}

Based on my understanding, you want to create a nested structure using the 3 arrays available to you.

I have created a small script to do the same. Please refer below:

req = ["Request1";"Request2"];
met = ["GET";"GET"];
res = ["URL1";"URL2"];

for i=1:length(req)
   myValue = struct("Method", met{i}, "Resource", res{i});
   myFieldname = req{i};
   myStruct.(myFieldname) = myValue;
end

Here, you have a nested structure named 'myStruct.'

Structure "Request1" can be accessed using "myStruct.Request1." Its values can be accessed using "myStruct.Request1.Method," etc.
