Recently, while the whole world looks completely hyped up with Web applications,
we chose to design and develop a desktop software in Qt/C++.

Obviously, the choice was measured and justified ! We had to build a specific GIS application
with complex interactions and huge amounts of data, for a limited number of users.

Webservices are everywhere ! There are relevant in many situations, and
accessing them from your Qt C++ application is not an heresy.

I will present here a very simple way to retrieve a JSON from a GET request.

Il y a de nombreux billets de blogs, posts sur des forums, tutoriaux, pages Wiki et autres, mais au final, à part le fameux "You're doing it wrong", qui peut paraître obscure au premier abord, je n'ai pas trouvé de résumé de l'attrape-nigaud que je vais illustrer ici.

I did not find any ready-to-use snippets on the Web on this matter, so if

The objective is to read GIS geometries from a PostGIS database and manipulate them in C++.

I decided to write a generic program that can watch a folder or some files and run a command when changes occur.

Most of the work is done by PyQt4's QFileSystemWatcher.
