I found a solution :-)

 Generate a string array in C head file to record the raw json string;
 Convert each json string to QObject, and convert the QObject to QDict
 for traversal by recursion;

 Define a new type and uion [1] to describe dynamical date for QMP.
 and allocate & connect nested members in recursion function.

 Finally, we can provide dynamical data with metadate according the
 definition in json file.

I will send a v1 patch later.


---- [1] ----
{ 'union': 'DataValue', 'data': { 'string': 'str', 'obj': 'DataObj' } }
{ 'type': 'DataObj', 'data': { '*key': 'str', 'value': 'DataValue' } }
{ 'type': 'SchemaData',
  'data': { 'type': 'str', 'name': 'str', '*data': ['DataObj'], '*returns': ['DataObj'] } }
