How do you upload a video to youtube using json-c format?

Question

I'm able to upload videos to youtube using their xml input/output format but their documentation on how to implement uploading with json-c is frustratingly sparse. For instance, what is the 'key' for the json data I'm sticking in the body? Or put a different way, how is the json string added to the body of the request?

Here are instructions for uploading a video using JSON-C:

The upload is done in two parts: 1) First you upload the metadata in JSON format. The response of this will contain an upload url. 2) Upload the actual video to the upload url.

However @Alexander is right, the Objective-C client may be a better route, since it handles all the upload details for you:
