Load a JSON Array

See more JSON Examples

The Chilkat JSON API requires the top-level JSON to be an object. Therefore, to load an array requires that it first be wrapped as an object. Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    // Imagine we want to load this JSON array for parsing:
    String jsonArrayStr = "[{\"id\":200},{\"id\":196}]";

    // First wrap it in a JSON object by prepending "{ "array":" and appending "}"
    CkStringBuilder sbJson = new CkStringBuilder();
    sbJson.Append("{\"array\":");
    sbJson.Append(jsonArrayStr);
    sbJson.Append("}");

    CkJsonObject json = new CkJsonObject();
    json.Load(sbJson.getAsString());

    // Now we can get the JSON array
    CkJsonArray jArray = json.ArrayAt(0);

    // Do what you want with the JSON array...
    // For example:
    CkJsonObject jObjId = jArray.ObjectAt(0);
    System.out.println(jObjId.IntOf("id"));
  }
