JSON Hex Encoding

See more JSON Examples

Let's say your JSON contains content that is hex encoded like this: \u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7

This example shows how to get the decoded string.

B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim s As String = "{ " & Chr(34) & "example" & Chr(34) & ": " & Chr(34) & "\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7" & Chr(34) & " }"

Dim json As ChilkatJsonObject
json.Initialize

success = json.Load(s)

'  When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
Log("member data: " & json.StringOf("example"))

'  Output:
'  member data: בדיק

'  When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
Log("full JSON: " & json.Emit)

'  Output:
'  full JSON: {"example":"\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7"}

'  To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
Dim sb As ChilkatStringBuilder
sb.Initialize
json.EmitSb(sb)
'  The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
sb.Decode("json", "utf-8")

Log(sb.GetAsString)

'  Output:
'  {"example":"בדיק"}
