Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into a JSON object. Chilkat2-Python

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

http = chilkat2.Http()

resp = chilkat2.HttpResponse()
success = http.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",resp)
if (success == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
json = chilkat2.JsonObject()

# If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the JSON from the HttpResponse to the JsonObject, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
# This could save memory for extremely large JSON responses.
resp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

resp.GetBodyJson(json)

json.EmitCompact = False
print(json.Emit())

# Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
print("----")
print(resp.BodyStr)
