Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into a JSON object. C++

#include <CkHttp.h>
#include <CkHttpResponse.h>
#include <CkJsonObject.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkHttp http;

    CkHttpResponse resp;
    success = http.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",resp);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << http.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
    CkJsonObject json;

    //  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.put_UncommonOptions("TakeResponseBody");

    resp.GetBodyJson(json);

    json.put_EmitCompact(false);
    std::cout << json.emit() << "\r\n";

    //  Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
    std::cout << "----" << "\r\n";
    std::cout << resp.bodyStr() << "\r\n";
    }
