(C++) Load a JSON Array

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.

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success;

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

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

    CkJsonObject json;
    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);
    std::cout << jObjId->IntOf("id") << "\r\n";
    delete jObjId;

    delete jArray;
    }
