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

Memo1.Lines.Add(jarr.Emit());

// Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
