    CkJsonArray jarr = new CkJsonArray();

    // 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.
    resp.put_UncommonOptions("TakeResponseBody");

    resp.GetBodyJarr(jarr);

    System.out.println(jarr.emit());

    // Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
    System.out.println("----");
    System.out.println(resp.bodyStr());
