Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

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

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    CkHttpResponse resp = new CkHttpResponse();
    success = http.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",resp);
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(http.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

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

    //  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);
    System.out.println(json.emit());

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