Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

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

var success = false;

var http = new CkHttp();

var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",resp);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
var 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.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody";

resp.GetBodyJson(json);

json.EmitCompact = false;
console.log(json.Emit());

// Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
console.log("----");
console.log(resp.BodyStr);
