Get JSON Details from the Last REST Operation

Demonstrates Rest.GetLastJsonData, which copies operation-specific diagnostic or result information from the most recently completed method into a JsonObject. Many methods produce no JSON, in which case the object is empty.

Tip: Code to parse the returned JSON can be generated with Chilkat's online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/jsonParse.

Background. Some Chilkat operations expose additional structured information as JSON. GetLastJsonData provides access to that information after an operation completes.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

var rest = new CkRest();
var bTls = true;
var bAutoReconnect = true;
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Copy operation-specific diagnostic or result information from the most recent method (here the
//  Connect call) into a JsonObject.  Many methods produce no JSON, in which case the object is empty.
var json = new CkJsonObject();
rest.GetLastJsonData(json);

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