Load JSON Array from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into a JsonArray. Lianja

llSuccess = .F.

loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")

loResp = createobject("CkHttpResponse")
llSuccess = loHttp.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sampleArray.json","","","",loResp)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loHttp
    release loResp
    return
endif

// A JSON array is JSON that begins with "[" and ends with "]"
loJarr = createobject("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.
loResp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

loResp.GetBodyJarr(loJarr)

? loJarr.Emit()

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


release loHttp
release loResp
release loJarr
