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

llSuccess = .F.

loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")

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

// A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
loJson = createobject("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.
loResp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

loResp.GetBodyJson(loJson)

loJson.EmitCompact = .F.
? loJson.Emit()

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

release loResp
