JSON Hex Encoding

See more JSON Examples

Let's say your JSON contains content that is hex encoded like this: \u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7

This example shows how to get the decoded string.

Lianja

llSuccess = .F.

s = '{ "example": "\\u05d1\\u05d3\\u05d9\\u05e7" }'

loJson = createobject("CkJsonObject")

llSuccess = loJson.Load(s)

// When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
? "member data: " + loJson.StringOf("example")

// Output:
// member data: בדיק

// When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
? "full JSON: " + loJson.Emit()

// Output:
// full JSON: {"example":"\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7"}

// To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
loSb = createobject("CkStringBuilder")
loJson.EmitSb(loSb)
// The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
loSb.Decode("json","utf-8")

? loSb.GetAsString()

// Output:
// {"example":"בדיק"}
