(Node.js) Load JSON Array from HTTP Response Body

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

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm64');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-x64');
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-mac-universal');
}

function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

    var http = new chilkat.Http();

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

    // A JSON array is JSON that begins with "[" and ends with "]"
    var jarr = new chilkat.JsonArray();

    // 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.
    resp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody";

    resp.GetBodyJarr(jarr);

    console.log(jarr.Emit());

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