    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    var resp = new chilkat.HttpResponse();

    //  A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();

    //  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.
    resp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody";

    resp.GetBodyJson(json);

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

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