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.

Node.js

NODEJS_PRELUDE

function chilkatExample() {

    var success = false;

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

    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();

    success = json.Load(s);

    // When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
    console.log("member data: " + json.StringOf("example"));

    // Output:
    // member data: בדיק

    // When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
    console.log("full JSON: " + json.Emit());

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

    // To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
    var sb = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    json.EmitSb(sb);
    // The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
    sb.Decode("json","utf-8");

    console.log(sb.GetAsString());

    // Output:
    // {"example":"בדיק"}

}
