Load JSON Array from HTTP Response Body

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

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

$resp = chilkat::CkHttpResponse->new();
$success = $http->HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sampleArray.json","","","",$resp);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# A JSON array is JSON that begins with "[" and ends with "]"
$jarr = chilkat::CkJsonArray->new();

# 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->put_UncommonOptions("TakeResponseBody");

$resp->GetBodyJarr($jarr);

print $jarr->emit() . "\r\n";

# Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
print "----" . "\r\n";
print $resp->bodyStr() . "\r\n";
