Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into a JsonArray. Chilkat2 Perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

my $http = Chilkat2::Http->new;

my $resp = Chilkat2::HttpResponse->new;
my $success = $http->HttpStr('GET', 'https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sampleArray.json', '', '', '', $resp);
if (!$success) {
    print $http->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

# A JSON array is JSON that begins with "[" and ends with "]"
my $jarr = Chilkat2::JsonArray->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->UncommonOptions('TakeResponseBody');

$resp->GetBodyJarr($jarr);

print $jarr->Emit(), "\n";

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