Load JSON Array from HTTP Response Body

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

<?php

$success = 0;

$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

$resp = new COM("Chilkat.HttpResponse");
$success = $http->HttpStr('GET','https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sampleArray.json','','','',$resp);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// A JSON array is JSON that begins with "[" and ends with "]"
$jarr = new COM("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);

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

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