(PHP ActiveX) Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into a JSON object.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

$success = 0;

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

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

// A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
$json = new COM("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 = 0;
print $json->emit() . "\n";

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