Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

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

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$http = new CkHttp();

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

// A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
$json = new CkJsonObject();

// 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->put_UncommonOptions('TakeResponseBody');

$resp->GetBodyJson($json);

$json->put_EmitCompact(false);
print $json->emit() . "\n";

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