Chilkat Python Downloads install with pip pip3 install chilkat or download... Python Module for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

resp = chilkat.CkHttpResponse()
success = http.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",resp)
if (success == False):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
json = chilkat.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())

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