JSON Hex Encoding

See more JSON Examples

Let's say your JSON contains content that is hex encoded like this: \u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7

This example shows how to get the decoded string.

React Native

import { JsonObject, StringBuilder } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  const s = '{ "example": "\\u05d1\\u05d3\\u05d9\\u05e7" }';

  const json = new JsonObject();

  json.load(s);

  // When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
  console.log(`member data: ${json.stringOf('example')}`);

  // Output:
  // member data: בדיק

  // When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
  console.log(`full JSON: ${json.emit()}`);

  // Output:
  // full JSON: {"example":"\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7"}

  // To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
  const sb = new StringBuilder();
  json.emitSb(sb);
  // The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
  sb.decode('json', 'utf-8');

  console.log(sb.getAsString());

  // Output:
  // {"example":"בדיק"}
}
