(Ruby) 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 Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

success = false

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

resp = Chilkat::CkHttpResponse.new()
success = http.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",resp)
if (success == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()

# 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";
