Get JSON Details from the Last REST Operation

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.GetLastJsonData, which copies operation-specific diagnostic or result information from the most recently completed method into a JsonObject. Many methods produce no JSON, in which case the object is empty.

Tip: Code to parse the returned JSON can be generated with Chilkat's online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/jsonParse.

-- Important: See this note about string length limitations for strings returned by sp_OAMethod calls.
