Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

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

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    let resp = CkoHttpResponse()!
    success = http.httpStr(verb: "GET", url: "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json", bodyStr: "", charset: "", contentType: "", response: resp)
    if success == false {
        print("\(http.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
    let json = CkoJsonObject()!

    // 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.uncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

    resp.getBodyJson(json: json)

    json.emitCompact = false
    print("\(json.emit()!)")

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