Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http

Dim resp As New Chilkat.HttpResponse
success = http.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sampleArray.json","","","",resp)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' A JSON array is JSON that begins with "[" and ends with "]"
Dim jarr As New Chilkat.JsonArray

' If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the JSON from the HttpResponse to the JsonArray, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
' This could save memory for extremely large JSON responses.
resp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

resp.GetBodyJarr(jarr)

Debug.WriteLine(jarr.Emit())

' Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
Debug.WriteLine("----")
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr)
