Load a JSON Array

See more JSON Examples

The Chilkat JSON API requires the top-level JSON to be an object. Therefore, to load an array requires that it first be wrapped as an object. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

' Imagine we want to load this JSON array for parsing:
Dim jsonArrayStr As String = "[{""id"":200},{""id"":196}]"

' First wrap it in a JSON object by prepending "{ "array":" and appending "}"
Dim sbJson As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
sbJson.Append("{""array"":")
sbJson.Append(jsonArrayStr)
sbJson.Append("}")

Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
json.Load(sbJson.GetAsString())

' Now we can get the JSON array
Dim jArray As Chilkat.JsonArray = json.ArrayAt(0)

' Do what you want with the JSON array...
' For example:
Dim jObjId As Chilkat.JsonObject = jArray.ObjectAt(0)
Debug.WriteLine(jObjId.IntOf("id"))
