Load JSON Array from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into a JsonArray. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

set http = CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

set resp = CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpResponse")
success = http.HttpStr("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sampleArray.json","","","",resp)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' A JSON array is JSON that begins with "[" and ends with "]"
set jarr = CreateObject("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"

success = resp.GetBodyJarr(jarr)

outFile.WriteLine(jarr.Emit())

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

outFile.Close
