Demonstrates how to send a JSON POST and get the JSON response. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    // This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code

    const http = try chilkat.Http.init();
    defer http.deinit();

    const json_text = "{\"user\":\"doctoravatar@penzance.com\",\"forecast\":7,\"t\":\"vlIj\",\"zip\":94089}";

    // IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
    // and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
    // in this example will not actually work.

    const resp = try chilkat.HttpResponse.init();
    defer resp.deinit();
    http.httpStr("POST", "https://json.penzance.org/request", json_text, "utf-8", "application/json", resp) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try http.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // Display the JSON response.
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try resp.getBodyStr(alloc)});
