Emit JSON Array to StringBuilder

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to write a JSON array to a Chilkat StringBuilder object. Zig

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

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

    const a = try chilkat.JsonArray.init();
    defer a.deinit();
    try a.load("[ 1,2,3,4 ]");

    // We could get the JSON array as a string...
    const s = try a.emit(alloc);
    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{s});

    // But what if the JSON array contains a huge amount of data,
    // and we don't want to marshal it all from Chilkat's internal
    // native code to a string in our programming language?

    // You can instead emit to a Chilkat StringBuilder
    const sb = try chilkat.StringBuilder.init();
    defer sb.deinit();
    a.emitSb(sb) catch {};

    // Perhaps the StringBuilder object can be passed to other methods..
    // Chilkat typically provides methods where a potentially large string
    // can be passed in via a StringBuilder object..

    // Or perhaps you wish to save to a file..
    try sb.writeFile("c:/temp/qa_output/a.json", "utf-8", false);
