Emit JSON Array to StringBuilder

See more JSON Examples

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

require 'chilkat'

success = false

a = Chilkat::CkJsonArray.new()
success = a.Load("[ 1,2,3,4 ]")

# We could get the JSON array as a string...
s = a.emit()
print s + "\n";

# 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
sb = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
a.EmitSb(sb)

# 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..
success = sb.WriteFile("c:/temp/qa_output/a.json","utf-8",false)
