JSON Hex Encoding

See more JSON Examples

Let's say your JSON contains content that is hex encoded like this: \u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7

This example shows how to get the decoded string.

Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim s As String
s = "{ ""example"": ""\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7"" }"

Dim json As New ChilkatJsonObject

success = json.Load(s)

' When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
Debug.Print "member data: " & json.StringOf("example")

' Output:
' member data: בדיק

' When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
Debug.Print "full JSON: " & json.Emit()

' Output:
' full JSON: {"example":"\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7"}

' To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
Dim sb As New ChilkatStringBuilder
success = json.EmitSb(sb)
' The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
success = sb.Decode("json","utf-8")

Debug.Print sb.GetAsString()

' Output:
' {"example":"בדיק"}
