JSON Hex Encoding

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.

' When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "member data: " & json.StringOf("example")) & "</pre>"

' Output:
' member data: בדיק

' When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "full JSON: " & json.Emit()) & "</pre>"

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

' To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
set sb = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = json.EmitSb(sb)
' The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
success = sb.Decode("json","utf-8")

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( sb.GetAsString()) & "</pre>"

' Output:
' {"example":"בדיק"}
