(AutoIt) 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.

Local $s = "{ ""example"": ""\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7"" }"

$oJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")

Local $bSuccess = $oJson.Load($s)

; When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
ConsoleWrite("member data: " & $oJson.StringOf("example") & @CRLF)

; Output:
; member data: בדיק

; When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
ConsoleWrite("full JSON: " & $oJson.Emit() & @CRLF)

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

; To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
$oSb = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
$oJson.EmitSb($oSb)
; The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
$oSb.Decode("json","utf-8")

ConsoleWrite($oSb.GetAsString() & @CRLF)

; Output:
; {"example":"בדיק"}
