(Chilkat2-Python) Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into a JSON object.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or greater because it uses the GetBodyJson method. Prior to v9.5.0.89, and application would need to first copy the HTTP response body to a Chilkat StringBuilder object by calling GetBodySb, and then load the JSON object by calling LoadSb.

import sys
import chilkat2

http = chilkat2.Http()

# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.PText("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",False,False)
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(http.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
json = chilkat2.JsonObject()

# If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the JSON from the HttpResponse to the JsonObject, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
# This could save memory for extremely large JSON responses.
resp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

resp.GetBodyJson(json)

json.EmitCompact = False
print(json.Emit())

# Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
print("----")
print(resp.BodyStr)
