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.

C++

#include <CkJsonObject.h>
#include <CkStringBuilder.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    const char *s = "{ \"example\": \"\\u05d1\\u05d3\\u05d9\\u05e7\" }";

    CkJsonObject json;

    success = json.Load(s);

    // When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
    std::cout << "member data: " << json.stringOf("example") << "\r\n";

    // Output:
    // member data: בדיק

    // When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
    std::cout << "full JSON: " << json.emit() << "\r\n";

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

    // To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
    CkStringBuilder sb;
    json.EmitSb(sb);
    // The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
    sb.Decode("json","utf-8");

    std::cout << sb.getAsString() << "\r\n";

    // Output:
    // {"example":"בדיק"}
    }
