(C#) 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.

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();
bool success;

Chilkat.HttpResponse resp = http.PText("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",false,false);
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.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;
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());

// Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
Debug.WriteLine("----");
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr);
