(Go) 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.

Chilkat Go Downloads Go Package for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

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

    json := chilkat.NewJsonObject()

    success := json.Load(s)

    // When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
    fmt.Println("member data: ", *json.StringOf("example"))

    // Output:
    // member data: בדיק

    // When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
    fmt.Println("full JSON: ", *json.Emit())

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

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

    fmt.Println(*sb.GetAsString())

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

    json.DisposeJsonObject()
    sb.DisposeStringBuilder()
