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.

Note
This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.
JavaScript
var success = false;

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

var json = new CkJsonObject();

success = json.Load(s);

// When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
console.log("member data: " + json.StringOf("example"));

// Output:
// member data: בדיק

// When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
console.log("full JSON: " + json.Emit());

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

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

console.log(sb.GetAsString());

// Output:
// {"example":"בדיק"}
