(Mono C#) Load JSON Array from HTTP Response Body

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

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or greater because it uses the GetBodyJarr 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 JsonArray by calling JsonArray.LoadSb.

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

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

// A JSON array is JSON that begins with "[" and ends with "]"
Chilkat.JsonArray jarr = new Chilkat.JsonArray();

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

resp.GetBodyJarr(jarr);

Debug.WriteLine(jarr.Emit());

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