(Mono C#) Send JSON REST Request, Get JSON Response

Demonstrates sending a RESTful JSON request, and receiving a JSON response. This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage (which involves sending and receiving JSON).

// This example will create a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.
bool success;

// It requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.AuthGoogle gAuth = new Chilkat.AuthGoogle();
// Obtain an access token as shown in one of the following examples:
// See Get Access Token using a Service Account JSON Key
// See Get Access Token using a P12 File

Chilkat.Rest rest = new Chilkat.Rest();

// Connect using TLS.
bool bAutoReconnect = true;
success = rest.Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,true,bAutoReconnect);

// Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
success = rest.SetAuthGoogle(gAuth);

// Build the JSON request body for creating a bucket.
// The only required property is the "name", but we'll add more
// to make a better example..
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonReqBody = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
success = jsonReqBody.AddStringAt(-1,"name","chilkat-bucket-c");
success = jsonReqBody.AddStringAt(-1,"kind","storage#bucket");

success = jsonReqBody.AddObjectAt(-1,"versioning");

Chilkat.JsonObject pObjVersioning = jsonReqBody.ObjectOf("versioning");
success = pObjVersioning.AddBoolAt(-1,"enabled",true);

// Show the HTTP request body we'll be sending.
Debug.WriteLine(jsonReqBody.Emit());

// Add the required query parameter.
// See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/buckets/insert
success = rest.AddQueryParam("project","chilkattest-1050");

// Add the Content-Type HTTP request header.
success = rest.AddHeader("Content-Type","application/json; charset=UTF-8");

string jsonResponseStr = rest.FullRequestString("POST","/storage/v1/b",jsonReqBody.Emit());

    Debug.WriteLine(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Show the JSON response.  (See below for a sample JSON response.)
