(Node.js) Load a JSON Array

The Chilkat JSON API requires the top-level JSON to be an object. Therefore, to load an array requires that it first be wrapped as an object.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOSX, and ARM

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
    if (os.arch() == 'ia32') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node21-win-ia32');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node21-win64'); 
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node21-arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'x86') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node21-linux32');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node21-linux64');
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node21-mac-m1');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node21-macosx');
    }
}

function chilkatExample() {

    var success;

    // Imagine we want to load this JSON array for parsing:
    var jsonArrayStr = "[{\"id\":200},{\"id\":196}]";

    // First wrap it in a JSON object by prepending "{ "array":" and appending "}"
    var sbJson = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    sbJson.Append("{\"array\":");
    sbJson.Append(jsonArrayStr);
    sbJson.Append("}");

    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    json.Load(sbJson.GetAsString());

    // Now we can get the JSON array
    // jArray: JsonArray
    var jArray = json.ArrayAt(0);

    // Do what you want with the JSON array...
    // For example:
    // jObjId: JsonObject
    var jObjId = jArray.ObjectAt(0);
    console.log(jObjId.IntOf("id"));
