(PowerShell) Load JSON Object from HTTP Response Body

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

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or greater because it uses the GetBodyJson 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 JSON object by calling LoadSb.

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-9.5.0-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

$resp = $http.PText("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",$false,$false)
if ($http.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
$json = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject

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

$resp.GetBodyJson($json)

$json.EmitCompact = $false
$($json.Emit())

# Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
$("----")
$($resp.BodyStr)
