Demonstrates getting the completion value of a JavaScript that returns a string. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

# This example demonstrates getting the completion value of a script,

# The Javascript run in this example is shown below.

# Load the JavaScript from a file.
sbScript = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
success = sbScript.LoadFile("js_eval_return_string.js","utf-8")
if (success == False):
    print(sbScript.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

js = chilkat.CkJs()
result = chilkat.CkJsonObject()

# Run the JavaScript
# Eval returns the completion value of the script. This is generally the value of the last evaluated expression.
# In this case, the last evaluated expression is a string.
success = js.Eval(sbScript,result)
if (success == False):
    print(js.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

result.put_EmitCompact(False)
print(result.emit())

# Output:

# {
#   "type": "string",
#   "value": "Ready for Chilkat.Js"
