JSON Hex Encoding

See more JSON Examples

Let's say your JSON contains content that is hex encoded like this: \u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7

This example shows how to get the decoded string.

CkPython

import chilkat

success = False

s = "{ \"example\": \"\\u05d1\\u05d3\\u05d9\\u05e7\" }"

json = chilkat.CkJsonObject()

success = json.Load(s)

# When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
print("member data: " + json.stringOf("example"))

# Output:
# member data: בדיק

# When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
print("full JSON: " + json.emit())

# Output:
# full JSON: {"example":"\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7"}

# To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
sb = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
json.EmitSb(sb)
# The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
sb.Decode("json","utf-8")

print(sb.getAsString())

# Output:
# {"example":"בדיק"}
