(Ruby) 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.

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# resp is a CkHttpResponse
resp = http.PText("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sample.json","","","",false,false)
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# A JSON object is JSON that begins with "{" and ends with "}"
json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()

# 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.put_UncommonOptions("TakeResponseBody")

resp.GetBodyJson(json)

json.put_EmitCompact(false)
print json.emit() + "\n";

# Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
print "----" + "\n";
print resp.bodyStr() + "\n";
