(Unicode C++) 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.

    {
    const wchar_t *s = L"{ \"example\": \"\\u05d1\\u05d3\\u05d9\\u05e7\" }";

    CkJsonObjectW json;

    bool success = json.Load(s);

    // When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
    wprintf(L"member data: %s\n",json.stringOf(L"example"));

    // Output:
    // member data: בדיק

    // When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
    wprintf(L"full JSON: %s\n",json.emit());

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

    // To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
    CkStringBuilderW sb;
    json.EmitSb(sb);
    // The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
    sb.Decode(L"json",L"utf-8");

    wprintf(L"%s\n",sb.getAsString());

    // Output:
    // {"example":"בדיק"}
