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.

Unicode C

#include <C_CkJsonObjectW.h>
#include <C_CkStringBuilderW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    const wchar_t *s;
    HCkJsonObjectW json;
    HCkStringBuilderW sb;

    success = FALSE;

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

    json = CkJsonObjectW_Create();

    success = CkJsonObjectW_Load(json,s);

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

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

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

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

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


    CkJsonObjectW_Dispose(json);
    CkStringBuilderW_Dispose(sb);

    }
