Emit JSON Array to StringBuilder

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to write a JSON array to a Chilkat StringBuilder object. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim a As New Chilkat.JsonArray
success = a.Load("[ 1,2,3,4 ]")

' We could get the JSON array as a string...
Dim s As String = a.Emit()
Debug.WriteLine(s)

' But what if the JSON array contains a huge amount of data,
' and we don't want to marshal it all from Chilkat's internal
' native code to a string in our programming language?

' You can instead emit to a Chilkat StringBuilder
Dim sb As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
a.EmitSb(sb)

' Perhaps the StringBuilder object can be passed to other methods..
' Chilkat typically provides methods where a potentially large string
' can be passed in via a StringBuilder object..

' Or perhaps you wish to save to a file..
success = sb.WriteFile("c:/temp/qa_output/a.json","utf-8",False)
