(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Load JSON Array from HTTP Response Body

Demonstrates how to load the HTTP response body directly into a JsonArray.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.89 or greater because it uses the GetBodyJarr 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 JsonArray by calling JsonArray.LoadSb.

Dim http As New Chilkat.Http
Dim success As Boolean

Dim resp As Chilkat.HttpResponse = Await http.PTextAsync("GET","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampledata/sampleArray.json","","","",False,False)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' A JSON array is JSON that begins with "[" and ends with "]"
Dim jarr As New Chilkat.JsonArray

' If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the JSON from the HttpResponse to the JsonArray, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
' This could save memory for extremely large JSON responses.
resp.UncommonOptions = "TakeResponseBody"

resp.GetBodyJarr(jarr)

Debug.WriteLine(jarr.Emit())

' Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
Debug.WriteLine("----")
Debug.WriteLine(resp.BodyStr)
