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.

Xbase++

LOCAL nSuccess
LOCAL s
LOCAL oJson
LOCAL oSb

nSuccess := 0

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

oJson := CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")

nSuccess := oJson:Load(s)

//  When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
? "member data: " + oJson:StringOf("example")

//  Output:
//  member data: בדיק

//  When getting the full JSON, it remains encoded. This is expected and intentional.
? "full JSON: " + oJson:Emit()

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

//  To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
oSb := CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
oJson:EmitSb(oSb)
//  The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
oSb:Decode("json", "utf-8")

? oSb:GetAsString()

//  Output:
//  {"example":"בדיק"}

oJson:destroy()
oSb:destroy()
