(Xojo Plugin) 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.

Dim s As String
s = "{ ""example"": ""\u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7"" }"

Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject

Dim success As Boolean
success = json.Load(s)

// When getting the member data, it is automatically decoded.
System.DebugLog("member data: " + json.StringOf("example"))

// Output:
// member data: בדיק

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

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

// To get the full JSON without the encoding, you can decode manually.
Dim sb As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = json.EmitSb(sb)
// The hex encoding used by JSON is utf-8.
success = sb.Decode("json","utf-8")

System.DebugLog(sb.GetAsString())

// Output:
// {"example":"בדיק"}
