Load a JSON Array

See more JSON Examples

The Chilkat JSON API requires the top-level JSON to be an object. Therefore, to load an array requires that it first be wrapped as an object. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

// Imagine we want to load this JSON array for parsing:
Dim jsonArrayStr As String
jsonArrayStr = "[{""id"":200},{""id"":196}]"

// First wrap it in a JSON object by prepending "{ "array":" and appending "}"
Dim sbJson As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = sbJson.Append("{""array"":")
success = sbJson.Append(jsonArrayStr)
success = sbJson.Append("}")

Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = json.Load(sbJson.GetAsString())

// Now we can get the JSON array
Dim jArray As Chilkat.JsonArray
jArray = json.ArrayAt(0)

// Do what you want with the JSON array...
// For example:
Dim jObjId As Chilkat.JsonObject
jObjId = jArray.ObjectAt(0)
System.DebugLog(Str(jObjId.IntOf("id")))
