Android Question Json UTF8 Download with httpjob has many "\" into string

[Magma]

Hi there,

probably I am doing something wrong as always...

Json UTF8 Download with httpjob has many "\" into string, but browser can read it without them. (as JSON).. also in start and end have [, ]

1. Is the right way removing [ ] (array/list) with substring2 or i must use parser --- can i have an example in forum for one record (object) and for more ?
2. Those "\" can removed automatically and how ?

What i get with httpjob:
"[{\"Id\":33,\"Username\":\"xxxxxxxxxxx\",\"Pass\":\"xxxxxxxxx\",\"Admin\":false,\"IatrosId\":1}]"

What i get with browser:

Thanks in advance

Are the data correct after you run them through the json-parser? I guess they should

Can you provide such an example JSON? And your CODE for sure.

If you notice the browser string - it is enclosed in single quotes, and therefore does not need to escape the double quotes. The string returned from httpjob uses " (double quote) so has to escape the " within the string

that means ?

 

[Daestrum]

inside a string \" is treated as the character " and not the string terminator.

 

[DonManfred]

that means ?

that it just should work. I mean the data in your Map or List should be "OK" after they run through the jsonparser

 

[Magma]

Erel's special tool has different prospect...

First if i leave double quotes (download of httpjob has double) in start and at the end

so removing double quotes... getting this

Do you have any other example for json parsing.. ?

 

[Daestrum]

you could (probably) just .replace($"\""$,chr(34)) in the string from httpjob

Hmmm.. that means if someone has a value in string perhaps at... Pass "%$%#$\123" ..will change his pass ! (?)

 

[DonManfred]

What if you Try the B4X Library and post the result from this?

Best is to upload a small project showing the issue

I will do my best... the problem is that the server is not mine and is for development use...

So I will pass the download and go to parsing the "string downloaded" will copy / paste

wait for my results... coming soon

no unless their password contained \" ie abcd\"efg

"you never\know\"

oops seems that this "come" to my way of writing

 

[Magma]

Ok... tried to make it simple and as fast i can...

    Dim thestring As String=File.ReadString(File.DirApp,"test.json") ' i attach the test.json into zip
    Log(thestring)
    
    Dim parser As JSONParser
    parser.Initialize(thestring.SubString2(2,thestring.Length-2))  'removing the [, ]  - if not remove getting the same error as first dialog or with removing taking the second...
    Dim m As Map=parser.NextObject
    Log(m.Get("Username"))

what get in log:

also attaching this screenshot may be helps:

When you make Post request, try adding

job.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json")

        Dim job As HttpJob
        job.Initialize("", Me)
        Dim payload As Map = CreateMap("key": "value", "another key": 1000)
        Dim json As String = payload.As(JSON).ToString 'make sure that the json library is checked
        job.PostString("https://link here", json)
        job.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json")
        Wait For (job) JobDone (job As HttpJob)
        If job.Success Then
            'assuming that the response is json:
            Dim response As Map = job.GetString.As(JSON).ToMap
            Log(response)

        End If
        job.Release

Hi there, not trying to Post request... but Download - not different like fetching (like Erel's jsontree)

 

[DonManfred]

Can you post the url you get the JSON from?

 

[Magma]

Can you post the url you get the JSON from?

i can PM you... no i can't, you have disabled it

 

[Daestrum]

This is what I get from your original line in file

(MyMap) {Pass=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Username=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, IatrosId=1, Id=33, Admin=false}
