Re: REST with JSON returned

[Robert Dunn <dunnriteservices@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Hi Daniel-
   Search http_url_get_raw / http_url_post_raw functions.  Believe
   Scott/others have provided examples.  You will need to convert the JSON
   response to EBCDIC(eg..http_xlate).
   Scott has also provided YAHL library as a download to assist in parsing
   JSON (eg.. yajl_buf_load_tree).  Since the JSON response is consistent
   and simple, it may be easier to handle your returned JSON with a data
   structure or parsing the results by yourself.
   hth,
   -Bob.

   Subject: REST with JSON returned
     I am trying to consume a RESTful web service where the response will
   be
     in this format:
     {"ApNumber":32866062,"ApAmount":115.291}
     This is all I will get back.  I have gone through all of Scott's
     example programs and they always load the return into a file on the
     IFS, I just want it returned in a variable so I can parse this out.
   I
     started out using Cozzi's iSockets, but he does not handle SSL.
   Using
     that I just used `GetURLData'.  Is there an equivalent in HTTPAPI?
     Seems a little awkward to have my response go to the IFS and then
   have
     to pull it back in.
     Thanks,
     Danny Hayes
