Re: Invoking a remote webservice using JSON

Bill,

This should be as simple as using our GETURI (www.bvstools.com/geturi.html)
tool or Scotts HTTPAPI to make the web request and save the JSON to a
file. Then you simply parse the JSON.

GETURI allows you to set headings to any values you want, even add your own
custom headings if need be. I'm sure HTTPAPI does as well.

I have a few tutorials on parsing JSON here:
http://www.fieldexit.com/forum/thread?groupid=Prog&forumid=POC

The part 1 article uses a stream file containing the JSON and parses it.

If your provide some info on the request I can show you a GETURI example,
and I'm sure others can help with an HTTPAPI sample.

Since you save you've done XML, there's really nothing different here
except a couple headers to set and using Scott's port of YAJL to parse.

I need to have an RPG program invoke a remote web service and that web

body. I have used YAJL to construct the JSON correctly. My problem is that
all examples I can find show how to “BE” the web service, not how to
“CONSUME” a web service with JSON. I have previously invoke remote RESTful
web services that use XML via Scot Klement’s LIBHTTP utilites. The JSON
piece and header/body have me spinning in circles. Does anybody have an
samples they know of that show how to consume a web service that uses JSON
for the request and response?
