Re: RPG, retrieving JSON data from a web service

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been following the thread closely and fully understand the issue 
about "noise".  Defining the problem has been difficult for me because I 
am not understanding the differences between what happens and what is 
supposed to happen.A few points and a few questions may help me figure 
out a way to ask useful questions.

Yes, I validated the .json file with both Eclipse and with the link 
Bradley provided https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ .  I also 
edited out the CR&LF. Either way, I get the "lexical error: invalid char 
in json text " error message.

Is the docNode value an address to the location of the .json file?

       docNode = yajl_stmf_load_tree(%trim(wIFSFileName): errMsg );
       if errMsg = ' ';
          node = YAJL_object_find(docNode: 'success');
          result.success = YAJL_is_true(node);

docNode has a value, errMsg is blank.
Yet node is *null and result.success = "0"

Is that the way it should be?
