Re: RPG, retrieving JSON data from a web service

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?

Honestly, I'm finding this whole thread hard to follow, there's so much "noise" in it.  So a full description that doesn't rely on reading other messages in this thread would help a lot :-)
