RE: YAJL procedures

Scott,

Yajl_getBuf() returns the pointer AND the length. I was just taking those same values and passing them to http_post. So I'm not sure why that would be a problem (provided it did this before yajl_genClose().

FWIW - I've switched to using the yajl_getBufStr() because it's easier (for me) to debug.

BTW: Thanks for both tools!

Greg

Hi,

Seems to me you should be using yajl_copyBufStr().  Definitely should
not be using yajl_getBuf() which simply returns a raw pointer to the
internal buffer... this seems like a disaster waiting to happen.  You
say you want to see the stuff in debug... I don't see how calling
yajl_getBuf() is going to achieve that?

Thanks for the suggestions. I should have indicated that I'm working with a JSON web service.

Since I'm going to use this with http_post() (which uses a pointer). So I might as well do this and forgo the string? I just like to "see" stuff in debug.

yajl_endObj();
rc = yajl_getBuf(jsonPtr:jsonLen);
rc = http_post( URL
: jsonPtr
: jsonLen
: response
: HTTP_TIMEOUT
: HTTP_USERAGENT
: 'application/json');
yajl_genClose();
