Re: UTF-8 conversion in a REST program

Here is my code to so it. If you need a quick fix. There is other ways in YAJL to do it in one program

Thanks

I wasn't using YAJL in the REST program because all it was doing was receiving the JSON payload and writing it to the IFS as a stream file and returning an HTTP "accepted" message back to the calling process. I am using YAJL in the program that reads the JSON files in the IFS and processes the data. It seemed simpler to just read the payload via QtmhRdStin. I'll look into incorporating YAJL instead.

Why bother with EBCDIC ? JSON is supposed to be UTF-8 and YAJL - for one - will handle that just fine.

It was working great until last week when they changed the content-type in the header from "text/json" to "application/json". The payload is now garbled and I believe that it is coming in as UTF-8 and is not being translated by the web server they way it was when the content-type was "text/json".
