Hi,
I’m trying to figure out the best way to capture JSON input into an Active4D
page. (Using 4D version 14, Active4D version 6.1.)
I can use the 4D command:
WEB GET HTTP BODY (inJSON)
which will grab the body of the incoming request and put it into a BLOB var
(inJSON), which I can then work with on the page.
However, if I do this all in Active4D, will this work?
$a4d_collection := new collection
$a4d_collection ::= parse json (BLOB to text(_form{"_data_"}))
The question I have (that I couldn’t find a specific answer in the docs) is
whether I can capture the incoming data using:
_form{"_data_"}
The docs mention that this will work for XML; I’m assuming the same for JSON?
Or is there a better way to do this?
(I did some initial testing using a normal Form variable with JSON content, and
the “parse json” command works great in converting the json into a collection.
So just need to know if “_form{"_data_"}” works for capturing the request, or
if there’s some other method even better for doing this.)
Thanks!
Michael Larue
