Hi Alex,
Web.l is a server-side framework.
This thread is about how to handle a uploaded JSON file I believe,
not about consuming a JSON/REST API as a client.
Web.l is an alternative to the picolisp standard GUI framework form.l.
I can recommend web.l for people learning how to implement a HTTP
server, and for small (toy) applications.
It's a simple/simplified HTTP server, and the code is pretty
transparent.
I do not recommend to use web.l for larger or critical production
applications - I think it just makes it too easy to program severe
stability issues and security holes with it.
In practice you like to program your own webserver and stack (as I
did/do), then web.l might be a good basis to start from, but you will
end up with your own implementations anyway.
Or you don't want to be bothered with webserver internals and just need
a framework for writing an application - then stay with picolisp
standard form.l.
That would be my sincere recommendation.
Kind regards,
beneroth

Hi Andreas,

In web.l framework, you you define a request handler using (dh).
I do not know the web.l framework, but like to add that using either
'client'
(from "@lib/http.l") or @bin/ssl is a bit simpler.
'client' can handle POSTs, but no HTTPS. @bin/ssl handles HTTPS, but no
POSTs.
In case you need both, I recommend a pipe to curl again.
'client' and @bin/ssl are used roughly the same way. An example for
parsing
bitcoin rates would be:
(load "@lib/json.l")
(scl 2)
(in '("@bin/ssl" "blockchain.info" 443 "de/ticker")
(while (line)) # Skip header
(readJson) )
