TSslHttpRest.GetResponseJson and json array

[KBazX 0]

The TSslHttpRest.GetResponseJson function cannot process json of the following type:

[]

["aaa"]

["aaa", "bbb"]

In theory, we should add an analysis of the presence of square brackets in the resulting string to this function.

The REST component does a simple check for {}, but would miss Json that comprises only array elements without any objects, which I assumed was very rare.  

 

But adding such a check is trival, meanwhile you can just parse ResponseRaw, albeit with the risk of failed parsing from non-Json text.

I just had this situation.

I requested an array of objects from the web service, but specified the incorrect range of the array index. The web service returned an empty array.

I always return REST Json responses with a results wrapper, success/fail, to avoid the client needing to parse for data. 

 

But your change is made, and will be in SVN this week.

Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to influence the developers of the web service.

 

Thank you so much for your work!
