Re: JSON and the IFS

Use the browser developer tools to see just what exactly is being downloaded from the server. All browsers have developer tools included now - even IE. Each will have a console or network tab to show you the files that are downloaded.

Here is a copy & paste from a 5250 session:

{"presidents":[
{"name":"George Washington" "life":"1732/1799"},

The web console reports the error is row 1 col 16. Which is the first blank, if I counted right. Its also a linefeed. I repeated the exercise without linefeeds and got the same message.

Part 2:
So then I decided to double check. I copied the entire file from the 5250 screens with "Copy Append" and pasted the data into a new JSON file on my PC. It looked fine. I opened the web page. No data was displayed. The web console reported a problem at Row 2, column 28; it was looking for a "}". I am satisfied that it is a ccsid issue. At the moment it seems likely the answer lays with learning more about configuring the Apache server on the iSeries.

From what I can gather in this case the issue is fairly obvious to the naked eye although Booth has yet to confirm that it is the braces ({}) or other chars.
