Re: UTF-8 conversion in a REST program

Bradley,

I am not using YAJL in the REST program. The REST program was just receiving the JSON and writing it to the IFS for later processing by a scheduled job. The scheduled job does use YAJL to read the file file from the IFS and parse the JSON.

Rich,

You're correct, the apache server isn't treating the JSON data as text
anymore because of the content type.

If you're using YAJL, it's as easy as specifying *ON in the first parm of
this function call:

docNode = yajl_stdin_load_tree(*on:yajl_errMsg);

You didn't mention if you're using a roll your own or something else.

I have a RPGLE REST program that receives orders in a JSON payload from
our Salesforce application. 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".

I've tried a few different coding techniques to convert the data received
but haven't had any success. Can someone point me to example program that
converts the data read in from StdIn from UTF-8 to EBCDIC?

Thanks,
Rich
