isCOBOL Evolve : Appendices : Internal Objects : JSONStream Class (com.iscobol.rts.JSONStream) : readFromStream
readFromStream
Reads a JSON stream and puts its content in the data item associated with the JSONStream object.
General format
void readFromStream ( Json-Source )
Syntax rules
1. Json-Source is an object reference to java.io.InputStream.
General rules
1. When the read method is invoked, the whole content of Json-Source is read and the data item associated with the JSONStream object is updated.
 
NOTE - If the number of occurrences of a JSON field is not known at the time the program is written, specifying the DYNAMIC phrase of the OCCURS clause in the data item associated with the JSONStream object is recommended.
2. The following escapes are allowed: \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \" and \\. Any other character preceeded by a backslash is considered invalid and makes the read fail unless you set iscobol.jsonstream.allow_backslash_escaping_any_character (boolean) to true in the configuration.
