I'm writing a module for complicated application and my module should process json response, returned by web server. So, my issue is about how can I decode such kind of text:
\u041f\u043e\u0438\u0441\u043a \u043f\u043e \u0444\u0430\u043c\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0438, \u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438 (\u043e\u0442\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443
It's cyrillic text and Mozilla Firefox displays it as it should be. How can I process that guys? I'm on Delphi 2010.
You can use the DBXJSON
unit which is included in Delphi 2010
uses
DBXJSON;
const
JsonUt8 ='"\u041f\u043e\u0438\u0441\u043a \u043f\u043e \u0444\u0430\u043c\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0438, \u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0438 (\u043e\u0442\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443"';
procedure TForm59.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
LJSONValue: TJSONValue;
begin
LJSONValue:=TJSONObject.ParseJSONValue(TEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(JsonUt8),0);
Edit1.Text:=LJSONValue.ToString;
end;
OK guys, here is complete code that get me managed with this issue:
function Unescape(const s: AnsiString): string;
var
i: Integer;
j: Integer;
c: Integer;
begin
// Make result at least large enough. This prevents too many reallocs
SetLength(Result, Length(s));
i := 1;
j := 1;
while i <= Length(s) do begin
if s[i] = '\' then begin
if i < Length(s) then begin
// escaped backslash?
if s[i + 1] = '\' then begin
Result[j] := '\';
inc(i, 2);
end
// convert hex number to WideChar
else if (s[i + 1] = 'u') and (i + 1 + 4 <= Length(s))
and TryStrToInt('$' + string(Copy(s, i + 2, 4)), c) then begin
inc(i, 6);
Result[j] := WideChar(c);
end else begin
raise Exception.CreateFmt('Invalid code at position %d', [i]);
end;
end else begin
raise Exception.Create('Unexpected end of string');
end;
end else begin
Result[j] := WideChar(s[i]);
inc(i);
end;
inc(j);
end;
// Trim result in case we reserved too much space
SetLength(Result, j - 1);
end;
const
NormalizationC = 1;
function NormalizeString(NormForm: Integer; lpSrcString: PWideChar; cwSrcLength: Integer;
lpDstString: PWideChar; cwDstLength: Integer): Integer; stdcall; external 'Normaliz.dll';
function Normalize(const s: string): string;
var
newLength: integer;
begin
// in NormalizationC mode the result string won't grow longer than the input string
SetLength(Result, Length(s));
newLength := NormalizeString(NormalizationC, PChar(s), Length(s), PChar(Result), Length(Result));
SetLength(Result, newLength);
end;
function UnescapeAndNormalize(const s: AnsiString): string;
begin
Result := Normalize(Unescape(s));
end;
