HTTPRequest GET bodies of non-json format

A23m1

Hello, My android export of Godot httprequest example var json = JSON.parse(body.get_string_from_utf8()) successfully parses the "json" body (data) and uses print(json.result) for viewing. But it doesn't parse "non-json" formatted webpage bodies. My question is where can I find gdscript documentations and examples to GET (not POST) and properly view any other "non-json-structured" httprequest-ed body, such as raw text, csv, databases, etc?

Thank You

Maybe I don't understand your question.

If you want to print the raw text of the HTTP response, you would simply print body.get_string_from_utf8().

For other cases, the data would have to be appropriately parsed like any data, regardless of whether it's the result of an HTTP request or has another source.

    var data = JSON.parse(body.get_string_from_utf8())
    print( "Response Code: "  +  str(response_code) +"\nResult: " + str(result) +"\nData = " + str(data.result) )

works fine for any json-formatted web file. But, any other formatted web file (.csv, .txt) prints : Response Code: 200 Result: 0 Data = Null (<-- My Problem Here)

Makes me think that json.parse() works only for json-formatted data. If correct, then where are the parsers for other file types? Is there a way to httprequest GET file data that is NOT json?

Thanks

Of course JSON.parse is only for JSON data. That's why it's called JSON. :wink:

I don't know if there are any other ready-to-use parsers. If there's nothing in the official documentation or the Asset library, you may have to write one yourself.

But this has nothing to do with HTTPRequest. Using that in the title of this thread might deter people who have the information you need from reading the thread.

print (body.get_string_from_utf8()) worked. Every example I saw on Godot Docs and videos elsewhere used the json.parse(). So, I falsely "assumed" that was the only way to get the data.

Solved, Thank You.
