Pass number array through WebRequest

General
1

Hello,

I just have started to learn to build a web service using Xojo web application. I’m trying to receive a number array (about ten parameters), calculate some results using the input parameters, and send out a resulting number array. I now have understood how to receive a single number using HandleUrl and WebRequest such as below:

Dim input As Integer = Request.Path.ToInteger
Var values() As Integer = Array(input,input2,input3,input4,input5)
Var json As String = GenerateJSON(values)
Response.Write(json)

However, I don’t know how to pass a number array not a single number. I have searched lots of Q&A in this forum and googled in the past days but not successful. Can anyone shed me some light?

Seems like you would do the same thing in the other direction. Have the other side send you a json array of numbers and parse it.

Thanks for your answer! I understand I will have the other side send me a json array of numbers but I don’t understand how I code my application to receive it. I at least know I can use “Dim input As Integer = Request.Path” to receive a single number when a user do “http://127.0.0.1:8080/100” (will be diferent domain and number) to pass “100.” Maybe this is too easy and I’m missing something…

Sorry there are typos in my code above and I don’t know how to edit.

Dim input As Integer = Request.Path.ToInteger
Var values() As Integer = Array(input,input+2,input+3,input+4,input+5)
Var json As String = GenerateJSON(values)
Response.Write(json)

Look at the docs for JSONItem. That should be easier to understand.
