This text is displayed while running a Console App on my Mac…

Probably Xojo uses this: http://lloyd.github.io/yajl/ which is a JSON parser written in C.

You can suppress all messages by adding

> dev/null/

to the command line of your console program.

I don’t want to suppress!
It has to be removed from within the sources…

By the way…
Xojo.Data.ParseJSON() is very buggy!

How so?

I exchange some data between Win, Mac and iOS.
Instead of XML I’m using JSON.
The data to be send is converted/encoded with Base64 and that loosing its TextEncoding.
Then there is the switch between String and Text.
I’ve searched many many hours searching for a good solution.
I’ve got it working except in Win console!

when you encode data using base 64 your sending bytes
on the receiving end you need to decode & set the encoding

10

how to trigger that license text?
I don’t see it.

Sorry, found it. Strange that Xojo carries such a license text inside their framework. Makes we wonder what hidden gems are also there.

According to Feedback they solved it and also fixed a crash…
