No, it doesn't now. What I'm trying to do is save the result of this, then pull out the "version" and compare it to the PACKAGE_VERSION of SentryPeer in my test suite. So if it was in bash or on the CLI: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://127.0.0.1:8082/health-check { "status": "OK", "message": "Hello from SentryPeer!", "version": "0.0.6" } > In fact, the value of outstream, now in json isn't used - loadb simply > overwrites it. > > Further, your callback may be called many times with pieces of the json > string.

It's my misunderstanding of where to put json_loadb(). It's not supposed to be done in the callback, but filling up a json buffer in there and processing wherever I've set CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, correct? As the callback, as you say, may not parse all of the above json in one go or be given it from the API endpoint. My goal is to be able save/process the returned JSON and pull out the version string to do: json_t *sentrypeer_version_json = json_object_get(json, "version"); assert_string_equal(json_string_value(sentrypeer_version_json), PACKAGE_VERSION); Thanks. -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
