Parse( INPUT web-context-stream AS HANDLE )   Parse( INPUT source AS LONGCHAR )   Parse( INPUT source AS MEMPTR )   Parse( INPUT source AS CHARACTER )

web-context-stream

A HANDLE variable that specifies the WEB-CONTEXT system handle.

source

An ABL variable or expression containing the JSON string in memory. A LONGCHAR must have a Unicode codepage ("UTF-8", "UTF-16", "UTF-16BE", "UTF-16LE", "UTF-32", "UTF-32BE" or "UTF-32LE"). The codepage for the data in a MEMPTR is detected by looking at the JSON to be parsed. If the codepage is not one of the valid Unicode codepages, a JsonError is raised.
