23. Part 02 Working With API & ActionScript Result Formats & Authentication

24. Result Formats & Authentication Common Result Formats

25. Result Formats & Authentication Common Result Formats XML (eXtensible Markup Language)

26. Result Formats & Authentication Common Result Formats XML (eXtensible Markup Language) JSON (Javascript Object Notation)

27. Result Formats & Authentication Common Result Formats XML (eXtensible Markup Language) JSON (Javascript Object Notation) JSON is my personal favorite.

28. Result Formats & Authentication Common Result Formats XML (eXtensible Markup Language) JSON (Javascript Object Notation) JSON is my personal favorite. It’s fairly readable

29. Result Formats & Authentication Common Result Formats XML (eXtensible Markup Language) JSON (Javascript Object Notation) JSON is my personal favorite. It’s fairly readable Readily parsed into array in ActionScript

30. Result Formats & Authentication Common Result Formats XML (eXtensible Markup Language) JSON (Javascript Object Notation) JSON is my personal favorite. It’s fairly readable Readily parsed into array in ActionScript The majority of social networks have JSON formatted API call result

31. Result Formats & Authentication Parsing JSON An example of an API call result formatted as JSON [{"results":[ {"from_user_id_str":"27200872","profile_image_url":"http://a1.twimg.com/profile_images/1078865146/roasted-pepper_normal.jpg","created_at":"Tue, 18 Jan 2011 20:36:06 +0000","from_user":"masdennis","id_str":"27464269884821504","metadata":{"result_type":"recent"},"to_user_id":null,"text":"RT @tubagus99: I'm Speaking on Adobe Flash Camp Indonesia http://bit.ly/eGTfOn, see u tomorrow..","id":27464269884821504,"from_user_id":27200872,"geo":null,"iso_language_code":"en","to_user_id_str":null,"source":"<a href="http://www.tweetdeck.com" rel="nofollow">TweetDeck</a>"},{"from_user_id_str":"4809310","profile_image_url":"http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1127731248/4square_normal.png","created_at":"Tue, 18 Jan 2011 18:25:12 +0000","from_user":"tubagus99","id_str":"27431327036866560","metadata":{"result_type":"recent"},"to_user_id":null,"text":"I'm Speaking on Adobe Flash Camp Indonesia http://bit.ly/eGTfOn, see u tomorrow..","id":27431327036866560,"from_user_id":4809310,"geo":null,"iso_language_code":"en","to_user_id_str":null,"source":"<a href="http://www.tweetdeck.com" rel="nofollow">TweetDeck</a>"}... http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=adobe%20camp%20indonesia&rpp=50

32. Result Formats & Authentication Parsing JSON The ActionScipt to convert the result into an array _httpService.url = _apiCall; _httpService.resultFormat = "text"; _httpService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,resultTweets); _httpService.send(); function resultTweets(event:ResultEvent):void { _jsonResult = "[" + String(event.result) + "]"; var arr:Array = (JSON.decode(_jsonResult) as Array); var rawResults:Array = arr[0].results; _tweetsAC = new ArrayCollection(rawResults); } samples/json/parsing.mxml

33. Result Formats & Authentication Parsing JSON Example App In Action
