Re: Help receiving JSON into CGI program

Alvin,

200%20MAIN%20ST isn't JSON.  There is no need to encode blanks in JSON, 
it'd simply be { "street": "200 MAIN ST" } but if you had to encode 
something, it'd look like this: { "street": "200\u0020MAIN\u0020ST" }

What you have is HTTP URL Encoded data. To decode it, you can call the 
SQL URLDECODE function  https://tinyurl.com/47wexvzz
