I know we can use Requests.jl to get the data, but I am not sure how we can parse the JSON with JSON.jl:
```julia
using Requests, JSON
r = get("https://api.github.com/users/juliohm")
parse(r.data) # should JSON.Parser.parse work here?
```

I think you should probably try HTTP.jl
I don’t think Requests is recommended or actively maintained

@musm my choice for Requests.jl over HTTP.jl was based on the number of stars on GitHub (100 vs. 19), could you please confirm HTTP.jl is the future?

I can’t predict the future but here is the original quote [HTTP/2 Support by sorpaas · Pull Request #133 · JuliaWeb/Requests.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaWeb/Requests.jl/pull/133#issuecomment-287851382)

The answer with HTTP.jl:
```julia
using HTTP, JSON
resp = HTTP.get("https://api.github.com/users/juliohm")
str = String(resp.body)
jobj = JSON.Parser.parse(s)
```

@juliohm, should it be JSON.parse(str) \* ?

@miguelraz I don’t remember what happened, but I had to use `JSON.Parser.parse(str)` instead as I wrote on my answer. Maybe it has changed since then.

`JSON.parse` should work, but will not autocomplete in the REPL due to a Julia REPL limitation.

I am new to julia and came here searching for HTTP scraping…
This is our minimal sample (working as of 20201008):
```julia
import Pkg;
Pkg.add("HTTP")
Pkg.add("JSON")
Pkg.add("JSON")
Pkg.add("JSON3")
Pkg.add("LazyJSON")
import HTTP
import JSON
import JSON;
import JSON3;
import LazyJSON;
using JSON
using HTTP
using JSON;
using JSON3;
using LazyJSON;

url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xamarin/AndroidX/20200915-mono.cecil-fix/config.json"
resp = HTTP.get(url)
str = String(resp.body)
println("str = ", str)
jobj_JSON = JSON.parse(str)
println("jobj_JSON = ", jobj_JSON)
jobj_JSON3 = JSON3.read(str)
println("jobj_JSON3 = ", jobj_JSON)
jobj_LazyJSON = LazyJSON.value(str)
println("jobj_LazyJSON = ", jobj_LazyJSON)
```
