(Unicode C) Get the Root of a JSON Document

Demonstrates how to get back to the JSON root object from anywhere in the JSON document. This example uses the following JSON document:

{
  "flower": "tulip",
  "abc":
    {
    "x": [
       { "a" : 1 },
       { "b1" : 100, "b2" : 200 },
       { "c" : 3 }
    ],
    "y": 200,
    "z": 200
    }
}

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
