(Classic ASP) 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
    }
}

' Navigate to the "x" array
' xArray is a Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonArray

' We'll skip the null check and assume it's non-null...

' Navigate to the 2nd object contained within the array.  This contains members b1 and b2
' bObj is a Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject
Set bObj = xArray.ObjectAt(1)

' Now go back to the JSON doc root:

' Pretty-print the JSON doc from the root to show that this is indeed the root.
