# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# In a previous example, we obtained a Microsoft Graph OAuth2 access token.
# This example loads the JSON saved from the previous example and decodes the id_token.

# Our Microsoft Graph OAuth2 token looks like this:

# {
#   "token_type": "Bearer",
#   "scope": "openid profile User.ReadWrite Mail.ReadWrite Mail.Send Files.ReadWrite User.Read Calendars.ReadWrite Group.ReadWrite.All",
#   "expires_in": 3600,
#   "ext_expires_in": 3600,
#   "access_token": "EwCQA8l6...0HhMKYwC",
#   "refresh_token": "MCWulIvzi2yD0S...igEFn51mqcByhZtAJg",
#   "id_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1...Q7lRDaR-7A",
#   "expires_on": "1562862714"
# }
