(Chilkat2-Python) JSON: Nested Objects

Here we have a JSON object that contains nested JSON objects. This example demonstrates how to access the contents of the nested objects.

{
  "name": "donut",
  "image":
    {
    "fname": "donut.jpg",
    "w": 200,
    "h": 200
    },
  "thumbnail":
    {
    "fname": "donutThumb.jpg",
    "w": 32,
    "h": 32
    }
}

# This is the above JSON with whitespace chars removed (SPACE, TAB, CR, and LF chars).

jsonStr = "{\"name\": \"donut\",\"image\":{\"fname\": \"donut.jpg\",\"w\": 200,\"h\": 200},\"thumbnail\":{\"fname\": \"donutThumb.jpg\",\"w\": 32,\"h\": 32}}"
