#include <CkDns.h>
#include <CkJsonObject.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkDns dns;

    CkJsonObject json;
    json.put_EmitCompact(false);

    success = dns.Query("TXT","x.com",json);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << dns.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << json.emit() << "\r\n";
