ITIDA Canonicalize JSON and Compute SHA256 Hash

See more Egypt ITIDA Examples

Demonstrates creating the canonical (ITIDA) version of a JSON document, and then computes the SHA256 hash of the canonicalized JSON. Delphi ActiveX

uses
    Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
    Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, Chilkat_TLB;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

success: Integer;
sb: TChilkatStringBuilder;

begin
success := 0;

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

// Load the JSON containing the document to be signed.

// The JSON file should look like this:
// NOTE: The JSON should NOT begin with "{ "documents" : [ ..."

//       {
//          "issuer":{
//             "address":{
