Demonstrates how to parse date/time strings from JSON.

Note: This example uses the DtOf and DateOf methods introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.73

Dim json As Chilkat.JsonObject
Set json = Chilkat.NewJsonObject

' First, let's create JSON containing some date/time strings.
Dim success As Boolean
success = json.UpdateString("test.timestamp","2018-01-30T20:35:00Z")
success = json.UpdateString("test.rfc822","Tue, 24 Apr 2018 08:47:03 -0500")
success = json.UpdateString("test.dateStrings[0]","2018-01-30T20:35:00Z")
success = json.UpdateString("test.dateStrings[1]","Tue, 24 Apr 2018 08:47:03 -0500")
success = json.UpdateNumber("test.StartLoggingTime","1446834998.695")

' We've built the following JSON:

' Use the DateOf and DtOf methods to load Chilkat date/time objects with the date/time values.
' The CkDateTime object is primarily for loading a date/time from numerous formats, and then getting
' the date/time in various formats.  Thus, it's primarly for date/time format conversion.
' The DtObj object holds a date/time where the individual components (day, month, year, hour, minutes, etc.) are 
' immediately accessible as integers.

Set dateTime = Chilkat.NewCkDateTime
