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

*  The JSON response to be parsed looks like this:
*  {
*    "LifeAmount": 513.85,
*    "LifeResidualAmount": 123.38,
*    "CriticalIllnessAmount": 0,
*    "CriticalIllnessResidualAmount": 0,
*    "DisabilityAmount": 881.70,
*    "PolicyFee": 0.00,
*    "PolicyFeeSecondary": 0,
*    "PolicyFeeHidden": 50.00,
*    "PolicyFeeHiddenSecondary": 0
*  }

*  We can get the floating point numbers as strings.  Then convert to double
*  using the appropriate string-to-double conversion for your programming language.
*  For example, in C++ use atof.  In C# use Convert.ToDouble.
