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

* Get our previously obtained OAuth2 access token, which should contain JSON like this:
* {
*   "expires_in": 3600,
*   "x_refresh_token_expires_in": 8726400,
*   "refresh_token": "L011546037639r ... 3vR2DrbOmg0Sdagw",

* }

* Connect using TLS.
* A single REST object, once connected, can be used for many Quickbooks REST API calls.
* The auto-reconnect indicates that if the already-established HTTPS connection is closed,
* then it will be automatically re-established as needed.

loJson.EmitCompact = 0
? loJson.Emit()

* Get some information from the JSON..
? "Name: " + loJson.StringOf("Account.Name")
? "Id: " + loJson.StringOf("Account.Id")

* Load the CreateTime into a CkDateTime...
loDtime.SetFromTimestamp(loJson.StringOf("Account.MetaData.CreateTime"))
