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

* First, let's search for the category by name because we'll need to know the category's id to delete.

* Sends the following POST

* POST /api/v3/search/category
* {
*     "filter": [
*         { "type": "equals", "field": "name", "value": "Test123" }
*     ],
*     "includes": {
*         "category": ["id", "name"]
*     }
* }

* Create the above JSON.
