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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

// Lookup an IPv4 address: 149.250.207.170  (this was a randomly chosen address)
$jsonStr = $http->quickGetStr('http://api.db-ip.com/v2/free/149.250.207.170');
if ($http->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
$json = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$json->EmitCompact = 0;
$success = $json->Load($jsonStr);

print $json->emit() . "\n";
