// Load the JSON into the object.
// Call json.Load to load from a string rather than a file...
$success = $json->LoadFile('qa_data/json/merchantPayment.json');
// We are assuming success..

// Get the easy stuff:

print 'currency: ' . $json->stringOf('currency') . "\n";
print 'buildNumber: ' . $json->stringOf('buildNumber') . "\n";

// Get information that's nested within a sub-object:
