ITIDA Canonicalize JSON and Compute SHA256 Hash

See more Egypt ITIDA Examples

Demonstrates creating the canonical (ITIDA) version of a JSON document, and then computes the SHA256 hash of the canonicalized JSON. PowerBuilder

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

//  Load the JSON containing the document to be signed.

//  The JSON file should look like this:
//  NOTE: The JSON should NOT begin with "{ "documents" : [ ..."

//        {
//           "issuer":{
//              "address":{
//                 "branchID":"0",
//                 "country":"EG",
//                 "regionCity":"Cairo",
//                 "postalCode":"",
//                 "buildingNumber":"0",
//                 "street":"123rd Street",
//                 "governate":"GOVERNATE"
//              },
//              "type":"B",
