Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

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

$json = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject

$success = $json.LoadFile("qa_data/json/jsonBodyForHttpPost.json")
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($json.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

$resp = New-Object Chilkat.HttpResponse
$success = $http.HttpJson("POST","https://test.something.com/XYZ/API/v1/CreditInsuranceCalculator/CalculatePremiums",$json,"application/json",$resp)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$jsonResp = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$jsonResp.Load($resp.BodyStr)

$jsonResp.EmitCompact = $false
$($jsonResp.Emit())

#  The JSON response to be parsed looks like this:
#  {
#    "LifeAmount": 513.85,
#    "LifeResidualAmount": 123.38,
#    "CriticalIllnessAmount": 0,
#    "CriticalIllnessResidualAmount": 0,
#    "DisabilityAmount": 881.70,
#    "PolicyFee": 0.00,
#    "PolicyFeeSecondary": 0,
#    "PolicyFeeHidden": 50.00,
#    "PolicyFeeHiddenSecondary": 0
#  }

#  We can get the floating point numbers as strings.  Then convert to double
#  using the appropriate string-to-double conversion for your programming language.
#  For example, in C++ use atof.  In C# use Convert.ToDouble.  
$lifeAmount = $jsonResp.StringOf("LifeAmount")
$lifeResidualAmount = $jsonResp.StringOf("LifeResidualAmount")

$("LifeAmount = " + $lifeAmount)
