See more Egypt ITIDA Examples

Demonstrates creating the canonical (ITIDA) version of a JSON document. The document in the example is the one at https://sdk.invoicing.eta.gov.eg/files/one-doc.json

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.92 or greater.

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

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

# Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.92 or greater.
# (In v9.5.0.92, the "itida" encoding was added to StringBuilder's Encode method.)
