(PureBasic) JSON: Miscellaneous Operations

Demonstrates a variety of JSON API methods. This example uses the following JSON document:

{
   "alphabet": "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",
   "sampleData" : {
           "pi": 3.14,
	   "apple": "juicy",
	   "hungry": true,
	   "withoutValue": null,
           "answer": 42
          
	}
}
