  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // Note: The code for setting up the Chilkat REST object and making the initial connection can be done once.
  // Once connected, the REST object may be re-used for many REST API calls.
  // (It's a good idea to put the connection setup code in a separate function/subroutine.)

  // This example loads the JSON access token file 
  // saved by this example: Get Google Contacts OAuth2 Access Token
