# Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
# The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
# reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
# made via the Connect method.

# Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
# Generate Code to Create JSON

# The following JSON is sent in the request body.
# This example wil demonstrate creating a pool with many options specified.
# The only required JSON member is "PoolName".
