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

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

// Implements the following CURL command:

// curl --request POST \
//   --url https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send \
//   --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
//   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
//   --data '{"personalizations": [{"to": [{"email": "recipient@example.com"}]}],"from": {"email": "sender@example.com"},"subject":"Hello, World!","content": [{"type": "text/html","value": "Hey,<br>Please find attachment."}], "attachments": [{"content": "BASE64_ENCODED_CONTENT", "type": "text/plain", "filename": "attachment.txt"}]}'

// Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
// Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

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

// The following JSON is sent in the request body.

// {
//   "personalizations": [
