    // Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 or greater.
    // The ability to automatically parse Microsoft JSON Dates (AJAX Dates) was added in v9.5.0.76
    let json = CkoJsonObject()!

    var success: Bool = json.load("{ \"AchievementDate\":\"/Date(1540229468330-0500)/\"}")

    let dt = CkoDateTime()!
    success = json.date(of: "AchievementDate", dateTime: dt)
    if success != true {
        print("Unable to parse a date/time.")
        return
    }

    // Show the date in different formats:
    var bLocal: Bool = true
    print("RFC822: \(dt.getAsRfc822(bLocal)!)")
    print("Timestamp: \(dt.getAsTimestamp(bLocal)!)")
    print("YYYY-MM-DD: \(dt.getAsIso8601("YYYY-MM-DD", bLocal: bLocal)!)")

    // Get integer values for year, month, day, etc.
    var dtObj: CkoDtObj? = dt.getDtObj(bLocal)
    print("year: \(dtObj!.year.intValue)")
    print("month: \(dtObj!.month.intValue)")
    print("day: \(dtObj!.day.intValue)")
    print("hour: \(dtObj!.hour.intValue)")
    print("minute: \(dtObj!.minute.intValue)")
    print("seconds: \(dtObj!.second.intValue)")

    dtObj = nil

    // Sample output:
    // RFC822: Mon, 22 Oct 2018 17:31:08 -0500
    // Timestamp: 2018-10-22T17:31:08-05:00
    // YYYY-MM-DD: 2018-10-22
    // year: 2018
    // month: 10
    // day: 22
    // hour: 17
    // minute: 31
    // seconds: 8
