load ./chilkat.dll

# Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

# Load a PEM file into memory.
set sbPem [new_CkStringBuilder]

set success [CkStringBuilder_LoadFile $sbPem "qa_data/pem/ecc_public.pem" "utf-8"]
if {$success != 1} then {
    puts "Failed to load PEM file."
    delete_CkStringBuilder $sbPem
    exit
}

# Load the PEM into a public key object.
set pubKey [new_CkPublicKey]

set success [CkPublicKey_LoadFromString $pubKey [CkStringBuilder_getAsString $sbPem]]
if {$success != 1} then {
    puts [CkPublicKey_lastErrorText $pubKey]
    delete_CkStringBuilder $sbPem
    delete_CkPublicKey $pubKey
    exit
}

# Get the public key in JWK format:
set jwk [CkPublicKey_getJwk $pubKey]

# The GetJwk method will return the JWK in the most compact JSON format possible,
# as a single line with no extra whitespace.  To get a more human-readable JWK (for this example),
# load into a Chilkat JSON object and emit non-compact:

set json [new_CkJsonObject]

CkJsonObject_Load $json $jwk
CkJsonObject_put_EmitCompact $json 0
puts "ECC Public Key in JWK format:"
puts [CkJsonObject_emit $json]

# Sample output:
# { 
#   "kty": "EC",
#   "crv": "P-256",
#   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
#   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU"
# }
# 
# Additional information can be added like this:
CkJsonObject_AppendString $json "use" "enc"
CkJsonObject_AppendString $json "kid" "123ABC"

# Now examine the JSON:
puts [CkJsonObject_emit $json]

# { 
#   "kty": "EC",
#   "crv": "P-256",
#   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
#   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
#   "use": "enc",
#   "kid": "123ABC"
# }
