Dim json As New ChilkatJsonObject

Dim success As Long
success = json.Load("{ ""AchievementDate"":""/Date(1540229468330-0500)/""}")

Dim dt As New CkDateTime
success = json.DateOf("AchievementDate",dt)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Debug.Print "Unable to parse a date/time."
    Exit Sub
End If

' Show the date in different formats:
Dim bLocal As Long
bLocal = 1
Debug.Print "RFC822: " & dt.GetAsRfc822(bLocal)
Debug.Print "Timestamp: " & dt.GetAsTimestamp(bLocal)
Debug.Print "YYYY-MM-DD: " & dt.GetAsIso8601("YYYY-MM-DD",bLocal)

' Get integer values for year, month, day, etc.
Dim dtObj As DtObj
Set dtObj = dt.GetDtObj(bLocal)
Debug.Print "year: " & dtObj.Year
Debug.Print "month: " & dtObj.Month
Debug.Print "day: " & dtObj.Day
Debug.Print "hour: " & dtObj.Hour
Debug.Print "minute: " & dtObj.Minute
Debug.Print "seconds: " & dtObj.Second

' 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
