Dim success As Boolean

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

// First build a JWK sample to load..
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = json.UpdateString("kty","EC")
success = json.UpdateString("crv","P-256")
success = json.UpdateString("x","oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE")
success = json.UpdateString("y","vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU")
success = json.UpdateString("d","EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM")

// The JSON contains the following:
// { 
//   "kty": "EC",
//   "crv": "P-256",
//   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
//   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
//   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM"
// }

// Note: The JSON can contain other members, such as "use", "kid", or anything else.  These will be ignored.
json.EmitCompact = False

// Show the JWK string to be loaded:
Dim jwkStr As String
jwkStr = json.Emit()

Dim privKey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
success = privKey.LoadJwk(jwkStr)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(privKey.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// OK.. the JWK is loaded.  It can be used in whatever way desired...

// The key can be retrieved in any other format, such as XML or PEM..
System.DebugLog(privKey.GetXml())

// XML output:
