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

// Load a PEM file into memory.
Dim sbPem As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
Dim success As Boolean
success = sbPem.LoadFile("qa_data/pem/rsa_public.pem","utf-8")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog("Failed to load PEM file.")
    Return
End If

// Load the PEM into a public key object.
Dim pubKey As New Chilkat.PublicKey
success = pubKey.LoadFromString(sbPem.GetAsString())
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(pubKey.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Get the public key in JWK format:
Dim jwk As String
jwk = pubKey.GetJwk()

// 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:

Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = json.Load(jwk)
json.EmitCompact = False
System.DebugLog("RSA Public Key in JWK format:")
System.DebugLog(json.Emit())

// Sample output:
// { 
//   "kty": "RSA",
//   "n": "33TqqLR3eeUmDtHS89qF3p4MP7Wfqt2Zjj3lZjLjjCGDvwr9cJNlNDiuKboODgUiT4ZdPWbOiMAfDcDzlOxA04DDnEFGAf-kDQiNSe2ZtqC7bnIc8-KSG_qOGQIVaay4Ucr6ovDkykO5Hxn7OU7sJp9TP9H0JH8zMQA6YzijYH9LsupTerrY3U6zyihVEDXXOv08vBHk50BMFJbE9iwFwnxCsU5-UZUZYw87Uu0n4LPFS9BT8tUIvAfnRXIEWCha3KbFWmdZQZlyrFw0buUEf0YN3_Q0auBkdbDR_ES2PbgKTJdkjc_rEeM0TxvOUf7HuUNOhrtAVEN1D5uuxE1WSw",

// Additional information can be added like this:
success = json.AppendString("use","enc")
success = json.AppendString("kid","123ABC")

// Now examine the JSON:
