Demonstrates creating the canonical (ITIDA) version of a JSON document, and then computes the SHA256 hash of the canonicalized JSON. Unicode C++

    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  Load the JSON containing the document to be signed.

    //  The JSON file should look like this:
    //  NOTE: The JSON should NOT begin with "{ "documents" : [ ..."
