; This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; The JSON response to be parsed looks like this:
; {
;   "LifeAmount": 513.85,
;   "LifeResidualAmount": 123.38,
;   "CriticalIllnessAmount": 0,
;   "CriticalIllnessResidualAmount": 0,
;   "DisabilityAmount": 881.70,
;   "PolicyFee": 0.00,
;   "PolicyFeeSecondary": 0,
;   "PolicyFeeHidden": 50.00,
;   "PolicyFeeHiddenSecondary": 0
; }

; We can get the floating point numbers as strings.  Then convert to double
; using the appropriate string-to-double conversion for your programming language.
; For example, in C++ use atof.  In C# use Convert.ToDouble.
