LOCAL loJson

*  Imagine we have the following JSON:

*  	{ 
*  	  "Meta Data": { 
*  	    "1: Symbol": "MSFT",
*  	    "2: Indicator": "Relative Strength Index (RSI)",
*  	    "3: Last Refreshed": "2017-07-28 09:30:00",
*  	    "4: Interval": "15min",
*  	    "5: Time Period": 10,
*  	    "6: Series Type": "close",
*  	    "7: Time Zone": "US/Eastern Time"
*  	  },
*  	  "Technical Analysis: RSI": { 
*  	    "2017-07-28 09:30": { 
*  	      "RSI": "38.6964"
*  	    },
*  	    "2017-07-27 16:00": { 
*  	      "RSI": "50.0088"
*  	    } 
*  	} 

*  The path to the RSI valud 38.6964 is Technical Analysis: RSI.2017-07-28 09:30.RSI

*  Whenever a path part contains a SPACE or "." char, that part must be enclosed
*  in double quotes.  For example:

loJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJson.LoadFile("qa_data/json/rsi.json")

? "RSI: " + loJson.StringOf('"Technical Analysis: RSI"."2017-07-28 09:30".RSI')

*  output is 38.6964
