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

    // First build a JWK sample to load..
    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();

    json.UpdateString("crv","P-256");
    json.UpdateString("x","oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE");

    json.UpdateString("d","EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM");

    // The JSON contains the following:
    // {

    //   "crv": "P-256",
    //   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",

    //   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM"
    // }

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

    // Show the JWK string to be loaded:
    var jwkStr = json.Emit();

    var privKey = new chilkat.PrivateKey();

    // 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..
