ITIDA Canonicalize JSON and Compute SHA256 Hash

See more Egypt ITIDA Examples

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

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // 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" : [ ..."

    //       {
    //          "issuer":{
    //             "address":{
    //                "branchID":"0",
    //                "country":"EG",
    //                "regionCity":"Cairo",
    //                "postalCode":"",
    //                "buildingNumber":"0",
    //                "street":"123rd Street",
    //                "governate":"GOVERNATE"
    //             },
    //             "type":"B",
    //             "id":"209999899",
    //             "name":"Xyz SAE"
    //          },
    // ...
    // ...

    let sb = CkoStringBuilder()!
    success = sb.loadFile(path: "my_invoice.json", charset: "utf-8")
    if success == false {
        print("Failed to load input file.")
        return
    }

    // Convert the contents of sb to the ITIDA canonical form.
    // Always pass utf-8 for the 2nd arg.
    sb.encode(encoding: "itida", charset: "utf-8")

    // Examine the canonicalized JSON
    print("\(sb.getAsString()!)")

    // Compute the SHA256 hash and show the SHA256 in hex format
    print("SHA256 hash: \(sb.getHash(algorithm: "sha256", encoding: "hex", charset: "utf-8")!)")
