Can you please provide some more detail as to what you wish to do with the JSON files? If you wish to access a RESTful Web Service using JSON then the Interface Mapping Toolkit (IMTK) can generate a COBOL client from a JSON schema file that will consume the Web Service. Which Visual COBOL product are you using, VC Visual Studio, Eclipse or DevHub?

I just have developed a small WPF-Program reading a JSON file and displaying some filed in a DataGrid. I send it to Claude Greiner.
