>>>A client wants me to add a facility for his application to exchange data with a website. The website's SDK calls for POSTs and returns JSON. Looks like either Chilkat or wwIPStuff will give me what I need for the communication, so looking for opinions. (If I go with Chilkat, I'll probably use Bill Anderson's new VFPX wrapper class for it.)

Thanks. What I need to do right now is POST to a website, passing some JSON, and get JSON back as a response.

When I looked into the question of texting a year or so back, Twilio seemed to be the way to go. At the time, it appeared to me that on the VFP side, I could either use the VFPX TwilioX or Chilkat. The client decided not to implement then. Looking back at my notes, I see that I didn't think wwIPStuff could handle this. Wonder if that's actually true.
