JSON conversion and parsing for VBA (Windows and Mac Excel, Access, and other Office applications). It grew out of the excellent project [vba-json](
https://code.google.com/p/vba-json/ ),
Download from ME
Tested in Windows Excel 2013 and Excel for Mac 2011, but should apply to 2007+.

## Options
VBA-JSON includes a few options for customizing parsing/conversion if needed:
- __UseDoubleForLargeNumbers__ (Default = `False`) VBA only stores 15 significant digits, so any numbers larger than that are truncated.
This can lead to issues when BIGINT's are used (e.g. for Ids or Credit Cards), as they will be invalid above 15 digits.
By default, VBA-JSON will use `String` for numbers longer than 15 characters that contain only digits, use this option to use `Double` instead.
- __AllowUnquotedKeys__ (Default = `False`) The JSON standard requires object keys to be quoted (`"` or `'`), use this option to allow unquoted keys.
- __EscapeSolidus__ (Default = `False`) The solidus (`/`) is not required to be escaped, use this option to escape them as `\/` in `ConvertToJson`.
```VB.net
JsonConverter.JsonOptions.EscapeSolidus = True
```
## Installation
2. Import `JsonConverter.bas` into your project (Open VBA Editor, `Alt + F11`; File > Import File)
3. Add `Dictionary` reference/class
- For Windows-only, include a reference to "Microsoft Scripting Runtime"
