I wouldn't mess with any of the Homer stuff. Jamal abandoned that code long ago. Instead, to parse JSON using VBScript, you can do something like this:
First, get your JSON into a variable of some sort. For example, I have a text file that includes the following JSON string: { "Image": { "Width": 800, "Height": 600 } } I'll load that using this: Set fsObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fsObj.OpenTextFile("json.txt", 1) json = f.ReadAll() I now have a variable, json, that contains my JSON text. Next, I can parse it into an object using the following: Set html = CreateObject("htmlfile") Set win = html.parentWindow win.execScript "var json = " & json, "JScript" Set jsonObj = win.json If you examine the typename of jsonObj, you'll find it to be JscriptTypeInfo. You can then access the properties of the object using standard dot notation, like this: MsgBox jsonObj.image.width You'll get a message box containing: 800 The htmlfile object is the Microsoft HTML Object Library, and it handles (obviously) parsing JSON.
