Example 1 (Update key value of a local JSON file):
This example retrieves a JSON file from a directory and derives the key value from its content. The key value named name is then compared to a created local variable named EmployeeName with Text as data type. When the values are the same, another key named status is changed from enabled to disabled. Once set, the content is then stored in a local JSON file and the Result is then output via Message Box.
