This sample code allows you to connect to a JSON-stat provider, get a JSON-stat response and show the datasets, dimensions and categories in that response. Three examples are provided but you can type your own JSON-stat address (for instance, try any of the Statistics Norway datasets).
Important: This sample code must be run in its own window.
This sample code uses .Dataset(), .Dimension() and .Category() without parameters for generalization's sake.
