Question

Two small contributions to Codo's answer:

' "recursive" version of GetObjectProperty
Public Function GetObjectProperty(ByVal JsonObject As Object, ByVal propertyName As String) As Object
    Dim names() As String
    Dim i As Integer

    names = Split(propertyName, ".")

    For i = 0 To UBound(names)
        Set JsonObject = ScriptEngine.Run("getProperty", JsonObject, names(i))
    Next

    Set GetObjectProperty = JsonObject
End Function

' shortcut to object array
Public Function GetObjectArrayProperty(ByVal JsonObject As Object, ByVal propertyName As String) As Object()
    Dim a() As Object
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim l As Integer

    Set JsonObject = GetObjectProperty(JsonObject, propertyName)

    l = GetProperty(JsonObject, "length") - 1

    ReDim a(l)

    For i = 0 To l
        Set a(i) = GetObjectProperty(JsonObject, CStr(i))
    Next

    GetObjectArrayProperty = a
End Function

So now I can do stuff like:

Dim JsonObject As Object
Dim Value() As Object
Dim i As Integer
Dim Total As Double

Set JsonObject = DecodeJsonString(CStr(request.responseText))

Value = GetObjectArrayProperty(JsonObject, "d.Data")

For i = 0 To UBound(Value)
    Total = Total + Value(i).Amount
Next
