How to parse JSON with VBA without external libraries?

by

I’ve found this script example useful (from http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/898899-json-api-excel.html#post4332075 ):

Sub getData()

    Dim Movie As Object
    Dim scriptControl As Object

    Set scriptControl = CreateObject("MSScriptControl.ScriptControl")
    scriptControl.Language = "JScript"

    With CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
        .Open "GET", "http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=frozen&y=&plot=short&r=json", False
        .send
        Set Movie = scriptControl.Eval("(" + .responsetext + ")")
        .abort
        With Sheets(2)
            .Cells(1, 1).Value = Movie.Title
            .Cells(1, 2).Value = Movie.Year
            .Cells(1, 3).Value = Movie.Rated
            .Cells(1, 4).Value = Movie.Released
            .Cells(1, 5).Value = Movie.Runtime
            .Cells(1, 6).Value = Movie.Director
            .Cells(1, 7).Value = Movie.Writer
            .Cells(1, 8).Value = Movie.Actors
            .Cells(1, 9).Value = Movie.Plot
            .Cells(1, 10).Value = Movie.Language
            .Cells(1, 11).Value = Movie.Country
            .Cells(1, 12).Value = Movie.imdbRating
        End With
    End With

End Sub
