I've solved my issue.... using Matthias's "tip", I searched further into the available inclusions and found Monte's excellent mergJSON (I had opted out looking further once I found and checked the "JSON Libray" inclusion)... which has its own JsonToArray function. Including mergeJSON manually got the standalone to function.
Thanks, Matthias!
