For the given URL scheme, return the details that Launch Services has for the scheme and its current handler in JSON format.

Scheme values can be things like, "mailto" or "http". No result is returned if a handler isn't returned for the scheme.

If the variable $response contains the JSON result below, you could use these two methods to get the application name that is the scheme's handler using these two methods:

bBox_JQ (0; $result; ".CFBundleName")

JSONGetElement ($result; "CFBundleName")
