import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.JsonArray;
import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.JsonObject;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

        // Loading into a new JSON array is simple and straightforward.
        JsonArray a = new JsonArray();
        a.load("[ 1,2,3,4 ]");

        // Output:  [1,2,3,4]
        System.out.println(a.emit());
        System.out.println("--------");

        // The JsonArray's Load and LoadSb methods have a peculiar behavior when
        // it is already part of a JSON document.  In this case, the JsonArray
        // becomes detached, and the original document remains unchanged.
        // This is intentional due to the nature of the internal implementation.
        // For example:

        JsonObject json = new JsonObject();
        json.load("{ \"abc\": [ 1,2,3,4 ] }");

        // Output:  (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
        System.out.println("(json) " + json.emit());
        System.out.println("--------");

        JsonArray abc = json.arrayOf("abc");
        // When Load is called, abc becomes it's own document, and the original is not modified.
        abc.load("[ 5,6,7,8 ]");

        // Output: (abc) [5,6,7,8]
        System.out.println("(abc) " + abc.emit());
        System.out.println("--------");

        // Output: (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
        System.out.println("(json) " + json.emit());
        System.out.println("--------");
        abc.close();
    }
