Lua Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Load JSON Data at Path

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to load JSON data into a path within a JSON database. For example, we begin with this JSON:

{
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2,
  "c": {
    "x": 1,
    "y": 2
  }
}

Then we load {"mm": 11, "nn": 22} to "c", and the result is this JSON:

{
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2,
  "c": {
    "mm": 11,
    "nn": 22
  }
}

Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- Demonstrates how to load replace the data at a location within a JSON database.

local p = "{\"a\": 1, \"b\": 2, \"c\": { \"x\": 1, \"y\": 2 } }"

local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json:load(p)
json.emit_compact = false
print(json:emit())

local q = "{\"mm\": 11, \"nn\": 22}"

local c = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json:object_of2("c", c)
c:load(q)

-- See that x and y are replaced with mm and nn.
print(json:emit())
