Insert JSON Object into another JSON Object

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to insert one JSON object into another. Effectively, the JSON object must be copied into the other.. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

# Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
jsonA = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
jsonA.UpdateString("animal","zebra")
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[0]","white")
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[1]","black")

jsonA.put_EmitCompact(false)
print jsonA.emit() + "\n";

# jsonA contains:

# {
#   "animal": "zebra",
#   "colors": [
#     "white",
#     "black"
#   ]
# }

jsonB = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
jsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal")
jsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",false)

jsonB.put_EmitCompact(false)
print jsonB.emit() + "\n";

# jsonB contains:

# {
#   "type": "mammal",
#   "carnivore": false
# }

# Let's say we want to insert jsonB into jsonA to get this:

# {
#   "animal": "zebra",
#   "info" " {
#       "type": "mammal",
#       "carnivore": false
# 	},
#   "colors": [
#     "white",
#     "black"
#   ]
# }

jsonA.AddObjectCopyAt(1,"info",jsonB)

print jsonA.emit() + "\n";

# The result is this:

# {
#   "animal": "zebra",
#   "info": {
#     "type": "mammal",
#     "carnivore": false
#   },
#   "colors": [
#     "white",
#     "black"
#   ]
# }
