Insert JSON Array into another JSON Object

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to insert a JSON array into a JSON object. C#

//  Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonA = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonA.UpdateString("ciphertext","encryptedData");
jsonA.UpdateInt("status",200);
jsonA.UpdateString("error","errorMsg");

jsonA.EmitCompact = false;
Debug.WriteLine(jsonA.Emit());

//  jsonA contains:

//  {
//    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
//    "status": 200,
//    "error": "errorMsg"
//  }

Chilkat.JsonObject jsonB = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonB.UpdateString("users[0].role","Surgeon");
jsonB.UpdateNewArray("users[0].sub_roles");
jsonB.UpdateBool("users[0].viewable_for_sharing",true);
jsonB.UpdateInt("users[0].eula_create_date",123);
jsonB.UpdateString("users[1].role","Support");
jsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[0]","Tech");
jsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[1]","Service");
jsonB.UpdateBool("users[1].viewable_for_sharing",true);
jsonB.UpdateInt("users[1].eula_create_date",123);

jsonB.EmitCompact = false;
Debug.WriteLine(jsonB.Emit());

//  jsonB contains:

//  {
//    "users": [
//      {
//        "role": "Surgeon",
//        "sub_roles": [],
//        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
//        "eula_create_date": 1649108922482
//      },
//      {
//        "role": "Support",
//        "sub_roles": [
//          "Tech",
//          "Service"
//        ],
//        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
//        "eula_create_date": 1649108951523
//      }
//    ]
//  }

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

//  {
//    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
//    "status": 200,
//    "error": "errorMsg",
//    "users": [
//      {
//        "role": "Surgeon",
//        "sub_roles": [],
//        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
//        "eula_create_date": 1649108922482
//      },
//      {
//        "role": "Support",
//        "sub_roles": [
//          "Tech",
//          "Service"
//        ],
//        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
//        "eula_create_date": 1649108951523
//      }
//    ]
//  }

//  The destination is the empty "users" array, the source is the populated "users" array in jsonB.
Chilkat.JsonArray jsonUsersDest = new Chilkat.JsonArray();
jsonA.AppendArray2("users",jsonUsersDest);

Chilkat.JsonArray jsonUsersSrc = new Chilkat.JsonArray();
jsonB.ArrayOf2("users",jsonUsersSrc);

//  Copy the array items from source to dest
jsonUsersDest.AppendArrayItems(jsonUsersSrc);

Debug.WriteLine(jsonA.Emit());

//  The end result is this:

//  {
//    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
//    "status": 200,
//    "error": "errorMsg",
//    "users": [
//      {
//        "role": "Surgeon",
//        "sub_roles": [
//        ],
//        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
//        "eula_create_date": 123
//      },
//      {
//        "role": "Support",
//        "sub_roles": [
//          "Tech",
//          "Service"
//        ],
//        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
//        "eula_create_date": 123
//      }
//    ]
//  }
