// This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

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

// Output:  [1,2,3,4]
Debug.WriteLine(a.Emit());
Debug.WriteLine("--------");

// 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:

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

// Output:  (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
Debug.WriteLine("(json) " + json.Emit());
Debug.WriteLine("--------");

Chilkat.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]
Debug.WriteLine("(abc) " + abc.Emit());
Debug.WriteLine("--------");

// Output: (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
Debug.WriteLine("(json) " + json.Emit());
Debug.WriteLine("--------");
