' Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject")
set jsonA = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
success = jsonA.UpdateString("animal","zebra")
success = jsonA.UpdateString("colors[0]","white")
success = jsonA.UpdateString("colors[1]","black")

jsonA.EmitCompact = 0
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( jsonA.Emit()) & "</pre>"

' jsonA contains:

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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject")
set jsonB = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
success = jsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal")
success = jsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",0)

jsonB.EmitCompact = 0
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( jsonB.Emit()) & "</pre>"

' 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"
'   ]
' }

' First add an empty object at the desired location:
success = jsonA.AddObjectAt(1,"info")

' Get the JSON object at that location, and load the JSON..
' jsonInfo is a Chilkat.JsonObject
Set jsonInfo = jsonA.ObjectOf("info")
success = jsonInfo.Load(jsonB.Emit())

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( jsonA.Emit()) & "</pre>"

' The end result is this:

' {
'   "animal": "zebra",
'   "info": {
'     "type": "mammal",
'     "carnivore": false
'   },
'   "colors": [
