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

$oJsonA.EmitCompact = False
ConsoleWrite($oJsonA.Emit() & @CRLF)

; jsonA contains:

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

$oJsonB = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")
$oJsonB.UpdateString("users[0].role","Surgeon")
$oJsonB.UpdateNewArray("users[0].sub_roles")
$oJsonB.UpdateBool("users[0].viewable_for_sharing",True)
$oJsonB.UpdateInt("users[0].eula_create_date",123)
$oJsonB.UpdateString("users[1].role","Support")
$oJsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[0]","Tech")
$oJsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[1]","Service")
$oJsonB.UpdateBool("users[1].viewable_for_sharing",True)
$oJsonB.UpdateInt("users[1].eula_create_date",123)

$oJsonB.EmitCompact = False
ConsoleWrite($oJsonB.Emit() & @CRLF)

; 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
;     }
;   ]
; }

; First add an empty array at the desired location (-1 means append to end).
$oJsonA.AddArrayAt(-1,"users")

; The destination is the empty "users" array, the source is the populated "users" array in jsonB.
Local $oJsonUsersDest = $oJsonA.ArrayOf("users")
Local $oJsonUsersSrc = $oJsonB.ArrayOf("users")
; Copy the array items from source to dest
$oJsonUsersDest.AppendArrayItems($oJsonUsersSrc)

ConsoleWrite($oJsonA.Emit() & @CRLF)

; 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
;     }
;   ]
; }
