import chilkat2

# Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
jsonA = chilkat2.JsonObject()
jsonA.UpdateString("animal","zebra")
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[0]","white")
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[1]","black")

jsonA.EmitCompact = False
print(jsonA.Emit())

# jsonA contains:

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

jsonB = chilkat2.JsonObject()
jsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal")
jsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",False)

jsonB.EmitCompact = False
print(jsonB.Emit())

# 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())

# The result is this:

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