Insert JSON Object into another JSON Object

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to insert one JSON object into another. Effectively, the JSON object must be copied into the other.. Chilkat2-Python

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"
#   ]
