(Chilkat2-Python) Insert JSON Object into another JSON Object

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

Chilkat2 Python Downloads install with pip pip3 install chilkat2 or download... Python Module for Windows, Linux, Alpine Linux, MacOS, Solaris

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"
#   ]
# }

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

# Get the JSON object at that location, and load the JSON..
# jsonInfo is a CkJsonObject
jsonInfo = jsonA.ObjectOf("info")
jsonInfo.Load(jsonB.Emit())

print(jsonA.Emit())

# The end result is this:

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