Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.Load("{ \"name\": \"John\", \"marbles\": 100 }");

Chilkat.JsonArray jarr = new Chilkat.JsonArray();
jarr.Load("[ 1, 2, 3, \"apple\", \"orange\", [ 10, 20, 30 ], { \"name\": \"Alfred\"} ]");

// Copy the contents of jar to a new array member named "stuff".
json.AppendArrayCopy("stuff",jarr);

Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());
// Expected output is:  {"name":"John","marbles":100,"stuff":[1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Alfred"}]}

// Note: The contents of the array were copied.
// If we modify the contents of jarr, it does not modify the array contained within "json" because it is a separate copy.
// For example:
jarr.AddIntAt(-1,2020);
Debug.WriteLine(jarr.Emit());
// Expected output: [1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Alfred"},2020]

Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());
// Remains unchanged: {"name":"John","marbles":100,"stuff":[1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Alfred"}]}
