    // Let's say we want to insert jsonB into jsonA to get this:

    // First add an empty object at the desired location:
    Get ComAddObjectAt Of hoJsonA 1 "info" To iSuccess

    // Get the JSON object at that location, and load the JSON..
    Get ComObjectOf Of hoJsonA "info" To vJsonInfo

    Send Destroy of hoJsonInfo

    Get ComEmit Of hoJsonA To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1

    // The end result is this:

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