Procedure Test
    Handle hoJson
    Boolean iSuccess
    String sTemp1

    // This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63 or greater.

    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatJsonObject)) To hoJson
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoJson))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoJson
    End
    Set ComEmitCompact Of hoJson To False

    // The UpdateString method updates or adds a string member.
    // It also auto-creates the objects and/or arrays that
    // are missing.  For example:
    Get ComUpdateString Of hoJson "test.abc[0].xyz" "Chicago Cubs" To iSuccess

    // The JSON now contains:
    Get ComEmit Of hoJson To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1

    // {
    //   "test": {
    //     "abc": [
    //       {
    //         "xyz": "Chicago Cubs"
    //       }
    //     ]
    //   }

    Get ComUpdateString Of hoJson "test.abc[0].xyz" "Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!" To iSuccess
    Get ComEmit Of hoJson To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1

    // {
    //   "test": {
    //     "abc": [
    //       {
    //         "xyz": "Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!"
    //       }
    //     ]
    //   }
