json2.Load('{"street":"1200 Elm St.","city":"Springfield","zip":60606}');

// Copy the contents of json2 to a new member object named "addr".
json.AppendObjectCopy('addr',json2.ControlInterface);

Memo1.Lines.Add(json.Emit());
// Expected output is:  {"name":"John","marbles":100,"addr":{"street":"1200 Elm St.","city":"Springfield","zip":60606}}

// Note: Modifying the contents of json does not modify the contents of json2 (because the contents of json2 were copied).
// For example:
json.UpdateString('addr.street','1000 Oak St.');
Memo1.Lines.Add(json.Emit());
// Expected output is:  {"name":"John","marbles":100,"addr":{"street":"1000 Oak St.","city":"Springfield","zip":60606}}

Memo1.Lines.Add(json2.Emit());
// Expected output is: {"street":"1200 Elm St.","city":"Springfield","zip":60606}
