procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

jsonA: TChilkatJsonObject;
jsonB: TChilkatJsonObject;

begin
// Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
jsonA := TChilkatJsonObject.Create(Self);
jsonA.UpdateString('animal','zebra');
jsonA.UpdateString('colors[0]','white');
jsonA.UpdateString('colors[1]','black');

jsonA.EmitCompact := 0;
Memo1.Lines.Add(jsonA.Emit());

// jsonA contains:

// {
//   "animal": "zebra",
//   "colors": [
//     "white",
//     "black"
//   ]
// }

jsonB := TChilkatJsonObject.Create(Self);
jsonB.UpdateString('type','mammal');
jsonB.UpdateBool('carnivore',0);

jsonB.EmitCompact := 0;
Memo1.Lines.Add(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"
//   ]
// }

jsonA.AddObjectCopyAt(1,'info',jsonB.ControlInterface);

Memo1.Lines.Add(jsonA.Emit());

// The result is this:

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