*  Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
loJsonA = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJsonA.UpdateString("ciphertext","encryptedData")
loJsonA.UpdateInt("status",200)
loJsonA.UpdateString("error","errorMsg")

loJsonA.EmitCompact = 0
? loJsonA.Emit()

*  jsonA contains:

*  {
*    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
*    "status": 200,
*    "error": "errorMsg"
*  }

loJsonB = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJsonB.UpdateString("users[0].role","Surgeon")
loJsonB.UpdateNewArray("users[0].sub_roles")
loJsonB.UpdateBool("users[0].viewable_for_sharing",1)
loJsonB.UpdateInt("users[0].eula_create_date",123)
loJsonB.UpdateString("users[1].role","Support")
loJsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[0]","Tech")
loJsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[1]","Service")
loJsonB.UpdateBool("users[1].viewable_for_sharing",1)
loJsonB.UpdateInt("users[1].eula_create_date",123)

loJsonB.EmitCompact = 0
? loJsonB.Emit()

*  jsonB contains:

*  {
*    "users": [
*      {
*        "role": "Surgeon",
*        "sub_roles": [],
*        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
*        "eula_create_date": 1649108922482
*      },
*      {
*        "role": "Support",
*        "sub_roles": [
*          "Tech",
*          "Service"
*        ],
*        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
*        "eula_create_date": 1649108951523
*      }
*    ]
*  }

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

*  {
*    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
*    "status": 200,
*    "error": "errorMsg",
*    "users": [
*      {
*        "role": "Surgeon",
*        "sub_roles": [],
*        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
*        "eula_create_date": 1649108922482
*      },
*      {
*        "role": "Support",
*        "sub_roles": [
*          "Tech",
*          "Service"
*        ],
*        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
*        "eula_create_date": 1649108951523
*      }
*    ]
*  }

*  The destination is the empty "users" array, the source is the populated "users" array in jsonB.
loJsonUsersDest = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonArray')
loJsonA.AppendArray2("users",loJsonUsersDest)

loJsonUsersSrc = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonArray')
loJsonB.ArrayOf2("users",loJsonUsersSrc)

*  Copy the array items from source to dest
loJsonUsersDest.AppendArrayItems(loJsonUsersSrc)

? loJsonA.Emit()

*  The end result is this:

*  {
*    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
*    "status": 200,
*    "error": "errorMsg",
*    "users": [
*      {
*        "role": "Surgeon",
*        "sub_roles": [
*        ],
*        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
*        "eula_create_date": 123
*      },
*      {
*        "role": "Support",
*        "sub_roles": [
*          "Tech",
*          "Service"
*        ],
*        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
*        "eula_create_date": 123
*      }
*    ]
*  }
