* Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJsonA = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJsonA.UpdateString("animal","zebra")
loJsonA.UpdateString("colors[0]","white")
loJsonA.UpdateString("colors[1]","black")

loJsonA.EmitCompact = 0
? loJsonA.Emit()

* jsonA contains:

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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject')
loJsonB = CreateObject('Chilkat.JsonObject')
loJsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal")
loJsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",0)

loJsonB.EmitCompact = 0
? loJsonB.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"
*   ]
* }

* First add an empty object at the desired location:
loJsonA.AddObjectAt(1,"info")

* Get the JSON object at that location, and load the JSON..
loJsonInfo = loJsonA.ObjectOf("info")
loJsonInfo.Load(loJsonB.Emit())
RELEASE loJsonInfo

? loJsonA.Emit()

* The end result is this:

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