Insert JSON Object into another JSON Object

Demonstrates how to insert one JSON object into another. Effectively, the JSON object must be copied into the other..

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

// Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
var jsonA = new CkJsonObject();
jsonA.UpdateString("animal","zebra");
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[0]","white");
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[1]","black");

jsonA.EmitCompact = false;
console.log(jsonA.Emit());

// jsonA contains:

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

var jsonB = new CkJsonObject();
jsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal");
jsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",false);

jsonB.EmitCompact = false;
console.log(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);

console.log(jsonA.Emit());

// The result is this:

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