// Load the following JSON:

// {

//     "gender": "male",
//     "country": "US"
//   },

var index1 = json.IndexOf("Jon");

// We have this now:
console.log(json.Emit());

// {
//   "petter": {

//     "gender": "female",
//     "country": "FR"

// To swap an inner member:

var jsonSara = new CkJsonObject();

index2 = jsonSara.IndexOf("country");

// We now have this:

// {

//     "DOB": "26/02/1986",
//     "gender": "male",
//     "country": "US"
//   },
//   "Jon": {
//     "DOB": "19/03/1984",
//     "gender": "male",
//     "country": "UK"
//   },
//   "Sara": {
//     "country": "FR",
//     "gender": "female",
//     "DOB": "13/05/1982"
//   }
