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

loJsonA.EmitCompact = .F.
? loJsonA.Emit()

// jsonA contains:

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

loJsonB = createobject("CkJsonObject")
loJsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal")
loJsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",.F.)

loJsonB.EmitCompact = .F.
? 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"
//   ]
// }
