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

jsonA.EmitCompact = false;
Debug.WriteLine(jsonA.Emit());

// jsonA contains:

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

Chilkat.JsonObject jsonB = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
jsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal");
jsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",false);

jsonB.EmitCompact = false;
Debug.WriteLine(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"
//   ]
// }

// First add an empty object at the desired location:
jsonA.AddObjectAt(1,"info");

// Get the JSON object at that location, and load the JSON..
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonInfo = jsonA.ObjectOf("info");
jsonInfo.Load(jsonB.Emit());

Debug.WriteLine(jsonA.Emit());

// The end result is this:

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