BOOL success = NO;

CkoJsonArray *arr = [[CkoJsonArray alloc] init];

CkoJsonObject *obj = [[CkoJsonObject alloc] init];

// Create a new and empty JSON object in the 1st position of the JSON array 
// and return the reference in the last argument.
[arr AddObjectAt2: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0] json: obj];
[obj UpdateString: @"Name" value: @"Otto"];
[obj UpdateInt: @"Age" value: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 29]];
[obj UpdateBool: @"Married" value: NO];

// Create a new and empty JSON object in the 2nd position of the JSON array 
// and return the reference in the last argument.
[arr AddObjectAt2: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 1] json: obj];
[obj UpdateString: @"Name" value: @"Connor"];
[obj UpdateInt: @"Age" value: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 43]];
[obj UpdateBool: @"Married" value: YES];

// Create a new and empty JSON object in the 3rd position of the JSON array 
// and return the reference in the last argument.
[arr AddObjectAt2: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 2] json: obj];
[obj UpdateString: @"Name" value: @"Ramona"];
[obj UpdateInt: @"Age" value: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 34]];
[obj UpdateBool: @"Married" value: YES];

// Examine what we have:
arr.EmitCompact = NO;
NSLog(@"%@",[arr Emit]);

// The output is:

// [
//   {
//     "Name": "Otto",
//     "Age": 29,
//     "Married": false
//   },
//   {
//     "Name": "Connor",
//     "Age": 43,
//     "Married": true
//   },
//   {
//     "Name": "Ramona",
//     "Age": 34,
//     "Married": true
//   }
// ]
