#import <CkoJsonObject.h>

// Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
CkoJsonObject *jsonA = [[CkoJsonObject alloc] init];
[jsonA UpdateString: @"animal" value: @"zebra"];
[jsonA UpdateString: @"colors[0]" value: @"white"];
[jsonA UpdateString: @"colors[1]" value: @"black"];

jsonA.EmitCompact = NO;
NSLog(@"%@",[jsonA Emit]);

// jsonA contains:

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

CkoJsonObject *jsonB = [[CkoJsonObject alloc] init];
[jsonB UpdateString: @"type" value: @"mammal"];
[jsonB UpdateBool: @"carnivore" value: NO];

jsonB.EmitCompact = NO;
NSLog(@"%@",[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: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 1] name: @"info"];

// Get the JSON object at that location, and load the JSON..
CkoJsonObject *jsonInfo = [jsonA ObjectOf: @"info"];
[jsonInfo Load: [jsonB Emit]];

NSLog(@"%@",[jsonA Emit]);

// The end result is this:

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