use chilkat();

# This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63 or greater.

$json = chilkat::CkJsonObject->new();
$json->put_EmitCompact(0);

# The UpdateString method updates or adds a string member.
# It also auto-creates the objects and/or arrays that
# are missing.  For example:
$json->UpdateString("test.abc[0].xyz","Chicago Cubs");

# The JSON now contains:
print $json->emit() . "\r\n";

# {
#   "test": {
#     "abc": [
#       {
#         "xyz": "Chicago Cubs"
#       }
#     ]
#   }

$json->UpdateString("test.abc[0].xyz","Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!");
print $json->emit() . "\r\n";

# {
#   "test": {
#     "abc": [
#       {
#         "xyz": "Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!"
#       }
#     ]
#   }
