<?php

include("chilkat.php");

// Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
$jsonA = new CkJsonObject();
$jsonA->UpdateString('animal','zebra');
$jsonA->UpdateString('colors[0]','white');
$jsonA->UpdateString('colors[1]','black');

$jsonA->put_EmitCompact(false);
print $jsonA->emit() . "\n";

// jsonA contains:

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

$jsonB = new CkJsonObject();
$jsonB->UpdateString('type','mammal');
$jsonB->UpdateBool('carnivore',false);

$jsonB->put_EmitCompact(false);
print $jsonB->emit() . "\n";

// 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"
//   ]
// }

$jsonA->AddObjectCopyAt(1,'info',$jsonB);

print $jsonA->emit() . "\n";

// The result is this:

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