(PHP ActiveX) Insert JSON Object into another JSON Object

Demonstrates how to insert one JSON object into another. Effectively, the JSON object must be copied into the other..

<?php

// Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
$jsonA = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$jsonA->UpdateString('animal','zebra');
$jsonA->UpdateString('colors[0]','white');
$jsonA->UpdateString('colors[1]','black');

$jsonA->EmitCompact = 0;
print $jsonA->emit() . "\n";

// jsonA contains:

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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.JsonObject')
$jsonB = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$jsonB->UpdateString('type','mammal');
$jsonB->UpdateBool('carnivore',0);

$jsonB->EmitCompact = 0;
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"
//   ]
// }

// First add an empty object at the desired location:
$jsonA->AddObjectAt(1,'info');

// Get the JSON object at that location, and load the JSON..
// jsonInfo is a Chilkat.JsonObject
$jsonInfo = $jsonA->ObjectOf('info');
$jsonInfo->Load($jsonB->emit());

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

// The end result is this:

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