PowerBuilder

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Json

// This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63 or greater.

loo_Json = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Json.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.JsonObject")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Json
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if
loo_Json.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:
loo_Json.UpdateString("test.abc[0].xyz","Chicago Cubs")

// The JSON now contains:
Write-Debug loo_Json.Emit()

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

loo_Json.UpdateString("test.abc[0].xyz","Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!")
Write-Debug loo_Json.Emit()

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