Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Assemblies

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-9.5.0-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$json = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$json.Load("{ `"name`": `"John`", `"marbles`": 100 }")

$json2 = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$json2.Load("{`"street`":`"1200 Elm St.`",`"city`":`"Springfield`",`"zip`":60606}")

# Copy the contents of json2 to a new member object named "addr".
$json.AppendObjectCopy("addr",$json2)

$($json.Emit())
# Expected output is:  {"name":"John","marbles":100,"addr":{"street":"1200 Elm St.","city":"Springfield","zip":60606}}

# Note: Modifying the contents of json does not modify the contents of json2 (because the contents of json2 were copied).
# For example:
$json.UpdateString("addr.street","1000 Oak St.")
$($json.Emit())
# Expected output is:  {"name":"John","marbles":100,"addr":{"street":"1000 Oak St.","city":"Springfield","zip":60606}}

$($json2.Emit())
# Expected output is: {"street":"1200 Elm St.","city":"Springfield","zip":60606}
