$success = $false

$arr = New-Object Chilkat.JsonArray

$obj = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject

# Create a new and empty JSON object in the 1st position of the JSON array 
# and return the reference in the last argument.
$arr.AddObjectAt2(0,$obj)
$obj.UpdateString("Name","Otto")
$obj.UpdateInt("Age",29)
$obj.UpdateBool("Married",$false)

# Create a new and empty JSON object in the 2nd position of the JSON array 
# and return the reference in the last argument.
$arr.AddObjectAt2(1,$obj)
$obj.UpdateString("Name","Connor")
$obj.UpdateInt("Age",43)
$obj.UpdateBool("Married",$true)

# Create a new and empty JSON object in the 3rd position of the JSON array 
# and return the reference in the last argument.
$arr.AddObjectAt2(2,$obj)
$obj.UpdateString("Name","Ramona")
$obj.UpdateInt("Age",34)
$obj.UpdateBool("Married",$true)

# Examine what we have:
$arr.EmitCompact = $false
$($arr.Emit())

# The output is:

# [
#   {
#     "Name": "Otto",
#     "Age": 29,
#     "Married": false
#   },
#   {
#     "Name": "Connor",
#     "Age": 43,
#     "Married": true
#   },
#   {
#     "Name": "Ramona",
#     "Age": 34,
