(PowerShell) 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..

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

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

# Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
$jsonA = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$jsonA.UpdateString("animal","zebra")
$jsonA.UpdateString("colors[0]","white")
$jsonA.UpdateString("colors[1]","black")

$jsonA.EmitCompact = $false
$($jsonA.Emit())

# jsonA contains:

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

$jsonB = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$jsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal")
$jsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",$false)

$jsonB.EmitCompact = $false
$($jsonB.Emit())

# 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)

$($jsonA.Emit())

# The result is this:

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