Insert JSON Object into another JSON Object

See more JSON Examples

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

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"
#   ]
# }
