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

# This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63 or greater.

$json = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$json.EmitCompact = $false

# The UpdateString method updates or adds a string member.
# It also auto-creates the objects and/or arrays that
# are missing.  For example:
$json.UpdateString("test.abc[0].xyz","Chicago Cubs")

# The JSON now contains:
$($json.Emit())

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

$json.UpdateString("test.abc[0].xyz","Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!")
$($json.Emit())

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