# This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

# Loading into a new JSON array is simple and straightforward.
$a = New-Object Chilkat.JsonArray
$a.Load("[ 1,2,3,4 ]")

# Output:  [1,2,3,4]
$($a.Emit())
$("--------")

# The JsonArray's Load and LoadSb methods have a peculiar behavior when
# it is already part of a JSON document.  In this case, the JsonArray
# becomes detached, and the original document remains unchanged.
# This is intentional due to the nature of the internal implementation.
# For example:

$json = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$json.Load("{ `"abc`": [ 1,2,3,4 ] }")

# Output:  (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
$("(json) " + $json.Emit())
$("--------")

$abc = $json.ArrayOf("abc")
# When Load is called, abc becomes it's own document, and the original is not modified.
$abc.Load("[ 5,6,7,8 ]")

# Output: (abc) [5,6,7,8]
$("(abc) " + $abc.Emit())
$("--------")

# Output: (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
$("(json) " + $json.Emit())
$("--------")
