    ;       "eula_create_date": 1649108951523
    ;     }
    ;   ]
    ; }

    ; First add an empty array at the desired location (-1 means append to end).
    CkJsonObject::ckAddArrayAt(jsonA,-1,"users")

    ; The destination is the empty "users" array, the source is the populated "users" array in jsonB.
    jsonUsersDest.i = CkJsonObject::ckArrayOf(jsonA,"users")
    jsonUsersSrc.i = CkJsonObject::ckArrayOf(jsonB,"users")
    ; Copy the array items from source to dest
    CkJsonArray::ckAppendArrayItems(jsonUsersDest,jsonUsersSrc)
    CkJsonArray::ckDispose(jsonUsersDest)

    CkJsonArray::ckDispose(jsonUsersSrc)
