Demonstrates how to insert a JSON array into a JSON object. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

#  Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
jsonA = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
jsonA.UpdateString("ciphertext","encryptedData")
jsonA.UpdateInt("status",200)
jsonA.UpdateString("error","errorMsg")

jsonA.put_EmitCompact(false)
print jsonA.emit() + "\n";

#  jsonA contains:

#  {
#    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
#    "status": 200,
#    "error": "errorMsg"
#  }

jsonB = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
jsonB.UpdateString("users[0].role","Surgeon")
jsonB.UpdateNewArray("users[0].sub_roles")
jsonB.UpdateBool("users[0].viewable_for_sharing",true)
jsonB.UpdateInt("users[0].eula_create_date",123)
jsonB.UpdateString("users[1].role","Support")
jsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[0]","Tech")
jsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[1]","Service")
jsonB.UpdateBool("users[1].viewable_for_sharing",true)
jsonB.UpdateInt("users[1].eula_create_date",123)

jsonB.put_EmitCompact(false)
print jsonB.emit() + "\n";

#  jsonB contains:

#  {
#    "users": [
#      {
#        "role": "Surgeon",
#        "sub_roles": [],
#        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
#        "eula_create_date": 1649108922482
#      },
#      {
#        "role": "Support",
#        "sub_roles": [
#          "Tech",
#          "Service"
#        ],
#        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
#        "eula_create_date": 1649108951523
#      }
#    ]
#  }

#  Let's say we want to insert jsonB into jsonA to get this:

#  {
#    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
#    "status": 200,
#    "error": "errorMsg",
#    "users": [
#      {
#        "role": "Surgeon",
#        "sub_roles": [],
#        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
#        "eula_create_date": 1649108922482
#      },
#      {
#        "role": "Support",
#        "sub_roles": [
#          "Tech",
#          "Service"
#        ],
#        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
#        "eula_create_date": 1649108951523
#      }
#    ]
#  }

#  The destination is the empty "users" array, the source is the populated "users" array in jsonB.
jsonUsersDest = Chilkat::CkJsonArray.new()
jsonA.AppendArray2("users",jsonUsersDest)

jsonUsersSrc = Chilkat::CkJsonArray.new()
jsonB.ArrayOf2("users",jsonUsersSrc)

#  Copy the array items from source to dest
jsonUsersDest.AppendArrayItems(jsonUsersSrc)

print jsonA.emit() + "\n";

#  The end result is this:

#  {
#    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
#    "status": 200,
#    "error": "errorMsg",
#    "users": [
#      {
#        "role": "Surgeon",
#        "sub_roles": [
#        ],
#        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
#        "eula_create_date": 123
#      },
#      {
#        "role": "Support",
#        "sub_roles": [
#          "Tech",
#          "Service"
#        ],
#        "viewable_for_sharing": true,
#        "eula_create_date": 123
#      }
#    ]
#  }
