(Ruby) Insert JSON Object into another JSON Object

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

# Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
jsonA = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
jsonA.UpdateString("animal","zebra")
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[0]","white")
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[1]","black")

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

# jsonA contains:

# {
#   "animal": "zebra",
#   "colors": [
#     "white",
#     "black"
#   ]
# }

jsonB = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
jsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal")
jsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",false)

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

# 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"
#   ]
# }

# First add an empty object at the desired location:
jsonA.AddObjectAt(1,"info")

# Get the JSON object at that location, and load the JSON..
# jsonInfo is a CkJsonObject
jsonInfo = jsonA.ObjectOf("info")
jsonInfo.Load(jsonB.emit())

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

# The end result is this:

# {
#   "animal": "zebra",
#   "info": {
#     "type": "mammal",
#     "carnivore": false
#   },
#   "colors": [
#     "white",
#     "black"
#   ]
# }
