Insert JSON Array into another JSON Object

See more JSON Examples

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

// Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
let json_a = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = json_a.update_string("ciphertext", "encryptedData");
let _ = json_a.update_int("status", 200);
let _ = json_a.update_string("error", "errorMsg");

json_a.set_emit_compact(false);
println!("{}", json_a.emit().unwrap_or_default());

// jsonA contains:

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

let json_b = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
let _ = json_b.update_string("users[0].role", "Surgeon");
let _ = json_b.update_new_array("users[0].sub_roles");
let _ = json_b.update_bool("users[0].viewable_for_sharing", true);
let _ = json_b.update_int("users[0].eula_create_date", 123);
let _ = json_b.update_string("users[1].role", "Support");
let _ = json_b.update_string("users[1].sub_roles[0]", "Tech");
let _ = json_b.update_string("users[1].sub_roles[1]", "Service");
let _ = json_b.update_bool("users[1].viewable_for_sharing", true);
let _ = json_b.update_int("users[1].eula_create_date", 123);

json_b.set_emit_compact(false);
println!("{}", json_b.emit().unwrap_or_default());

// 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.
let json_users_dest = chilkat::JsonArray::new();
let _ = json_a.append_array2("users", &json_users_dest);

let json_users_src = chilkat::JsonArray::new();
let _ = json_b.array_of2("users", &json_users_src);

// Copy the array items from source to dest
let _ = json_users_dest.append_array_items(&json_users_src);

println!("{}", json_a.emit().unwrap_or_default());

// 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
//     }
//   ]
// }
