SQL Server

--
CREATE PROCEDURE ChilkatSample
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @hr int
    DECLARE @sTmp0 nvarchar(4000)
    --  This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63 or greater.

    DECLARE @json int
    EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.JsonObject', @json OUT
    IF @hr <> 0
    BEGIN
        PRINT 'Failed to create ActiveX component'
        RETURN
    END

    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @json, 'EmitCompact', 0

    --  The UpdateString method updates or adds a string member.
    --  It also auto-creates the objects and/or arrays that
    --  are missing.  For example:
    DECLARE @success int
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @json, 'UpdateString', @success OUT, 'test.abc[0].xyz', 'Chicago Cubs'

    --  The JSON now contains:
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @json, 'Emit', @sTmp0 OUT
    PRINT @sTmp0

    --  {
    --    "test": {
    --      "abc": [
    --        {
    --          "xyz": "Chicago Cubs"
    --        }
    --      ]
    --    }

    EXEC sp_OAMethod @json, 'UpdateString', @success OUT, 'test.abc[0].xyz', 'Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!'
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @json, 'Emit', @sTmp0 OUT
    PRINT @sTmp0

    --  {
    --    "test": {
    --      "abc": [
    --        {
    --          "xyz": "Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!"
    --        }
    --      ]
    --    }
