Insert JSON Object into another JSON Object

See more JSON Examples

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

func chilkatTest() {
    // Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
    let jsonA = CkoJsonObject()!
    jsonA.updateString(jsonPath: "animal", value: "zebra")
    jsonA.updateString(jsonPath: "colors[0]", value: "white")
    jsonA.updateString(jsonPath: "colors[1]", value: "black")

    jsonA.emitCompact = false
    print("\(jsonA.emit()!)")

    // jsonA contains:

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

    let jsonB = CkoJsonObject()!
    jsonB.updateString(jsonPath: "type", value: "mammal")
    jsonB.updateBool(jsonPath: "carnivore", value: false)

    jsonB.emitCompact = false
    print("\(jsonB.emit()!)")

    // 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"
    //   ]
    // }

    jsonA.addObjectCopy(at: 1, name: "info", jsonObj: jsonB)

    print("\(jsonA.emit()!)")

    // The result is this:

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