(Unicode C) Modify Parts of JSON Document

Demonstrates how to modify parts of a JSON document. This example uses the following JSON document:

{
   "fruit": [
      	{
         "kind": "apple",
	 "count": 24,
	 "fresh": true,
	 "extraInfo": null,
	 "listA": [ "abc", 1, null, false ],
	 "objectB": { "animal" : "monkey" }
      	},
	{
         "kind": "pear",
	 "count": 18,
	 "fresh": false,
	 "extraInfo": null
	 "listA": [ "xyz", 24, null, true ],
	 "objectB": { "animal" : "lemur" }
	}
    ],
    "list" : [ "banana", 12, true, null, "orange", 12.5, { "ticker": "AAPL" }, [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] ],
    "alien" : true
}

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
