Insert JSON Array into another JSON Object

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to insert a JSON array into a JSON object. VB.NET

'  Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
Dim jsonA As New Chilkat.JsonObject
jsonA.UpdateString("ciphertext","encryptedData")
jsonA.UpdateInt("status",200)
jsonA.UpdateString("error","errorMsg")

jsonA.EmitCompact = False
Debug.WriteLine(jsonA.Emit())

'  jsonA contains:

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


Dim jsonB As New Chilkat.JsonObject
jsonB.UpdateString("users[0].role","Surgeon")
jsonB.UpdateNewArray("users[0].sub_roles")
jsonB.UpdateBool("users[0].viewable_for_sharing",True)
jsonB.UpdateInt("users[0].eula_create_date",123)
jsonB.UpdateString("users[1].role","Support")
jsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[0]","Tech")
jsonB.UpdateString("users[1].sub_roles[1]","Service")
jsonB.UpdateBool("users[1].viewable_for_sharing",True)
jsonB.UpdateInt("users[1].eula_create_date",123)

jsonB.EmitCompact = False
Debug.WriteLine(jsonB.Emit())

'  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.
Dim jsonUsersDest As New Chilkat.JsonArray
jsonA.AppendArray2("users",jsonUsersDest)

Dim jsonUsersSrc As New Chilkat.JsonArray
jsonB.ArrayOf2("users",jsonUsersSrc)

'  Copy the array items from source to dest
jsonUsersDest.AppendArrayItems(jsonUsersSrc)

Debug.WriteLine(jsonA.Emit())

'  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
