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.. VB.NET

' Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
Dim jsonA As New Chilkat.JsonObject
jsonA.UpdateString("animal","zebra")
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[0]","white")
jsonA.UpdateString("colors[1]","black")

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

' jsonA contains:

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


Dim jsonB As New Chilkat.JsonObject
jsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal")
jsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",False)

jsonB.EmitCompact = False
Debug.WriteLine(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.AddObjectCopyAt(1,"info",jsonB)

Debug.WriteLine(jsonA.Emit())

' The result is this:

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