// This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or greater.

// Loading into a new JSON array is simple and straightforward.
Dim a As New Chilkat.JsonArray
Dim success As Boolean
success = a.Load("[ 1,2,3,4 ]")

// Output:  [1,2,3,4]
System.DebugLog(a.Emit())
System.DebugLog("--------")

// The JsonArray's Load and LoadSb methods have a peculiar behavior when
// it is already part of a JSON document.  In this case, the JsonArray
// becomes detached, and the original document remains unchanged.
// This is intentional due to the nature of the internal implementation.
// For example:

Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
success = json.Load("{ ""abc"": [ 1,2,3,4 ] }")

// Output:  (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
System.DebugLog("(json) " + json.Emit())
System.DebugLog("--------")

Dim abc As Chilkat.JsonArray
abc = json.ArrayOf("abc")
// When Load is called, abc becomes it's own document, and the original is not modified.
success = abc.Load("[ 5,6,7,8 ]")

// Output: (abc) [5,6,7,8]
System.DebugLog("(abc) " + abc.Emit())
System.DebugLog("--------")

// Output: (json) {"abc":[1,2,3,4]}
System.DebugLog("(json) " + json.Emit())
System.DebugLog("--------")
