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.. Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    // Imagine we have two separate JSON objects.
    CkJsonObject jsonA = new CkJsonObject();
    jsonA.UpdateString("animal","zebra");
    jsonA.UpdateString("colors[0]","white");
    jsonA.UpdateString("colors[1]","black");

    jsonA.put_EmitCompact(false);
    System.out.println(jsonA.emit());

    // jsonA contains:

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

    CkJsonObject jsonB = new CkJsonObject();
    jsonB.UpdateString("type","mammal");
    jsonB.UpdateBool("carnivore",false);

    jsonB.put_EmitCompact(false);
    System.out.println(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);

    System.out.println(jsonA.emit());

    // The result is this:

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