    //  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.
    CkJsonArray jsonUsersDest = new CkJsonArray();
    jsonA.AppendArray2("users",jsonUsersDest);

    CkJsonArray jsonUsersSrc = new CkJsonArray();
    jsonB.ArrayOf2("users",jsonUsersSrc);

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

    Log.i(TAG, jsonA.emit());

    //  The end result is this:

    //  {
    //    "ciphertext": "encryptedData",
    //    "status": 200,
    //    "error": "errorMsg",
    //    "users": [
    //      {
    //        "role": "Surgeon",
