import chilkat2

json = chilkat2.JsonObject()
json.Load("{ \"name\": \"John\", \"marbles\": 100 }")

jarr = chilkat2.JsonArray()
jarr.Load("[ 1, 2, 3, \"apple\", \"orange\", [ 10, 20, 30 ], { \"name\": \"Luther\"} ]")

# Copy the contents of jar to a new array member named "stuff".
# Insert the array at the 2nd position
json.AddArrayCopyAt(1,"stuff",jarr)

print(json.Emit())
# Expected output is:  {"name":"John","stuff":[1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Luther"}],"marbles":100}

# Note: The contents of the array were copied.
# If we modify the contents of jarr, it does not modify the array contained within "json" because it is a separate copy.
# For example:
jarr.AddIntAt(-1,2020)
print(jarr.Emit())
# Expected output: [1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Luther"},2020]

print(json.Emit())
# Remains unchanged: {"name":"John","stuff":[1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Luther"}],"marbles":100}
