public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.63 or greater.

        JsonObject json = new JsonObject();
        json.setEmitCompact(false);

        // The UpdateString method updates or adds a string member.
        // It also auto-creates the objects and/or arrays that
        // are missing.  For example:
        json.updateString("test.abc[0].xyz", "Chicago Cubs");

        // The JSON now contains:
        System.out.println(json.emit());

        // {
        //   "test": {
        //     "abc": [
        //       {
        //         "xyz": "Chicago Cubs"
        //       }
        //     ]
        //   }

        json.updateString("test.abc[0].xyz", "Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!");
        System.out.println(json.emit());

        // {
        //   "test": {
        //     "abc": [
        //       {
        //         "xyz": "Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!"
        //       }
