Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Load JSON Data at Path

See more JSON Examples

Demonstrates how to load JSON data into a path within a JSON database. For example, we begin with this JSON:

{
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2,
  "c": {
    "x": 1,
    "y": 2
  }
}

Then we load {"mm": 11, "nn": 22} to "c", and the result is this JSON:

{
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2,
  "c": {
    "mm": 11,
    "nn": 22
  }
}

my $p = '{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": { "x": 1, "y": 2 } }';

my $json = Chilkat2::JsonObject->new;
$json->Load($p);
$json->EmitCompact(0);
print $json->Emit(), "\n";

my $q = '{"mm": 11, "nn": 22}';

my $c = Chilkat2::JsonObject->new;
$json->ObjectOf2('c', $c);
$c->Load($q);

# See that x and y are replaced with mm and nn.
print $json->Emit(), "\n";
