# 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:
print $json->Emit(), "\n";

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

$json->UpdateString('test.abc[0].xyz', 'Chicago Cubs are going to win the World Series!');
print $json->Emit(), "\n";

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