JSON AppendArrayCopy Example

Demonstrates the AppendArrayCopy function.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.82 or above.

Visual Basic 6.0

Dim json As New ChilkatJsonObject
success = json.Load("{ ""name"": ""John"", ""marbles"": 100 }")

Dim jarr As New ChilkatJsonArray
success = jarr.Load("[ 1, 2, 3, ""apple"", ""orange"", [ 10, 20, 30 ], { ""name"": ""Alfred""} ]")

' Copy the contents of jar to a new array member named "stuff".
success = json.AppendArrayCopy("stuff",jarr)

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

' 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:
success = jarr.AddIntAt(-1,2020)
Debug.Print jarr.Emit()
' Expected output: [1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Alfred"},2020]

Debug.Print json.Emit()
' Remains unchanged: {"name":"John","marbles":100,"stuff":[1,2,3,"apple","orange",[10,20,30],{"name":"Alfred"}]}
