• Introduced in version 1.5.5

Usage

json.path.put(json, path, key, value)

Parameters

• json - The json element in which the JSON Object is nested.
• path - The path to the JSON Object.
• key - The key of the JSON Object.
• value - The value to associated with the key.

Examples

Suppose we have the following nested json:

[h:troll = json.set("{}", "name", "Troll", "HP", 75, "Attacks", json.append("Claw", "Bite"))]
[h:orc = json.set("{}", "name", "Orc", "HP", 13, "Attacks", json.append("Sword", "Punch"))]
[h:monsters = json.set("{}", "Troll", troll, "Orc", orc)]

To add a new "AC" value to the troll, we could write

[monsters = json.path.put(monsters, "Troll", "AC", "12")]
