json_merge: Merge two JSON objects

In mgirlich/jsontools: Working with JSON Vectors

Merge two JSON objects

Description

By merging two objects you can add, modify, or remove elements of an object. Arrays cannot be modified but only replaced as a whole. It is mostly a small wrapper around the SQLite function json_patch().

Usage

json_merge(x, y)

Arguments

x	A JSON vector to update.
y	A JSON vector with updated values.

Value

A json2 vector.

Examples

# update element with key "a"
json_merge('{"a": 1, "c": 3}', '{"a": 11}')

# you can also add elements
json_merge('{"a": 1, "c": 3}', '{"b": 2}')

# remove elements with `null`
json_merge('{"a": 1, "c": 3}', '{"c": null}')
