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

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