Appending a key value pair to a json object

Question

This is the json object I am working with

{
    \"name\": \"John Smith\",
    \"age\": 32,
    \"employed\": true,
    \"address\": {
              


        

Answer 1

You need to make an object at reference "collegeId", and then for that object, make two more key value pairs there like this:

var concattedjson = JSON.parse(json1);
concattedjson["collegeId"] = {};
concattedjson["collegeId"]["eventno"] = "6062";
concattedjson["collegeId"]["eventdesc"] = "abc";

Assuming that concattedjson is your json object. If you only have a string representation you will need to parse it first before you extend it.

Edit

demo for those who think this will not work.
