How to override or set the json value at the root of the json object ?

[manmohantarle]

Hello @tidwall

I want to achieve the following use cases using sjson.SetRaw function
use case 1 :
initialJson := [] or ``(empty json)
inputJson := [1,2,3]

resultJson should be [1,2,3]

use case 2:
initialJson := {} or ``(empty json)
inputJson := {"test":[1,2,3],"test2":"testval"}

resultJson should be {"test":[1,2,3],"test2":"testval"}

what should be the path value to achieve this using the sjson.SetRaw function ?

Thanks in advance !

From the looks of the upstream library, I think you can use the path "@this" for the root. I'm trying to test that.

I had tried @this, but it does not work.

`package main

import "github.com/tidwall/sjson"

const json = {}

func main() {
value, _ := sjson.SetRaw(json, "@this", "{"test":true}")
println(value)
}`

outputs
{}
