I am am downloading a JSON string and then I parse it so it accessible as JSON. I then want to download another JSON string and combine this with the first JSON (add it to the end).

I have been trying all day but I cant get it to work. The second JSON always seems to overwrite the first one.

Thanks

You need a second JSON object, say tempJSON.

How you combine two jsons depends on their content.

For example, your main json contains books and the second json contains colors. Then you can do this:
-> tempJSON: Parse JSON string AJAX.LastData -> booksJSON: Set "colors" to new object -> booksJSON: Set "colors" to JSON tempJSON.GetAsCompactString("colors")

The last action is "Set JSON".

If both jsons are arrays, then you might need to iterate tempJSON and copy array elements one by one.
