How can I replace an Array within a complicated JSON using Regex?

edit

It is generally not recommended to use regular expressions to manipulate complex JSON data, as regex is not designed to handle nested structures and can easily introduce errors. Instead, you should use a JSON parser and manipulate the data in a more structured way.

For example, in JavaScript, you can parse the JSON string into an object using JSON.parse, manipulate the data as needed, and then convert it back to a JSON string using JSON.stringify.

Here's an example of replacing an array within a JSON object using this approach:

const jsonString = '{ "foo": { "bar": ["aaa", "bbb", "ccc"] } }';

// Parse the JSON string into an object
const data = JSON.parse(jsonString);

// Replace the "bar" array with a new array
data.foo.bar = ["xxx", "yyy", "zzz"];

// Convert the object back to a JSON string
const newJsonString = JSON.stringify(data);

console.log(newJsonString);
// Output: {"foo":{"bar":["xxx","yyy","zzz"]}}

In this example, we first parse the JSON string into an object using JSON.parse. Then, we replace the "bar" array with a new array containing different values. Finally, we use JSON.stringify to convert the modified object back into a JSON string.
