Writing JSON objects from one JSON structure to another

I am looking into trying to read through one set of JSON data and write
certain objects/trees to a new JSON file.

Example:
yajl_genOpen(*OFF);
yajl_beginObj(); //main JSON object
yajl_beginArray('newList');

// load the old JSON data from a stream file
docNode = yajl_stmf_load_tree(jsonFile);

//find the array "list"
myList = YAJL_object_find(docNode: 'list');

i = 0;

dow YAJL_ARRAY_LOOP(myList:i:node );
yajl_beginObj();

//****write the contents of the "node" array object to the new JSON
buffer*****
yajl_endObj();
enddo;

yajl_tree_free(docNode);

yajl_endArray(); //newList
yajl_endObj(); //main JSON object
yajl_genClose();


I have tried:

yajl_addChar(yajl_stringifyStr(node));

But that stringifies and "escapes" the old JSON data. So what I'm looking
for is something like:

yajl_addNode(node);

Where it will take a node loaded from another JSON object and add it
directly to the new JSON buffer. Not sure if that's possible. Just want
to make sure there isn't something already out there that may do this
before I try digging into making a solution.

Thanks!
