Answer 1

You can init a new json object like this:

var jsonObj = {};
jsonObj.employees = [];
jsonObj.employees.push({"firstName":"Waqar", "lastName":"Alamgir"});

or add data in existance like this:

var jsonObj = {
    "employees":[
        {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"},
        {"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
        {"firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones"}
    ]
};

jsonObj.employees.push({"firstName":"Waqar", "lastName":"Alamgir"});

console.log(jsonObj);
