9. How to insert a document node into another document?
Let's take the following two DOM trees represented as JSON documents:
```
Document person;
person.Parse("{\"person\":{\"name\":{\"first\":\"Adam\",\"last\":\"Thomas\"}}}");
Document address;
address.Parse("{\"address\":{\"city\":\"Moscow\",\"street\":\"Quiet\"}}");
```
Let's assume we want to merge them in such way that the whole `address` document becomes a node of the `person`:
```
{ "person": {
"name": { "first": "Adam", "last": "Thomas" },
"address": { "city": "Moscow", "street": "Quiet" }
}
}
```
The most important requirement to take care of document and value life-cycle as well as consistent memory managent using the right allocator during the value transfer.
Simple yet most efficient way to achieve that is to modify the `address` definition above to initialize it with allocator of the `person` document, then we just add the root nenber of the value:
```
Documnet address(person.GetAllocator());
...
person["person"].AddMember("address", address["address"], person.GetAllocator());
```
Alternatively, if we don't want to explicitly refer to the root value of `address` by name, we can refer to it via iterator:
```
auto addressRoot = address.MemberBegin();
person["person"].AddMember(addressRoot->name, addressRoot->value, person.GetAllocator());
```
Second way is to deep-clone the value from the address document:
```
Value addressValue = Value(address["address"], person.GetAllocator());
person["person"].AddMember("address", addressValue, person.GetAllocator());
```
