How can append Json object directly?

Question

My json object is

var myjson={ "elements" :[{},{},.....]};

Now I want to add some more elements with out disturbing the existing elements.

and I dont want to get use the old elements. I mean dont like this approach

var elements=myjson.elements;
elements=elements.concat(newelementslist);

Is there any other approach like

myjson.elements.append(newelementlist);

Please give me a simple solution.

`Array.prototype.push.apply(myjson.elements, newelementlist)` should work. But the real question is, what is wrong with the `.concat` approach? Edit: of course, without `apply` you would get the `newelementlist` added as a single element, not a list of elements. That makes sense... — DCoder, Aug 09 '12 at 07:09

@xdazz In case of using concat I have to get the existing elements. It is not possible to me. I just want to append directly. — kirankumar, Aug 09 '12 at 07:44
Where's JSON in your code? All I see is raw JavaScript objects. If it's an object, it cannot be JSON, because JSON is a *string*. — Álvaro González, Aug 09 '12 at 08:37
