You didn't mentioned, which scripting language you are supporting. Without it anybody would be handicapped to answer. — Shashank

I suppose you have function named as person and you are sending a object in that function So to put it simple.

            var obj={"name":"Ajay",
                     "age":"21"
              };
             person(obj);

If you want to add more properties to your obj. You can do it like this:

       obj.sex="Male";
       obj.height="6";
       person(obj);

how did you know that the scripting language is JavaScript?

In a a json Obj you add prop. like this only . So i just guessed it .

Better to consult/clarify the author before assuming anything, otherwise there is an ocean to assume anything.

In any case the format of JSON will not change right :)
