My first JSON is:

{ "categoryId":"Painting", "subCategoryId":"Residential", "alternatives": [1,2,3,4,5], "criterias":["price","quantity","yom","company"], "answers":[["1000","12343","4543","","4645646"],["12","23","34","","45"],["2014","","2000","1990","2005"],["xyz","","Abc","jkl","mno"]]
} 

This will come from a java URL, here I am using PHP, in PHP I am calling a java URL.

My Second JSON is:

{"criterias":"Location"}

I am generating this using JQuery. How can I include the second JSON into the first JSON criterias?

The simplest way to include one file in another is to use cpp (C preprocessor).

For example, if I have test.json as

{"name":"NAME",
#include "another.json"
}

and another.json as

"inner":"value"

you should be able to obtain

$ cpp -P test.json
{"name":"NAME",
"inner":"value"
}

Of course, you will need to make sure that resulting syntax is correct by properly formatting both pieces.

I believe the original question is how to merge these 2 JSON objects within javascript. Assuming that, the answer is simple.

var firstJson = { "categoryId":"Painting", "subCategoryId":"Residential", "alternatives": [1,2,3,4,5], "criterias":["price","quantity","yom","company"], "answerss":[["1000","12343","4543","","4645646"],["12","23","34","","45"],["2014","","2000","1990","2005"],["xyz","","Abc","jkl","mno"]]
};
var secondJson = {"criterias":"Location"};
firstJson.criterias = $.extend({},firstJson.criterias,secondJson.criterias);

You need to convert your first JSON string to object and add a new property to it.

If it is Java, you can use Google's Gson library

Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonObject jsonObj = gson.fromJson (jsonStr, JsonElement.class).getAsJsonObject();
jsonObj.add("criterias", "Location");

If it is JavaScript,

var jObj = JSON.parse(jsonString);
jObj.criterias = "Location"; //jObj.NewItem = "NewValue";

Here is the example of how you write nested JSON

{"menu": { "id": "file", "value": "File", "popup": { "menuitem": [ {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"}, {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"}, {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"} ] } }}
