Object value the value of the child node to add

Example

// Given a JSON message like:
message = qie.createJSONMessage(
    JSON.stringify(
        {
            "name": "David",
            "age": 44
        }
    )
);

// Add an object-valued child node immediately AFTER the node at nodePath
message.addJSONObjectAfter(
    "/name",                            // nodePath to insert after
    "children",                         // name of the child node
    `[
        { "name": "Kacie" },
        { "name": "Jaime" }
    ]`                                  // object value
);

// Resulting JSON:
// {
//   "name": "David",
//   "children": [
//       { "name": "Kacie" },
//       { "name": "Jaime" }
