I wrote this for a project at work where I had to build out JSON payloads for HTTP transmission. It was heavily inspired by the likes of lodash.set, and iterates over a series of paths and setting values of particular types within that path.

This was designed to work with a user interface that let developers and admins set up the payload piece by piece.
