+  JAX implementation of :func:`numpy.insert`.
+
+  Args:
+    arr: array object into which values will be inserted.
+    obj: slice or array of indices specifying insertion locations.
+    values: array of values to be inserted.
+    axis: specify the insertion axis in the case of multi-dimensional

+  Returns:
+    A copy of ``arr`` with values inserted at the specified locations.

+  Examples:
+    Inserting a single value:
+
+    >>> x = jnp.arange(5)
+    >>> jnp.insert(x, 2, 99)
+    Array([ 0,  1, 99,  2,  3,  4], dtype=int32)
