/**
* Parse a string and return a non-NULL json_object if a valid JSON value
* is found. The string does not need to be a JSON object or array;
* it can also be a string, number or boolean value.
*
* A partial JSON string can be parsed. If the parsing is incomplete,
* NULL will be returned and json_tokener_get_error() will be return
* json_tokener_continue.
* json_tokener_parse_ex() can then be called with additional bytes in str
* to continue the parsing.
*
* If json_tokener_parse_ex() returns NULL and the error anything other than
* json_tokener_continue, a fatal error has occurred and parsing must be
* halted. Then tok object must not be re-used until json_tokener_reset() is
* called.
*
* When a valid JSON value is parsed, a non-NULL json_object will be
* returned. Also, json_tokener_get_error() will return json_tokener_success.
* Be sure to check the type with json_object_is_type() or
* json_object_get_type() before using the object.
*
* @b XXX this shouldn't use internal fields:
* Trailing characters after the parsed value do not automatically cause an
* error. It is up to the caller to decide whether to treat this as an
* error or to handle the additional characters, perhaps by parsing another
* json value starting from that point.
*
* Extra characters can be detected by comparing the tok->char_offset against
* the length of the last len parameter passed in.
*
* The tokener does \b not maintain an internal buffer so the caller is
* responsible for calling json_tokener_parse_ex with an appropriate str
* parameter starting with the extra characters.
*
* This interface is presently not 64-bit clean due to the int len argument
* so the function limits the maximum string size to INT32_MAX (2GB).
* If the function is called with len == -1 then strlen is called to check
* the string length is less than INT32_MAX (2GB)
*
* Example:
* @code
json_object *jobj = NULL;
const char *mystring = NULL;
int stringlen = 0;
enum json_tokener_error jerr;
do {
mystring = ... // get JSON string, e.g. read from file, etc...
stringlen = strlen(mystring);
jobj = json_tokener_parse_ex(tok, mystring, stringlen);
} while ((jerr = json_tokener_get_error(tok)) == json_tokener_continue);
if (jerr != json_tokener_success)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s\n", json_tokener_error_desc(jerr));
// Handle errors, as appropriate for your application.
}
if (tok->char_offset < stringlen) // XXX shouldn't access internal fields
{
// Handle extra characters after parsed object as desired.
// e.g. issue an error, parse another object from that point, etc...
}
// Success, use jobj here.
