Jansson is used in production and its API is stable. It works on
|
|
29 |
numerous platforms, including numerous Unix like systems and Windows.
|
|
30 |
It\(aqs suitable for use on any system, including desktop, server, and
|
|

The source uses GNU Autotools (\fI\%autoconf\fP, \fI\%automake\fP, \fI\%libtool\fP), so
|
|
54 |
compiling and installing is extremely simple:

To change the destination directory (\fB/usr/local\fP by default), use
|
|
70 |
the \fB\-\-prefix=DIR\fP argument to \fB\&./configure\fP\&. See \fB\&./configure
|
|
71 |
\-\-help\fP for the list of all possible installation options. (There are
|
|
72 |
no options to customize the resulting Jansson binary.)
|
|
73 |
.sp
|
|
74 |
The command \fBmake check\fP runs the test suite distributed with
|
|
75 |
Jansson. This step is not strictly necessary, but it may find possible
|
|
76 |
problems that Jansson has on your platform. If any problems are found,
|
|
77 |
please report them.

If you obtained the source from a Git repository (or any other source
|
|
80 |
control system), there\(aqs no \fB\&./configure\fP script as it\(aqs not kept in
|
|
81 |
version control. To create the script, the build system needs to be
|
|
82 |
bootstrapped. There are many ways to do this, but the easiest one is
|
|
83 |
to use \fBautoreconf\fP:

|
96 |
used as described above.

Jansson can be built using \fI\%CMake\fP\&. Create a build directory for an
|
|
100 |
out\-of\-tree build, change to that directory, and run \fBcmake\fP (or \fBccmake\fP,
|
|
101 |
\fBcmake\-gui\fP, or similar) to configure the project.
|
|

109 |
This is simply the path to the jansson project root directory.

In the example it is assumed you\(aqve created a sub\-directory \fBbuild\fP

This chapter lists the backwards incompatible changes introduced in

345 |
Jansson 2.0, and the steps that are needed for upgrading your code.
|
|
346 |
.sp
|
|
347 |
\fBThe incompatibilities are not dramatic.\fP The biggest change is that
|
|
348 |
all decoding functions now require and extra parameter. Most programs
|
|
349 |
can be modified to work with 2.0 by adding a \fB0\fP as the second
|
|
350 |
parameter to all calls of \fBjson_loads()\fP, \fBjson_loadf()\fP
|
|
351 |
and \fBjson_load_file()\fP\&.

352 |
.SS Compatibility
|
|
353 |
.sp
|
|
354 |
Jansson 2.0 is backwards incompatible with the Jansson 1.x releases.
|
|
355 |
It is ABI incompatible, i.e. all programs dynamically linking to the
|
|
356 |
Jansson library need to be recompiled. It\(aqs also API incompatible,
|
|
357 |
i.e. the source code of programs using Jansson 1.x may need
|
|
358 |
modifications to make them compile against Jansson 2.0.
|
|
359 |
.sp
|
|
360 |
All the 2.x releases are guaranteed to be backwards compatible for
|
|
361 |
both ABI and API, so no recompilation or source changes are needed
|
|
362 |
when upgrading from 2.x to 2.y.

parameter to all decoding functions, i.e. \fBjson_loads()\fP,
|
|
369 |
\fBjson_loadf()\fP and \fBjson_load_file()\fP\&. All calls to
|
|
370 |
these functions need to be changed by adding a \fB0\fP as the second

.B \fBUnderlying type of JSON integers\fP
|
|
388 |
The underlying C type of JSON integers has been changed from
|
|
389 |
\fBint\fP to the widest available signed integer type, i.e.
|
|
390 |
\fBlong long\fP or \fBlong\fP, depending on whether
|
|
391 |
\fBlong long\fP is supported on your system or not. This makes
|
|
392 |
the whole 64\-bit integer range available on most modern systems.
|
|
393 |
.sp
|
|
394 |
\fBjansson.h\fP has a typedef \fBjson_int_t\fP to the underlying
|
|
395 |
integer type. \fBint\fP should still be used in most cases when
|
|
396 |
dealing with smallish JSON integers, as the compiler handles
|
|
397 |
implicit type coercion. Only when the full 64\-bit range is needed,
|
|
398 |
\fBjson_int_t\fP should be explicitly used.

.B \fBMaximum encoder indentation depth\fP
|
|
401 |
The maximum argument of the \fBJSON_INDENT()\fP macro has been
|
|
402 |
changed from 255 to 31, to free up bits from the \fBflags\fP
|
|
403 |
parameter of \fBjson_dumps()\fP, \fBjson_dumpf()\fP and
|
|
404 |
\fBjson_dump_file()\fP\&. If your code uses a bigger indentation
|
|
405 |
than 31, it needs to be changed.

.B \fBUnsigned integers in API functions\fP
|
|
408 |
Version 2.0 unifies unsigned integer usage in the API. All uses of
|
|
409 |
\fBunsigned int\fP and \fBunsigned long\fP have been replaced
|
|
410 |
with \fBsize_t\fP\&. This includes flags, container sizes, etc.
|
|
411 |
This should not require source code changes, as both
|
|
412 |
\fBunsigned int\fP and \fBunsigned long\fP are usually
|
|
413 |
compatible with \fBsize_t\fP\&.

In this tutorial, we create a program that fetches the latest commits
|
|
418 |
of a repository in \fI\%GitHub\fP over the web. \fI\%GitHub API\fP uses JSON, so
|
|
419 |
the result can be parsed using Jansson.

420 |
.sp
|

421 |
To stick to the the scope of this tutorial, we will only cover the the

parts of the program related to handling JSON data. For the best user
|
|
423 |
experience, the full source code is available:
|
|
424 |
\fBgithub_commits.c\fP\&. To compile it (on Unix\-like systems with

|
|
646 |
returns \fINULL\fP and sets error information to the \fBjson_error_t\fP
|
|
647 |
structure given as the second parameter. In this case, our program
|
|
648 |
prints the error information out and returns 1 from the main function.
|
|
649 |

Now we\(aqre ready to extract the data out of the decoded JSON response.

.SS Conclusion
|
|
801 |
.sp
|
|
802 |
In this tutorial, we implemented a program that fetches the latest
|
|
803 |
commits of a GitHub repository using the GitHub Repo Commits API.
|
|
804 |
Jansson was used to decode the JSON response and to extract the commit
|
|
805 |
data.
|
|
806 |
.sp
|
|
807 |
This tutorial only covered a small part of Jansson. For example, we
|
|
808 |
did not create or manipulate JSON values at all. Proceed to
|
|
809 |
\fIapiref\fP to explore all features of Jansson.
|
|
810 |
.SS RFC Conformance
|
|
811 |
.sp
|
|
812 |
JSON is specified in \fI\%RFC 4627\fP, \fI"The application/json Media Type
|
|
813 |
for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)"\fP\&.
|
|
814 |
.SS Character Encoding
|
|
815 |
.sp
|
|
816 |
Jansson only supports UTF\-8 encoded JSON texts. It does not support or
|
|
817 |
auto\-detect any of the other encodings mentioned in the RFC, namely
|
|
818 |
UTF\-16LE, UTF\-16BE, UTF\-32LE or UTF\-32BE. Pure ASCII is supported, as
|
|
819 |
it\(aqs a subset of UTF\-8.
|
|
820 |
.SS Strings
|
|
821 |
.sp
|
|
822 |
JSON strings are mapped to C\-style null\-terminated character arrays,
|
|
823 |
and UTF\-8 encoding is used internally.
|
|
824 |
.sp
|
|
825 |
All Unicode codepoints U+0000 through U+10FFFF are allowed in string
|
|
826 |
values. However, U+0000 is not allowed in object keys because of API
|
|
827 |
restrictions.
|
|
828 |
.sp
|
|
829 |
Unicode normalization or any other transformation is never performed
|
|
830 |
on any strings (string values or object keys). When checking for
|
|
831 |
equivalence of strings or object keys, the comparison is performed
|
|
832 |
byte by byte between the original UTF\-8 representations of the
|
|
833 |
strings.
|
|
834 |
.SS Numbers
|
|
835 |
.SS Real vs. Integer
|
|
836 |
.sp
|
|
837 |
JSON makes no distinction between real and integer numbers; Jansson
|
|
838 |
does. Real numbers are mapped to the \fBdouble\fP type and integers to
|
|
839 |
the \fBjson_int_t\fP type, which is a typedef of \fBlong long\fP or
|
|
840 |
\fBlong\fP, depending on whether \fBlong long\fP is supported by your
|
|
841 |
compiler or not.
|
|
842 |
.sp
|
|
843 |
A JSON number is considered to be a real number if its lexical
|
|
844 |
representation includes one of \fBe\fP, \fBE\fP, or \fB\&.\fP; regardless if
|
|
845 |
its actual numeric value is a true integer (e.g., all of \fB1E6\fP,
|
|
846 |
\fB3.0\fP, \fB400E\-2\fP, and \fB3.14E3\fP are mathematical integers, but
|
|
847 |
will be treated as real values). With the \fBJSON_DECODE_INT_AS_REAL\fP
|
|
848 |
decoder flag set all numbers are interpreted as real.
|
|
849 |
.sp
|
|
850 |
All other JSON numbers are considered integers.
|
|
851 |
.sp
|
|
852 |
When encoding to JSON, real values are always represented
|
|
853 |
with a fractional part; e.g., the \fBdouble\fP value 3.0 will be
|
|
854 |
represented in JSON as \fB3.0\fP, not \fB3\fP\&.
|
|
855 |
.SS Overflow, Underflow & Precision
|
|
856 |
.sp
|
|
857 |
Real numbers whose absolute values are too small to be represented in
|
|
858 |
a C \fBdouble\fP will be silently estimated with 0.0. Thus, depending on
|
|
859 |
platform, JSON numbers very close to zero such as 1E\-999 may result in
|
|
860 |
0.0.
|
|
861 |
.sp
|
|
862 |
Real numbers whose absolute values are too large to be represented in
|
|
863 |
a C \fBdouble\fP will result in an overflow error (a JSON decoding
|
|
864 |
error). Thus, depending on platform, JSON numbers like 1E+999 or
|
|
865 |
\-1E+999 may result in a parsing error.
|
|
866 |
.sp
|
|
867 |
Likewise, integer numbers whose absolute values are too large to be
|
|
868 |
represented in the \fBjson_int_t\fP type (see above) will result in an
|
|
869 |
overflow error (a JSON decoding error). Thus, depending on platform,
|
|
870 |
JSON numbers like 1000000000000000 may result in parsing error.
|
|
871 |
.sp
|
|
872 |
Parsing JSON real numbers may result in a loss of precision. As long
|
|
873 |
as overflow does not occur (i.e. a total loss of precision), the
|
|
874 |
rounded approximate value is silently used. Thus the JSON number
|
|
875 |
1.000000000000000005 may, depending on platform, result in the
|
|
876 |
\fBdouble\fP value 1.0.
|
|
877 |
.SS Signed zeros
|
|
878 |
.sp
|
|
879 |
JSON makes no statement about what a number means; however Javascript
|
|
880 |
(ECMAscript) does state that +0.0 and \-0.0 must be treated as being
|
|
881 |
distinct values, i.e. \-0.0 ≠0.0. Jansson relies on the
|
|
882 |
underlying floating point library in the C environment in which it is
|
|
883 |
compiled. Therefore it is platform\-dependent whether 0.0 and \-0.0 will
|
|
884 |
be distinct values. Most platforms that use the IEEE 754
|
|
885 |
floating\-point standard will support signed zeros.
|
|
886 |
.sp
|
|
887 |
Note that this only applies to floating\-point; neither JSON, C, or
|
|
888 |
IEEE support the concept of signed integer zeros.
|
|
889 |
.SS Types
|
|
890 |
.sp
|
|
891 |
No support is provided in Jansson for any C numeric types other than
|
|
892 |
\fBjson_int_t\fP and \fBdouble\fP\&. This excludes things such as unsigned
|
|
893 |
types, \fBlong double\fP, etc. Obviously, shorter types like \fBshort\fP,
|
|
894 |
\fBint\fP, \fBlong\fP (if \fBjson_int_t\fP is \fBlong long\fP) and \fBfloat\fP
|
|
895 |
are implicitly handled via the ordinary C type coercion rules (subject
|
|
896 |
to overflow semantics). Also, no support or hooks are provided for any
|
|
897 |
supplemental "bignum" type add\-on packages.
|
|
898 |
.SS Portability
|
|
899 |
.SS Thread safety
|
|
900 |
.sp
|
|
901 |
Jansson is thread safe and has no mutable global state. The only
|
|
902 |
exceptions are the hash function seed and memory allocation functions,
|
|
903 |
see below.
|
|
904 |
.sp
|
|
905 |
There\(aqs no locking performed inside Jansson\(aqs code, so a multithreaded
|
|
906 |
program must perform its own locking if JSON values are shared by
|
|
907 |
multiple threads. Jansson\(aqs reference counting semantics may make this
|
|
908 |
a bit harder than it seems, as it\(aqs possible to have a reference to a
|
|
909 |
value that\(aqs also stored inside a list or object. Modifying the
|
|
910 |
container (adding or removing values) may trigger concurrent access to
|
|
911 |
such values, as containers manage the reference count of their
|
|
912 |
contained values. Bugs involving concurrent incrementing or
|
|
913 |
decrementing of deference counts may be hard to track.
|
|
914 |
.sp
|
|
915 |
The encoding functions (\fBjson_dumps()\fP and friends) track
|
|
916 |
reference loops by modifying the internal state of objects and arrays.
|
|
917 |
For this reason, encoding functions must not be run on the same JSON
|
|
918 |
values in two separate threads at the same time. As already noted
|
|
919 |
above, be especially careful if two arrays or objects share their
|
|
920 |
contained values with another array or object.
|
|
921 |
.sp
|
|
922 |
If you want to make sure that two JSON value hierarchies do not
|
|
923 |
contain shared values, use \fBjson_deep_copy()\fP to make copies.
|
|
924 |
.SS Hash function seed
|
|
925 |
.sp
|
|
926 |
To prevent an attacker from intentionally causing large JSON objects
|
|
927 |
with specially crafted keys to perform very slow, the hash function
|
|
928 |
used by Jansson is randomized using a seed value. The seed is
|
|
929 |
automatically generated on the first explicit or implicit call to
|
|
930 |
\fBjson_object()\fP, if \fBjson_object_seed()\fP has not been
|
|
931 |
called beforehand.
|
|
932 |
.sp
|
|
933 |
The seed is generated by using operating system\(aqs entropy sources if
|
|
934 |
they are available (\fB/dev/urandom\fP, \fBCryptGenRandom()\fP). The
|
|
935 |
initialization is done in as thread safe manner as possible, by using
|
|
936 |
architecture specific lockless operations if provided by the platform
|
|
937 |
or the compiler.
|
|
938 |
.sp
|
|
939 |
If you\(aqre using threads, it\(aqs recommended to autoseed the hashtable
|
|
940 |
explicitly before spawning any threads by calling
|
|
941 |
\fBjson_object_seed(0)\fP , especially if you\(aqre unsure whether the
|
|
942 |
initialization is thread safe on your platform.
|
|
943 |
.SS Memory allocation functions
|
|
944 |
.sp
|
|
945 |
Memory allocation functions should be set at most once, and only on
|
|
946 |
program startup. See \fIapiref\-custom\-memory\-allocation\fP\&.
|
|
947 |
.SS Locale
|
|
948 |
.sp
|
|
949 |
Jansson works fine under any locale.
|
|
950 |
.sp
|
|
951 |
However, if the host program is multithreaded and uses \fBsetlocale()\fP
|
|
952 |
to switch the locale in one thread while Jansson is currently encoding
|
|
953 |
or decoding JSON data in another thread, the result may be wrong or
|
|
954 |
the program may even crash.
|
|
955 |
.sp
|
|
956 |
Jansson uses locale specific functions for certain string conversions
|
|
957 |
in the encoder and decoder, and then converts the locale specific
|
|
958 |
values to/from the JSON representation. This fails if the locale
|
|
959 |
changes between the string conversion and the locale\-to\-JSON
|
|
960 |
conversion. This can only happen in multithreaded programs that use
|
|
961 |
\fBsetlocale()\fP, because \fBsetlocale()\fP switches the locale for all
|
|
962 |
running threads, not only the thread that calls \fBsetlocale()\fP\&.
|
|
963 |
.sp
|
|
964 |
If your program uses \fBsetlocale()\fP as described above, consider
|
|
965 |
using the thread\-safe \fBuselocale()\fP instead.

.SS Library Version
|

988 |
.sp
|
|
989 |
The Jansson version is of the form \fIA.B.C\fP, where \fIA\fP is the major
|
|
990 |
version, \fIB\fP is the minor version and \fIC\fP is the micro version. If the
|
|
991 |
micro version is zero, it\(aqs omitted from the version string, i.e. the

992 |
version string is just \fIA.B\fP\&.
|
|
993 |
.sp
|
|
994 |
When a new release only fixes bugs and doesn\(aqt add new features or
|
|
995 |
functionality, the micro version is incremented. When new features are
|
|
996 |
added in a backwards compatible way, the minor version is incremented
|
|
997 |
and the micro version is set to zero. When there are backwards
|
|
998 |
incompatible changes, the major version is incremented and others are
|
|
999 |
set to zero.

.SS Value Representation
|
|
1031 |
.sp
|
|
1032 |
The JSON specification (\fI\%RFC 4627\fP) defines the following data types:
|
|
1033 |
\fIobject\fP, \fIarray\fP, \fIstring\fP, \fInumber\fP, \fIboolean\fP, and \fInull\fP\&. JSON
|
|
1034 |
types are used dynamically; arrays and objects can hold any other data
|
|
1035 |
type, including themselves. For this reason, Jansson\(aqs type system is
|
|
1036 |
also dynamic in nature. There\(aqs one C type to represent all JSON
|
|
1037 |
values, and this structure knows the type of the JSON value it holds.
|
|
1038 |
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
1039 |
.TP
|
|
1040 |
.B json_t
|
|
1041 |
This data structure is used throughout the library to represent all
|
|
1042 |
JSON values. It always contains the type of the JSON value it holds
|
|
1043 |
and the value\(aqs reference count. The rest depends on the type of the
|
|
1044 |
value.
|
|
1045 |
.UNINDENT
|
|
1046 |
.sp
|
|
1047 |
Objects of \fBjson_t\fP are always used through a pointer. There
|
|
1048 |
are APIs for querying the type, manipulating the reference count, and
|
|
1049 |
for constructing and manipulating values of different types.
|
|
1050 |
.sp
|
|
1051 |
Unless noted otherwise, all API functions return an error value if an
|
|
1052 |
error occurs. Depending on the function\(aqs signature, the error value
|
|
1053 |
is either \fINULL\fP or \-1. Invalid arguments or invalid input are
|
|
1054 |
apparent sources for errors. Memory allocation and I/O operations may
|
|
1055 |
also cause errors.

.SS Reference Count
|
|
1158 |
.sp
|
|
1159 |
The reference count is used to track whether a value is still in use
|
|
1160 |
or not. When a value is created, it\(aqs reference count is set to 1. If
|
|
1161 |
a reference to a value is kept (e.g. a value is stored somewhere for
|
|
1162 |
later use), its reference count is incremented, and when the value is
|
|
1163 |
no longer needed, the reference count is decremented. When the
|
|
1164 |
reference count drops to zero, there are no references left, and the
|
|
1165 |
value can be destroyed.
|
|
1166 |
.sp
|
|
1167 |
The following functions are used to manipulate the reference count.

.B void json_decref(json_t\fI\ *json\fP)
|
|
1177 |
Decrement the reference count of \fIjson\fP\&. As soon as a call to
|
|
1178 |
\fBjson_decref()\fP drops the reference count to zero, the value
|
|
1179 |
is destroyed and it can no longer be used.
|
|
1180 |
.UNINDENT
|
|
1181 |
.sp
|
|
1182 |
Functions creating new JSON values set the reference count to 1. These
|
|
1183 |
functions are said to return a \fBnew reference\fP\&. Other functions
|
|
1184 |
returning (existing) JSON values do not normally increase the
|
|
1185 |
reference count. These functions are said to return a \fBborrowed
|
|
1186 |
reference\fP\&. So, if the user will hold a reference to a value returned
|
|
1187 |
as a borrowed reference, he must call \fBjson_incref()\fP\&. As soon as
|
|
1188 |
the value is no longer needed, \fBjson_decref()\fP should be called
|
|
1189 |
to release the reference.
|
|
1190 |
.sp
|
|
1191 |
Normally, all functions accepting a JSON value as an argument will
|
|
1192 |
manage the reference, i.e. increase and decrease the reference count
|
|
1193 |
as needed. However, some functions \fBsteal\fP the reference, i.e. they
|
|
1194 |
have the same result as if the user called \fBjson_decref()\fP on
|
|
1195 |
the argument right after calling the function. These functions are
|
|
1196 |
suffixed with \fB_new\fP or have \fB_new_\fP somewhere in their name.
|
|

For example, the following code creates a new JSON array and appends
|
|
1199 |
an integer to it:

array = json_array();
|
|
1208 |
integer = json_integer(42);
|
|
1209 |
|
|
1210 |
json_array_append(array, integer);
|
|
1211 |
json_decref(integer);

|

1217 |
Note how the caller has to release the reference to the integer value
|
|
1218 |
by calling \fBjson_decref()\fP\&. By using a reference stealing
|
|
1219 |
function \fBjson_array_append_new()\fP instead of
|
|
1220 |
\fBjson_array_append()\fP, the code becomes much simpler:

In this case, the user doesn\(aqt have to explicitly release the
|
|
1234 |
reference to the integer value, as \fBjson_array_append_new()\fP
|
|
1235 |
steals the reference when appending the value to the array.
|
|
1236 |
.sp
|
|
1237 |
In the following sections it is clearly documented whether a function
|
|
1238 |
will return a new or borrowed reference or steal a reference to its

1239 |
argument.

.SS Circular References
|
|
1241 |
.sp
|
|
1242 |
A circular reference is created when an object or an array is,
|
|
1243 |
directly or indirectly, inserted inside itself. The direct case is
|
|
1244 |
simple:
|
|
1245 |

Jansson will refuse to do this, and \fBjson_object_set()\fP (and
|
|
1258 |
all the other such functions for objects and arrays) will return with
|
|
1259 |
an error status. The indirect case is the dangerous one:
|
|
1260 |
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
1261 |

|
|
1262 |

In this example, the array \fBarr2\fP is contained in the array
|
|
1274 |
\fBarr1\fP, and vice versa. Jansson cannot check for this kind of
|
|
1275 |
indirect circular references without a performance hit, so it\(aqs up to
|
|
1276 |
the user to avoid them.
|
|
1277 |
.sp
|
|
1278 |
If a circular reference is created, the memory consumed by the values
|
|
1279 |
cannot be freed by \fBjson_decref()\fP\&. The reference counts never
|
|
1280 |
drops to zero because the values are keeping the references to each
|
|
1281 |
other. Moreover, trying to encode the values with any of the encoding
|
|
1282 |
functions will fail. The encoder detects circular references and
|
|
1283 |
returns an error status.

The JSON specification only contains one numeric type, "number". The C
|
|
1406 |
programming language has distinct types for integer and floating\-point
|
|
1407 |
numbers, so for practical reasons Jansson also has distinct types for
|
|
1408 |
the two. They are called "integer" and "real", respectively. For more

This is the C type that is used to store JSON integer values. It

represents the widest integer type available on your system. In

Usually, you can safely use plain \fBint\fP in place of

1419 |
\fBjson_int_t\fP, and the implicit C integer conversion handles the

1420 |
rest. Only when you know that you need the full 64\-bit range, you

should use \fBjson_int_t\fP explicitly.

1967 |
This sections describes the functions that can be used to encode
|
|
1968 |
values to JSON. By default, only objects and arrays can be encoded
|
|
1969 |
directly, since they are the only valid \fIroot\fP values of a JSON text.
|
|
1970 |
To encode any JSON value, use the \fBJSON_ENCODE_ANY\fP flag (see
|
|
1971 |
below).
|
|
1972 |
.sp
|
|
1973 |
By default, the output has no newlines, and spaces are used between
|
|
1974 |
array and object elements for a readable output. This behavior can be
|
|
1975 |
altered by using the \fBJSON_INDENT\fP and \fBJSON_COMPACT\fP flags
|
|
1976 |
described below. A newline is never appended to the end of the encoded
|
|
1977 |
JSON data.
|
|
1978 |
.sp
|
|
1979 |
Each function takes a \fIflags\fP parameter that controls some aspects of

|
1980 |
how the data is encoded. Its default value is 0. The following macros
|
|
1981 |
can be ORed together to obtain \fIflags\fP\&.

1986 |
items, and indenting with \fIn\fP spaces. The valid range for \fIn\fP is
|
|
1987 |
between 0 and 31 (inclusive), other values result in an undefined
|
|
1988 |
output. If \fBJSON_INDENT\fP is not used or \fIn\fP is 0, no newlines are

1989 |
inserted between array and object items.

This sections describes the functions that can be used to decode JSON

text to the Jansson representation of JSON data. The JSON

or object, and this requirement is also enforced with the following
|
|
2117 |
functions. In other words, the top level value in the JSON text being
|
|
2118 |
decoded must be either array or object. To decode any JSON value, use

valid JSON text, and issues an error if there\(aqs extra data after
|
|
2155 |
the otherwise valid JSON input. With this flag enabled, the decoder

2157 |
extra data after the JSON text.

Normally, reading will stop when the last \fB]\fP or \fB}\fP in the

JSON input is encountered. If both \fBJSON_DISABLE_EOF_CHECK\fP and

|
2161 |
\fBJSON_DECODE_ANY\fP flags are used, the decoder may read one extra
|
|
2162 |
UTF\-8 code unit (up to 4 bytes of input). For example, decoding
|
|
2163 |
\fB4true\fP correctly decodes the integer 4, but also reads the

|
2164 |
\fBt\fP\&. For this reason, if reading multiple consecutive values that

This section describes functions that help to validate complex values

While a JSON value is unpacked, the type specified in the format
|

2475 |
string is checked to match that of the JSON value. This is the
|
|
2476 |
validation part of the process. In addition to this, the unpacking
|
|
2477 |
functions can also check that all items of arrays and objects are
|
|
2478 |
unpacked. This check be enabled with the format specifier \fB!\fP or by

The first argument of all unpack functions is \fBjson_t *root\fP

Testing for equality of two JSON values cannot, in general, be
|
|
2654 |
achieved using the \fB==\fP operator. Equality in the terms of the
|
|
2655 |
\fB==\fP operator states that the two \fBjson_t\fP pointers point to
|
|
2656 |
exactly the same JSON value. However, two JSON values can be equal not
|
|
2657 |
only if they are exactly the same value, but also if they have equal

.SS Copying
|
|
2691 |
.sp
|
|
2692 |
Because of reference counting, passing JSON values around doesn\(aqt
|
|
2693 |
require copying them. But sometimes a fresh copy of a JSON value is
|
|
2694 |
needed. For example, if you need to modify an array, but still want to
|
|
2695 |
use the original afterwards, you should take a copy of it first.
|
|
2696 |
.sp
|
|
2697 |
Jansson supports two kinds of copying: shallow and deep. There is a
|
|
2698 |
difference between these methods only for arrays and objects. Shallow
|
|
2699 |
copying only copies the first level value (array or object) and uses
|
|
2700 |
the same child values in the copied value. Deep copying makes a fresh
|
|
2701 |
copy of the child values, too. Moreover, all the child values are deep
|
|
2702 |
copied in a recursive fashion.
