+<p>This chapter lists the backwards incompatible changes introduced in
+Jansson 2.0, and the steps that are needed for upgrading your code.</p>
+<p><strong>The incompatibilities are not dramatic.</strong> The biggest change is that
+all decoding functions now require and extra parameter. Most programs
+can be modified to work with 2.0 by adding a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">0</span></tt> as the second
+parameter to all calls of <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_loads" title="json_loads"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_loads()</span></tt></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_loadf" title="json_loadf"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_loadf()</span></tt></a>

+<h2>Compatibility<a class="headerlink" href="#compatibility" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Jansson 2.0 is backwards incompatible with the Jansson 1.x releases.
+It is ABI incompatible, i.e. all programs dynamically linking to the
+Jansson library need to be recompiled. It&#8217;s also API incompatible,
+i.e. the source code of programs using Jansson 1.x may need
+modifications to make them compile against Jansson 2.0.</p>
+<p>All the 2.x releases are guaranteed to be backwards compatible for
+both ABI and API, so no recompilation or source changes are needed
+when upgrading from 2.x to 2.y.</p>

+<dt><strong>Decoding flags</strong></dt>
+<dd><p class="first">For future needs, a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">flags</span></tt> parameter was added as the second
+parameter to all decoding functions, i.e. <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_loads" title="json_loads"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_loads()</span></tt></a>,
+<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_loadf" title="json_loadf"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_loadf()</span></tt></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_load_file" title="json_load_file"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_load_file()</span></tt></a>. All calls to
+these functions need to be changed by adding a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">0</span></tt> as the second
+argument. For example:</p>
+<div class="last highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cm">/* old code */</span>
+<span class="n">json_loads</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">input</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">&amp;</span><span class="n">error</span><span class="p">);</span>

+<dt><strong>Underlying type of JSON integers</strong></dt>
+<dd><p class="first">The underlying C type of JSON integers has been changed from
+<tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">int</span></tt> to the widest available signed integer type, i.e.
+<tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">long</span> <span class="pre">long</span></tt> or <tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">long</span></tt>, depending on whether
+<tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">long</span> <span class="pre">long</span></tt> is supported on your system or not. This makes
+the whole 64-bit integer range available on most modern systems.</p>
+<p class="last"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">jansson.h</span></tt> has a typedef <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_int_t" title="json_int_t"><tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_int_t</span></tt></a> to the underlying
+integer type. <tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">int</span></tt> should still be used in most cases when
+dealing with smallish JSON integers, as the compiler handles
+implicit type coercion. Only when the full 64-bit range is needed,
+<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_int_t" title="json_int_t"><tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_int_t</span></tt></a> should be explicitly used.</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><strong>Maximum encoder indentation depth</strong></dt>
+<dd>The maximum argument of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">JSON_INDENT()</span></tt> macro has been
+changed from 255 to 31, to free up bits from the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">flags</span></tt>
+parameter of <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_dumps" title="json_dumps"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_dumps()</span></tt></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_dumpf" title="json_dumpf"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_dumpf()</span></tt></a> and
+<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#c.json_dump_file" title="json_dump_file"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">json_dump_file()</span></tt></a>. If your code uses a bigger indentation
+than 31, it needs to be changed.</dd>
+<dt><strong>Unsigned integers in API functions</strong></dt>
+<dd>Version 2.0 unifies unsigned integer usage in the API. All uses of
+<tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">unsigned</span> <span class="pre">int</span></tt> and <tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">unsigned</span> <span class="pre">long</span></tt> have been replaced
+with <tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">size_t</span></tt>. This includes flags, container sizes, etc.
+This should not require source code changes, as both
+<tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">unsigned</span> <span class="pre">int</span></tt> and <tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">unsigned</span> <span class="pre">long</span></tt> are usually
+compatible with <tt class="xref c c-type docutils literal"><span class="pre">size_t</span></tt>.</dd>
