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 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 is anything other than * json_tokener_continue, a fatal error has occurred and parsing must be * halted. Then, the tok object must not be reused until json_tokener_reset() * is called. * * When a valid JSON value is parsed, a non-NULL json_object will be * returned, with a reference count of one which belongs to the caller. 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. * * 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. * * If the caller knows that they are at the end of their input, the length * passed MUST include the final '\0' character, so values with no inherent * end (i.e. numbers) can be properly parsed, rather than just returning * json_tokener_continue. * * Extra characters can be detected by comparing the value returned by * json_tokener_get_parse_end() 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 a subsequent call to 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); if (end_of_input) stringlen++; // Include the '\0' if we know we're at the end of input 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 (json_tokener_get_parse_end(tok) < stringlen) { // Handle extra characters after parsed object as desired. // e.g. issue an error, parse another object from that point, etc... } // Success, use jobj here. @endcode * * @param tok a json_tokener previously allocated with json_tokener_new() * @param str an string with any valid JSON expression, or portion of.
