- Ensure that input isn't an empty string
- Ensure that EINVAL errno (which could be optionally returned by
strto{ul|l} is also checked.
- Since strtoul allows '+' and '-' characters in input, ensure that
input which is expected to be an unsigned number doesn't start with
'-'
- Mostly problems with whitespace:
- Use of spaces instead of tabs
- Stray spaces before closing ')
- Missing spaces
- Missing 'void' from function declarations & definitions that
take no arguments.
- Wrong indentation level
json_iter_parse is only meant to work on objects while
json_iter_next is only meant to work on arrays.
This adds checks in both APIs to ensure they aren't being
used incorrectly.
Arrays can now be parsed using the JSON_ARRAY type (stored in
a struct json_iter) then iterated using json_iter_next. When
iterating the type can be checked with json_iter_get_type. For
each iteration the value can be obtained using any of the type
getters (int/uint/boolean/null).
This adds support for boolean, (unsigned) integers, and
null types. JSON_PRIMITIVE should be used as the type when
parsing and the value should be struct json_iter.
Once parsed the actual value can be obtained using one of
the primitive getters. If the type does not match they will
return false.
If using JSON_OPTIONAL with JSON_PRIMITIVE the resulting
iterator can be checked with json_iter_is_valid. If false
the key/value was not found or the type was not matching.
First, this was renamed to 'count_tokens_in_container' to be
more general purpose (i.e. include future array counting).
The way the tokens are counted also changed to be more intuitive.
While the previous way was correct, it was somewhat convoluted in
how it worked (finding the next parent of the objects parent).
Instead we can use the container token itself as the parent and
begin counting tokens. When we find a token with a parent index
less than the target we have reached the end of this container.
This also works for nested containers, including arrays since we
no longer rely on a key (which an array element would not have).
For example::
{
"first":{"foo":"bar"},
"second":{"foo2":"bar2"}
}
index 0 <overall object>
index 1 "first" with parent 0
index 2 {"foo":"bar"} with parent 1
Counting tokens inside "first"'s object we have:
index 3 "foo" with parent 2
index 4 "bar" with parent 3
If we continue counting we reach:
index 5 "second" with parent 0
This terminates the counting loop since the parent index is
less than '2' (the index of {"foo":"bar"} object).
This is a minimal wrapper around jsmn.h to make things a bit easier
for iterating through a JSON object.
To use, first parse the JSON and create a contents object using
json_contents_new(). This object can then be used to initialize a
json_iter object using json_iter_init().
The json_iter object can then be parsed with json_iter_parse by
passing in JSON_MANDATORY/JSON_OPTIONAL arguments. Currently only
JSON_STRING and JSON_OBJECT types are supported. Any JSON_MANDATORY
values that are not found will result in an error.
If a JSON_OPTIONAL string is not found, the pointer will be NULL.
If a JSON_OPTIONAL object is not found, this iterator will be
initialized but 'start' will be -1. This can be checked with a
convenience macro json_object_not_found();
