+
+Fixed-Length keys
+=================
+
+The Jansson API allows work with fixed-length keys. This can be useful in the following cases:
+
+* The key is contained inside a buffer and is not null-terminated. In this case creating a new temporary buffer is not needed.
+* The key contains U+0000 inside it.
+
+List of API for fixed-length keys:
+
+* :c:func:`json_object_getn`
+* :c:func:`json_object_setn`
+* :c:func:`json_object_setn_nocheck`
+* :c:func:`json_object_setn_new`
+* :c:func:`json_object_setn_new_nocheck`
+* :c:func:`json_object_deln`
+* :c:func:`json_object_iter_key_len`
+* :c:func:`json_object_keylen_foreach`
+* :c:func:`json_object_keylen_foreach_safe`
+
+**Examples:**
+
+Try to write a new function to get :c:struct:`json_t` by path separated by ``.``
+
+This requires:
+
+* string iterator (no need to modify the input for better performance)
+* API for working with fixed-size keys
+
+The iterator::
+
+    struct string {
+        const char *string;
+        size_t length;
+    };
+
+    size_t string_try_next(struct string *str, const char *delimiter) {
+        str->string += strspn(str->string, delimiter);
+        str->length = strcspn(str->string, delimiter);
+        return str->length;
+    }
+
+    #define string_foreach(_string, _delimiter) \
+            for (; string_try_next(&(_string), _delimiter); (_string).string += (_string).length)
+
+
+The function::
+
+    json_t *json_object_get_by_path(json_t *object, const char *path) {
+        struct string str;
+        json_t *out = object;
+
+        str.string = path;
+
+        string_foreach(str, ".") {
+            out = json_object_getn(out, str.string, str.length);
+            if (out == NULL)
+                return NULL;
+        }
+
+        return out;
+    }
+
+And usage::
+
+    int main(void) {
+        json_t *obj = json_pack("{s:{s:{s:b}}}", "a", "b", "c", 1);
+
+        json_t *c = json_object_get_by_path(obj, "a.b.c");
+        assert(json_is_true(c));
+
+        json_decref(obj);
+    }
