After looking at the new code for a few days, I didn't like it
anymore. To prepare for the future, a few fields will be added to the
json_error_t struct later.
This reverts commit 23dd078c8d. Some
adjustments were needed because of newer commits.
All decoding functions now accept a json_error_t** parameter and set
it to point to a heap-allocated json_error_t structure if an error
occurs. The contents of json_error_t are no longer exposed directly, a
few functions to do it have been added instead. If an error occurs,
the user must free the json_error_t value.
This makes it possible to enhance the error reporting facilities in
the future without breaking ABI compatibility with older versions.
This is a backwards incompatible change.
As of now, the parameter is unused, but may be needed in the future.
I'm adding it now so that in the future both API and ABI remain
backwards compatible as long as possible.
This is a backwards incompatible change.
Replace all occurences of unsigned int and unsigned long with size_t.
This is a backwards incompatible change, as the signature of many API
functions changes.
With this encoding flag, the object key-value pairs in output are in
the same order in which they were first inserted into the object.
To make this possible, a key of an object is now a serial number plus
a string. An object keeps an increasing counter which is used to
assign serial number to the keys. Hashing, comparison and public API
functions were changed to act only on the string part, i.e. the serial
number is ignored everywhere else but in the encoder, where it's used
to order object keys if JSON_PRESERVE_ORDER flag is used.
