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.
In "make html", don't use the -W flag with Sphinx. This makes it
possible to create the documentation with Sphinx 1.0 without errors,
as the warning about using old-style C markup isn't turned to an
error.
Don't build documentation in "make check". Instead, add a new make
target "check-doc" to build the documentation with the -W flag.
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.
This is to free up bits from the flags parameter of json_dump
functions. I'm pretty sure no-one needs 256 spaces of indentation when
pretty-printing JSON values...
This is a backwards incompatible change.
json_int_t is typedef'd to long long if it's supported, or long
otherwise. There's also some supporting things, like the
JSON_INTEGER_FORMAT macro that expands to the printf() conversion
specifier that corresponds to json_int_t's actual type.
This is a backwards incompatible change.
Couple some string and number information from the RFC conformance
chapter in the API reference, and refer to the RFC conformance chapter
from API reference for more information.
Also, state more clearly that a JSON text must have an array or object
as the top-level value, and better document the string comparison
performed by json_equal().
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.
Provide an example usage pattern for reference stealing functions.
This way the user (hopely) sees more clearly how the reference
stealing functions are meant to be used.
When encoding an array or object ends in an error, the visited flag
wasn't zeroed, causing subsequent encoding attempts to fail. This
patch fixes the problem by always zeroing the visited flag.
Encoding an empty array or object worked, but encoding it again
(possibly after adding some items) failed, because the visited flag
(used for detecting circular references) wasn't zeroed.
