Added functions are:
* json_string_nocheck()
* json_string_set_nocheck()
* json_object_set_nocheck()
* json_object_set_new_nocheck()
These functions don't check that their string argument is valid UTF-8,
but assume that the user has already performed the check.
This patch changes the sprintf format from "%0.17f" to "%.17g", as the
f format specifier doesn't print the exponent at all. This caused
losing precision in all but the most simple cases.
Because the g specifier doesn't print the decimal fraction or exponent
if they're not needed, a ".0" has to be appended by hand in these
cases. Otherwise the value's type changes from real to integer when
decoding again.
Thanks to Philip Grandinetti for reporting this issue.
- Never append newline to output
- By default, add spaces between array and object items for more
readable output
- Introduce the flag JSON_COMPACT to not add the aforementioned spaces
Failing to do this has the effect that the error message is not
returned when the input file cannot be opened (e.g. if it doesn't
exist).
Thanks to Martin Vopatek for reporting.
It's now an error to try to add an object or array to itself. The
encoder checks for circular references and fails with an error status
if one is detected.
Added functions:
json_string_set
json_integer_set
json_real_set
While at it, clarify the documentation and parameter naming of
json_{string,integer,real}_value() a bit.
Some day we will have ANSI C compatibility... This change doesn't make
the API backwards incompatible because uint32_t was only used in flags
to json_dump*() and the flags are meant to be used only by ORing
constants and macro output, and actually currently only JSON_INDENT
can be used.
In stream_get(), EOF never got it to stream->buffer and because of
this, stream_unget() failed on some situations. This patch makes
stream_get() handle EOF just like any other byte.
As a "side effect", lex_scan_string() now needs to unget the EOF, or
otherwise it ends up in error message on premature end of input.
All pointer arguments are now tested for NULL. json_string() now also
tests that strdup() succeeds. This is to ensure that no NULL values
end up in data structures.
Also desribe the different sources of errors in documentation.
