What happens if someone sends a string with a "{" or "}" inside?
If we get to the end of the buffer without a "}", it calls the
library to convert, will fail, and move on. No damage done (I hope).
Also, a short un-terminated (by "}") string will also exit when no
characters read.
So any invalid JSON string that's send to Jansson will fail to parse,
and the application will be ready for the next (hopefully valid) JSON
string.
No, what i meant is something like this:
{ "json_value": "{"}
According to JSON validator, this is a valid JSON string, but it will
break your code :)
You are correct if this code was designed to be a general purpose JSON
string reader. However, it's only designed to take in strings for this
sample application, and they do not expect any brace characters embedded
within quotes. So I think it's OK for this use case. Patches welcome,
though! :)
Fair enough :)
Thanks,
Dave.
