## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Compile
|
||||
|
||||
build (release build):
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
make BUILD=release
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To make a debug build just run `make`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Run
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./bin/{release|debug}/json_parser sample.json
|

## Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
Does not support unicode.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
Parsed JSON values are stored as structs containing type information and data.

### Types
|
||||
|
||||
#### JSON Objects
|
||||
|
||||
Object values have the type field set to `(enum json_type) object`
|
||||
|
||||
They are stored using a poorly written map implementation with the type `obj_t`
|
||||
in `json_value.object`
|
||||
|
||||
See [obj_t](#obj_t) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
#### JSON Arrays
|
||||
|
||||
Array values have the type field set to `(enum json_type) array`
|
||||
|
||||
JSON Arrays are stored as null-terminated `json_value*` arrays,
|
||||
`struct json_value**`, in `json_value.array`
|
||||
i.e. `struct json_value**`, in `json_value.array`
