4 * IMPORTANT: the name of the library has changed to libjson-c.so and
5 the header files are now in include/json-c.
6 The pkgconfig name has also changed from json to json-c.
7 You should change your build to use appropriate -I and -l options.
8 A compatibility shim is in place so builds using the old name will
9 continue to work, but that will be removed in the next release.
10 * Maximum recursion depth is now a runtime option.
11 json_tokener_new() is provided for compatibility.
12 json_tokener_new_ex(depth)
13 * Include json_object_iterator.h in the installed headers.
14 * Add support for building on Android.
15 * Rewrite json_object_object_add to replace just the value if the key already exists so keys remain valid.
16 * Make it safe to delete keys while iterating with the json_object_object_foreach macro.
17 * Add a json_set_serializer() function to allow the string output of a json_object to be customized.
18 * Make float parsing locale independent.
19 * Add a json_tokener_set_flags() function and a JSON_TOKENER_STRICT flag.
20 * Enable -Werror when building.
21 * speed improvements to parsing 64-bit integers on systems with working sscanf
22 * Add a json_object_object_length function.
23 * Fix a bug (buffer overrun) when expanding arrays to more than 64 entries.
27 * Add a json_object_to_json_string_ext() function to allow output to be
28 formatted in a more human readable form.
29 * Add json_object_object_get_ex(), a NULL-safe get object method, to be able
30 to distinguish between a key not present and the value being NULL.
31 * Add an alternative iterator implementation, see json_object_iterator.h
32 * Make json_object_iter public to enable external use of the
33 json_object_object_foreachC macro.
34 * Add a printbuf_memset() function to provide an effecient way to set and
35 append things like whitespace indentation.
36 * Adjust json_object_is_type and json_object_get_type so they return
37 json_type_null for NULL objects and handle NULL passed to
38 json_objct_object_get().
39 * Rename boolean type to json_bool.
40 * Fix various compile issues for Visual Studio and MinGW.
41 * Allow json_tokener_parse_ex() to be re-used to parse multiple object.
42 Also, fix some parsing issues with capitalized hexadecimal numbers and
44 * Add json_tokener_get_error() and json_tokener_error_desc() to better
45 encapsulate the process of retrieving errors while parsing.
46 * Various improvements to the documentation of many functions.
47 * Add new json_object_array_sort() function.
48 * Fix a bug in json_object_get_int(), which would incorrectly return 0
49 when called on a string type object.

53 * Add a json_tokener_parse_verbose() function.
55 * Improve support for null bytes within JSON strings.
