-
In addition to the functions above, there's a common query function
for integers and reals:
This is useful when *value* is newly created and not used after
the call.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
.. function:: int json_array_append(json_t *array, json_t *value)
Appends *value* to the end of *array*, growing the size of *array*
*value*. This is useful when *value* is newly created and not used
after the call.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
.. function:: int json_array_insert(json_t *array, size_t index, json_t *value)
Inserts *value* to *array* at position *index*, shifting the
elements at *index* and after it one position towards the end of
the array. Returns 0 on success and -1 on error.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
.. function:: int json_array_insert_new(json_t *array, size_t index, json_t *value)
Like :func:`json_array_insert()` but steals the reference to
*value*. This is useful when *value* is newly created and not used
after the call.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
.. function:: int json_array_remove(json_t *array, size_t index)
Removes the element in *array* at position *index*, shifting the
elements after *index* one position towards the start of the array.
Returns 0 on success and -1 on error.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
.. function:: int json_array_clear(json_t *array)
Removes all elements from *array*. Returns 0 on sucess and -1 on
error.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
.. function:: int json_array_extend(json_t *array, json_t *other_array)
Appends all elements in *other_array* to the end of *array*.
Returns 0 on success and -1 on error.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
Object
======
Returns the number of elements in *object*, or 0 if *object* is not
a JSON object.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
.. function:: json_t *json_object_get(const json_t *object, const char *key)
.. refcounting:: borrow
really is the case (e.g. you have already checked it by other
means).
- .. versionadded:: 1.2
-
.. function:: int json_object_set_new(json_t *object, const char *key, json_t *value)
Like :func:`json_object_set()` but steals the reference to
*value*. This is useful when *value* is newly created and not used
after the call.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
.. function:: int json_object_set_new_nocheck(json_t *object, const char *key, json_t *value)
Like :func:`json_object_set_new`, but doesn't check that *key* is
really is the case (e.g. you have already checked it by other
means).
- .. versionadded:: 1.2
-
.. function:: int json_object_del(json_t *object, const char *key)
Delete *key* from *object* if it exists. Returns 0 on success, or
Remove all elements from *object*. Returns 0 on success and -1 if
*object* is not a JSON object.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
.. function:: int json_object_update(json_t *object, json_t *other)
Update *object* with the key-value pairs from *other*, overwriting
existing keys. Returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
- .. versionadded:: 1.1
-
The following functions implement an iteration protocol for objects:
*object* only yields all key-value pairs of the object if *key*
happens to be the first key in the underlying hash table.
- .. versionadded:: 1.3
-
.. function:: void *json_object_iter_next(json_t *object, void *iter)
Returns an iterator pointing to the next key-value pair in *object*
Set the value of the key-value pair in *object*, that is pointed to
by *iter*, to *value*.
- .. versionadded:: 1.3
-
.. function:: int json_object_iter_set_new(json_t *object, void *iter, json_t *value)
Like :func:`json_object_iter_set()`, but steals the reference to
*value*. This is useful when *value* is newly created and not used
after the call.
- .. versionadded:: 1.3
-
The iteration protocol can be used for example as follows::
/* obj is a JSON object */
and values to ``":"``. Without this flag, the corresponding
separators are ``", "`` and ``": "`` for more readable output.
- .. versionadded:: 1.2
-
``JSON_ENSURE_ASCII``
If this flag is used, the output is guaranteed to consist only of
ASCII characters. This is achived by escaping all Unicode
characters outside the ASCII range.
- .. versionadded:: 1.2
-
``JSON_SORT_KEYS``
If this flag is used, all the objects in output are sorted by key.
This is useful e.g. if two JSON texts are diffed or visually
compared.
- .. versionadded:: 1.2
-
``JSON_PRESERVE_ORDER``
If this flag is used, object keys in the output are sorted into the
same order in which they were first inserted to the object. For
example, decoding a JSON text and then encoding with this flag
preserves the order of object keys.
- .. versionadded:: 1.3
-
The following functions perform the actual JSON encoding. The result
is in UTF-8.
Returns 0 if they are inequal or one or both of the pointers are
*NULL*.

-
Copying
=======
Returns a shallow copy of *value*, or *NULL* on error.
- .. versionadded:: 1.2
-
.. function:: json_t *json_deep_copy(json_t *value)
.. refcounting:: new
Returns a deep copy of *value*, or *NULL* on error.
