Note that several other, incompatible +specifications exist. This implementation does not include any extensions; only +features which are strictly required by the spec are implemented. + +A lexer for JSON values is provided, which may be initialized with [[lex]] and +provides tokens via [[next]], and which uses a relatively small amount of memory +and provides relatively few guarantees regarding the compliance of the input with +the JSON grammar. + +Additionally, the [[value]] type is provided to store any value JSON value, as +well as helpers like [[newobject]], [[get]], and [[set]]. One can load a JSON +value from an input stream into a heap-allocated [[value]] via [[load]], which +enforces all of JSON's grammar constraints and returns an object which must be +freed with [[finish]]. |
