/**
 * Parse a string and return a non-NULL json_object if a valid JSON value
 * is found.  The string does not need to be a JSON object or array;
 * it can also be a string, number or boolean value.
 *
 * A partial JSON string can be parsed.  If the parsing is incomplete,
 * NULL will be returned and json_tokener_get_error() will return
 * json_tokener_continue.
 * json_tokener_parse_ex() can then be called with additional bytes in str
 * to continue the parsing.
 *
 * If json_tokener_parse_ex() returns NULL and the error is anything other than
 * json_tokener_continue, a fatal error has occurred and parsing must be
 * halted.  Then, the tok object must not be reused until json_tokener_reset() is
 * called.
 *
 * When a valid JSON value is parsed, a non-NULL json_object will be
 * returned, with a reference count of one which belongs to the caller.  Also,
 * json_tokener_get_error() will return json_tokener_success. Be sure to check
 * the type with json_object_is_type() or json_object_get_type() before using
 * the object.
 *
 * Trailing characters after the parsed value do not automatically cause an
 * error.  It is up to the caller to decide whether to treat this as an
 * error or to handle the additional characters, perhaps by parsing another
 * json value starting from that point.
 *
 * Extra characters can be detected by comparing the value returned by
 * json_tokener_get_parse_end() against
 * the length of the last len parameter passed in.
 *
 * The tokener does \b not maintain an internal buffer so the caller is
 * responsible for calling json_tokener_parse_ex with an appropriate str
 * parameter starting with the extra characters.
 *
 * This interface is presently not 64-bit clean due to the int len argument
 * so the function limits the maximum string size to INT32_MAX (2GB).
 * If the function is called with len == -1 then strlen is called to check
 * the string length is less than INT32_MAX (2GB)
 *
 * Example:
 * @code
json_object *jobj = NULL;
const char *mystring = NULL;
int stringlen = 0;
enum json_tokener_error jerr;
do {
	mystring = ...  // get JSON string, e.g. read from file, etc...
	stringlen = strlen(mystring);
	jobj = json_tokener_parse_ex(tok, mystring, stringlen);
} while ((jerr = json_tokener_get_error(tok)) == json_tokener_continue);
if (jerr != json_tokener_success)
{
	fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s\n", json_tokener_error_desc(jerr));
	// Handle errors, as appropriate for your application.
}
if (json_tokener_get_parse_end(tok) < stringlen)
{
	// Handle extra characters after parsed object as desired.
	// e.g. issue an error, parse another object from that point, etc...
}
// Success, use jobj here.
