Re: Where do you store raw JSON?

Brad,

The purpose of this subprocedure is to save a STRING VALUE from a node to a stream file. This is useful when one JSON node has been used to store the contents of an entire file (for example, when an XML document has been placed inside a JSON wrapper).

So it is equivalent to YAJL_GET_STRING except that it saves to a stream file instead of returning the result to your program.

It does not convert a YAJL node back to JSON format. If you want to do that, you need to use the YAJL_stringify() routine. (This returns its output to a buffer, not a stream file -- you'd have to write it to a file yourself.)

This doesn't work. It throws an error saying it must be a string. It will
work if you just want to save the value of a string from a node, but it
doesn't appear to let you save the entire JSON string.
