Re: YAJL_OBJECT_FIND

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lloyd,

That's one odd thing about JSON that I've found...  I would have thought to
be "consistent" that  is would always start as an object name.  This is
case where there is not.

I'm sure Scott and others will provide an answer but with the JSON parser I
put together I set it up so if the JSON starts with an array it simply
wraps another object around the entire thing.  :)

So in your case it would be to retrieve the first element of the array it
would be data[1], data[2] for the second, etc.

So, what my parser does is make:
[
{object1},
{object2},
{object3}
]

into this:
{"data":[
{object1},
{object2},
{object3}
]
}

Just something I thought I'd throw out there since I wrote my JSON parser a
while back before anything was really available.  I personally didn't like
how JSON let you start with an array so I worked around it in my own way.
:)
