Re: Parsing JSON array without a name

[Michael Naughton <mjnaught@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Nihat,

I'm not familiar with YAJL and Scott Klement's API, but it looks to me 
as if your first statement assigns "node" the value of "data", the 
second assigns "node" the value of "generateIds" within "data", and the 
third assigns "node" the value of the first element of the array 
represented by "node" (i.e. "generateIds").

Am I right in guessing that YAJL changes JavasScript arrays to be 
1-based instead of 0-based? If not, that might be your problem, since in 
JavaScript "data.generateIds[1]" is not defined. If so, then I would 
think that you were done after the third statement -- does "node" not 
contain its value? If not, what are the properties of YAJL_ARRAY_ELEM? I 
would think that one of them would have to be something like "VALUE" (?)

Hope this helps,

Mike Naughton
