Re: Reg: JSON Parsing Error when using Scott Klement's YAJL Parser

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It probably isn't important but you characterized your scenario #2 as 
adding another array to the document.  You haven't added to an array, 
you added a second object to the "data" object.  It's just semantics, 
but it alters the view of the JSON a bit.

I haven't worked with YAJL all that much but within the object you have 
two objects, metadata and data and within the data object in your second 
scenario, you have two objects, playerPin and playerProfile.  I would 
guess that adding a second object shouldn't affect the prior reference:

Scenario 1

data.playerProfile

Scenario 2

data.playerPin

data.playerProfile

Maybe giving us the error message would help us track down the solution....
