API should provide functions for determening if the JSON is a scalar / collection

Question

tpecar-ltek opened this issue 3 years ago · 3 comments

I have an application where a request can have either a single scalar or a collection and I need to invoke proper parsers based on that.

JSON_Validate() allows for a single scalar, but then no funcitonality is exposed to determine that in user code.

The functionality is already there, but the functions are declared static, so I can't use them in application code.

Updated issue to include all scalars (as defined by the library source code): string, number, ECMA defined literals (true, false, null)

It would be beneficial if the function performing the check also returns the type of the object, in a similar manner as JSON_SearchT()

I'll close this issue and rephrase it to make it more generic.
