248  * it can also be a string, number or boolean value.
249  *
250  * A partial JSON string can be parsed.  If the parsing is incomplete,
251  * NULL will be returned and json_tokener_get_error() will return
252  * json_tokener_continue.
253  * json_tokener_parse_ex() can then be called with additional bytes in str
254  * to continue the parsing.
255  *
256  * If json_tokener_parse_ex() returns NULL and the error is anything other than
257  * json_tokener_continue, a fatal error has occurred and parsing must be
258  * halted.  Then, the tok object must not be reused until json_tokener_reset()
259  * is called.
260  *
261  * When a valid JSON value is parsed, a non-NULL json_object will be
262  * returned, with a reference count of one which belongs to the caller.  Also,
263  * json_tokener_get_error() will return json_tokener_success. Be sure to check
264  * the type with json_object_is_type() or json_object_get_type() before using
265  * the object.
266  *
267  * Trailing characters after the parsed value do not automatically cause an
268  * error.  It is up to the caller to decide whether to treat this as an
269  * error or to handle the additional characters, perhaps by parsing another
270  * json value starting from that point.
271  *
272  * If the caller knows that they are at the end of their input, the length
273  * passed MUST include the final '\0' character, so values with no inherent
274  * end (i.e. numbers) can be properly parsed, rather than just returning
275  * json_tokener_continue.
276  *
277  * Extra characters can be detected by comparing the value returned by
278  * json_tokener_get_parse_end() against
279  * the length of the last len parameter passed in.
280  *
281  * The tokener does \b not maintain an internal buffer so the caller is
282  * responsible for a subsequent call to json_tokener_parse_ex with an 
283  * appropriate str parameter starting with the extra characters.
284  *
285  * This interface is presently not 64-bit clean due to the int len argument
286  * so the function limits the maximum string size to INT32_MAX (2GB).
287  * If the function is called with len == -1 then strlen is called to check
288  * the string length is less than INT32_MAX (2GB)
289  *

291  * @code
