Problems parsing number with JSMN_STRICT is defined

[mulle-nat]

If you define JSMN_STRICT, then parsing a simple number doesn't work anymore (it does if you undefine JSMN_STRICT):

#define JSMN_STRICT
#include "jsmn.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>


static char  *json = "1";


int main( void)
{
   jsmn_parser   p;
   jsmntok_t     t[128];
   int           r;

   jsmn_init( &p);
   r = jsmn_parse(&p, json, strlen( json), t, 128);
   if( r < 0) 
   {
      printf("Failed to parse JSON: %d\n", r);
      return 1;
   }
   return( 0);
}

This will bail with error 2.

Currently JSMN does not allow anything else than object or array as the root value. This is going to be fixed in the future.

[mulle-nat]

Well it does work, if you don't define JSMN_STRICT though. So your comment isn't entirely correct.

[pt300]

Well, yeah. The non strict mode is.... special. I'd advice against using it personally. In future version it will be either gone or replaced by mode that implements proper standards.

Actually I kinda like the non-strict mode, as I am using jsmn more as a tokenizer and do the verification f.e. of floating point numbers or "true" vs. "thanks" at a later stage.
