43
44Significant changes and bug fixes
45---------------------------------
46* Cap string length at INT_MAX to avoid various issues with very long strings.
47* json_object_deep_copy: fix deep copy of strings containing '\0'
48* Fix read past end of buffer in the "json_parse" command
49* Avoid out of memory accesses in the locally provided vasprintf() function
50 (for those platforms that use it)

52* Fix use-after-free in json_tokener_new_ex() in the event of printbuf_new() returning NULL
53* printbuf_memset(): set gaps to zero - areas within the print buffer which
54 have not been initialized by using printbuf_memset
55* printbuf: return -1 on invalid arguments (len < 0 or total buffer > INT_MAX)
56* sprintbuf(): propagate printbuf_memappend errors back to the caller
57
58Optimizations
59--------------
60* Speed up parsing by replacing ctype functions with simplified, faster
61 non-locale-sensitive ones in json_tokener and json_object_to_json_string.
62* Neither vertical tab nor formfeed are considered whitespace per the JSON spec
63* json_object: speed up creation of objects, calloc() -> malloc() + set fields
64* Avoid needless extra strlen() call in json_c_shallow_copy_default() and
65 json_object_equal() when the object is known to be a json_type_string.
66
67Other changes
68-------------
69* Validate size arguments in arraylist functions.
70* Use getrandom() if available; with GRND_NONBLOCK to allow use of json-c
71 very early during boot, such as part of cryptsetup.
72* Use arc4random() if it's available.
73* random_seed: on error, continue to next method instead of exiting the process
74* Close file when unable to read from /dev/urandom in get_dev_random_seed()

92 arrays to be allocated with the exact size needed, when known.
93* Add `json_object_array_shrink()` (and `array_list_shrink()`) and use it in
94 json_tokener to minimize the amount of memory used.
95* Add a json_parse binary, for use in testing changes (not installed, but
96 available in the apps directory).
97
98Build changes
99-------------
100* #639/#621 - Add symbol versions to all exported symbols
101* #508/#634 - Always enable -fPIC to allow use of the json-c static library in
102 other libraries
103* Build both static and shared libraries at the same time.
104* #626 - Restore compatibility with cmake 2.8
105* #471 - Always create directories with mode 0755, regardless of umask.
106* #606/#604 - Improve support for OSes like AIX and IBM i, as well as for
107 MINGW32 and old versions of MSVC
108* #451/#617 - Add a DISABLE_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE cmake option to disable
109 the use of thread-local storage.
110
111Significant changes and bug fixes
112---------------------------------
02fe2e0c
EH
113* Split the internal json_object structure into several sub-types, one for
114 each json_type (json_object_object, json_object_string, etc...).
115 This improves memory usage and speed, with the benchmark under
116 bench/ report 5.8% faster test time and 6%(max RSS)-12%(peak heap)
117 less memory usage.
118 Memory used just for json_object structures decreased 27%, so use cases
119 with fewer arrays and/or strings would benefit more.
e26a1195
EH
120* Minimize memory usage in array handling in json_tokener by shrinking
121 arrays to the exact number of elements parsed. On bench/ benchmark:
122 9% faster test time, 39%(max RSS)-50%(peak heap) less memory usage.
123 Add json_object_array_shrink() and array_list_shrink() functions.
024e835f 124* #616 - Parsing of surrogate pairs in unicode escapes now properly handles
a68566bf 125 incremental parsing.
6eac6986
EH
126* Fix incremental parsing of numbers, especially those with exponents, e.g.
127 so parsing "[0", "e+", "-]" now properly returns an error.
128 Strict mode now rejects missing exponents ("0e").
f23486a3
EH
129* Successfully return number objects at the top level even when they are
130 followed by a "-", "." or "e". This makes parsing things like "123-45"
131 behave consistently with things like "123xyz".
f6f76f94 132
024e835f
EH
133Other changes
134-------------
135* #589 - Detect broken RDRAND during initialization; also, fix segfault
136 in the CPUID check.
137* #592 - Fix integer overflows to prevert out of bounds write on large input.
3bb54f97 138* Protect against division by zero in linkhash, when created with zero size.
024e835f
EH
139* #602 - Fix json_parse_uint64() internal error checking, leaving the retval
140 untouched in more failure cases.

164* With the addition of json_tokener_get_parse_end(), access to internal fields of json_tokener, as well as use of many other symbols and types in json_tokener.h, is deprecated now.
165* The use of Android.configure.mk to build for Android no longer works, and it is unknown how (or if) the new cmake-based build machinery can be used.
166 * Reports of success, or pull requests to correct issues are welcome.
167
168## Notable improvements and new features
169
170### Builds and documentation
171* Build machinery has been switched to CMake. See README.md for details about how to build.
172 * TL;DR: `mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/path ../json-c ; make all test install`
173 * To ease the transition, there is a `cmake-configure` wrapper that emulates the old autoconf-based configure script.
174 * This has enabled improvements to the build on Windows system; also all public functions have been fixed to be properly exported. For best results, use Visual Studio 2015 or newer.
175* The json-c style guide has been updated to specify the use of clang-format, and all code has been reformatted.
176 * Since many lines of code have trivial changes now, when using git blame, be sure to specify -w
177* Numerous improvements have been made to the documentation including function effects on refcounts, when passing a NULL is safe, and so on.
178
179### json_tokener changes
180* Added a json_tokener_get_parse_end() function to replace direct access of tok->char_offset.
181 * The char_offset field, and the rest of the json_tokener structure remain exposed for now, but expect a future release to hide it like is done with json_object_private.h
182* json_tokener_parse_ex() now accepts a new JSON_TOKENER_VALIDATE_UTF8 flag to validate that input is UTF8.
183 * If validation fails, json_tokener_get_error(tok) will return json_tokener_error_parse_utf8_string (see enum json_tokener_error).
184
185### Other changes and additions
186* Add support for unsigned 64-bit integers, uint64_t, to gain one extra bit of magnitude for positive ints.
187 * json_tokener will now parse values up to UINT64_MAX (18446744073709551615)
188 * Existing methods returning int32_t or int64_t will cap out-of-range values at INT32_MAX or INT64_MAX, preserving existing behavior.
189 * The implementation includes the possibility of easily extending this to larger sizes in the future.
190* A total of 7 new functions were added:
191 * json_object_get_uint64 ( struct json_object const* jso )
192 * json_object_new_uint64 ( uint64_t i )
193 * json_object_set_uint64 ( struct json_object* jso, uint64_t new_value )
194 * json_parse_uint64 ( char const* buf, uint64_t* retval )
195 * See description of uint64 support, above.
196 * json_tokener_get_parse_end ( struct json_tokener* tok )
197 * See details under "json_tokener changes", above.
198 * json_object_from_fd_ex ( int fd, int in_depth )
199 * Allows the max nesting depth to be specified.
200 * json_object_new_null ( )
201 * Simply returns NULL. Its use is not recommended.
202* The size of struct json_object has decreased from 96 bytes to 88 bytes.
203
204### Testing
205* Many updates were made to test cases, increasing code coverage.
206* There is now a quick way (JSONC_TEST_TRACE=1) to turn on shell tracing in tests.
207* To run tests, use `make test`; the old "check" target no longer exists.
208
209## Significant bug fixes
210For the full list of issues and pull requests since the previous release, please see issues_closed_for_0.14.md
211
212* [Issue #389](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/389): Add an assert to explicitly crash when _ref_count is corrupted, instead of a later "double free" error.
213* [Issue #407](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/407): fix incorrect casts in calls to ctype functions (isdigit and isspace) so we don't crash when asserts are enabled on certain platforms and characters > 128 are parsed.
214* [Issue #418](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/418): Fix docs for json_util_from_fd and json_util_from_file to say that they return NULL on failures.
215* [Issue #422](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/422): json_object.c:set errno in json_object_get_double() when called on a json_type_string object with bad content.
216* [Issue #453](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/453): Fixed misalignment in JSON serialization when JSON_C_TO_STRING_SPACED and JSON_C_TO_STRING_PRETTY are used together.
217* [Issue #463](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/463): fix newlocale() call to use LC_NUMERIC_MASK instead of LC_NUMERIC, and remove incorrect comment.
218* [Issue #486](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/486): append a missing ".0" to negative double values to ensure they are serialized as floating point numbers.
219* [Issue #488](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/488): use JSON_EXPORT on functions so they are properly exported on Windows.
220* [Issue #539](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/539): use an internal-only serializer function in json_object_new_double_s() to avoid potential conflicts with user code that uses the json_object_userdata_to_json_string serializer.

2380.13 (up to commit 5dae561, 2017/11/29)
239=================================
240
241This release, being three and a half years after the 0.12 branch (f84d9c),
242 has quite a number of changes included. The following is a sampling of
243 the most significant ones.
244
245Since the 0.12 release, 250 issues and pull requests have been closed.
246See issues_closed_for_0.13.md for a complete list.
247
248
249Deprecated and removed features:
250--------------------------------
251* All internal use of bits.h has been eliminated. The file will be removed.
259d5078 252 Do not use: hexdigit(), error_ptr(), error_descrition() and it_error()
b34d26ff
EH
253* lh_abort() is deprecated. It will be removed.
254
255Behavior changes:
256-----------------
257* Tighten the number parsing algorithm to raise errors instead of truncating
258 the results. For example 12.3.4 or 2015-01-15, which now return null.
259 See commit 99d8fc
260
261* Use size_t for array length and size. Platforms where sizeof(size_t) != sizeof(int) may not be backwards compatible
262 See commits 45c56b, 92e9a5 and others.
263
3bb54f97 264* Check for failure when allocating memory, returning NULL and errno=ENOMEM.
b34d26ff
EH
265 See commit 2149a04.
266
267* Change json_object_object_add() return type from void to int, and will return -1 on failures, instead of exiting. (Note: this is not an ABI change)
268
269New features:
270-------------
271* We're aiming to follow RFC 7159 now.
272
273* Add a couple of additional option to json_object_to_json_string_ext:
274 JSON_C_TO_STRING_PRETTY_TAB
275 JSON_C_TO_STRING_NOSLASHESCAPE
276
277* Add a json_object_object_add_ex() function to allow for performance
278 improvements when certain constraints are known to be true.
279
280* Make serialization format of doubles configurable, in two different ways:
281 Call json_object_set_serializer with json_object_double_to_json_string and a custom
282 format on each double object, or
283 Call json_c_set_serialization_double_format() to set a global or thread-wide format.
284
285* Add utility function for comparing json_objects - json_object_equal()
286
287* Add a way to copy entire object trees: json_object_deep_copy()
288* Add json_object_set_<type> function to modify the value of existing json_object's
289 without the need to recreate them. Also add a json_object_int_inc function to
290 adjust an int's value.
291* Add support for JSON pointer, RFC 6901. See json_pointer.h
292* Add a json_util_get_last_err() function to retrieve the string describing the
293 cause of errors, instead of printing to stderr.
294* Add perllike hash function for strings, and json_global_set_string_hash() 8f8d03d
295* Add a json_c_visit() function to provide a way to iterate over a tree of json-c objects.
296
297Notable bug fixes and other improvements:
298-----------------------------------------
299* Make reference increment and decrement atomic to allow passing json objects between threads.
300* Fix json_object_object_foreach to avoid uninitialized variable warnings.
301* Improve performance by removing unneeded data items from hashtable code and reducing duplicate hash computation.
302* Improve performance by storing small strings inside json_object
303* Improve performance of json_object_to_json_string by removing variadic printf. commit 9ff0f49
304* Issue #371: fix parsing of "-Infinity", and avoid needlessly copying the input when doing so.
305* Fix stack buffer overflow in json_object_double_to_json_string_format() - commit 2c2deb87
306* Fix various potential null ptr deref and int32 overflows
307* Issue #332: fix a long-standing bug in array_list_put_idx() where it would attempt to free previously free'd entries due to not checking the current array length.
308* Issue #195: use uselocale() instead of setlocale() in json_tokener to behave better in threaded environments.
309* Issue #275: fix out of bounds read when handling unicode surrogate pairs.
310* Ensure doubles that happen to be a whole number are emitted with ".0" - commit ca7a19
311* PR#331: for Visual Studio, use a snprintf/vsnprintf wrapper that ensures the string is terminated.
312* Fix double to int cast overflow in json_object_get_int64.
313* Clamp double to int32 when narrowing in json_object_get_int.
314* Use strtoll() to parse ints - instead of sscanf
315* Miscellaneous smaller changes, including removing unused variables, fixing warning
316 about uninitialized variables adding const qualifiers, reformatting code, etc...
317
318Build changes:
319--------------
320* Add Appveyor and Travis build support
321* Switch to using CMake when building on Windows with Visual Studio.
322 A dynamic .dll is generated instead of a .lib
323 config.h is now generated, config.h.win32 should no longer be manually copied
324* Add support for MacOS through CMake too.
325* Enable silent build by default
326* Link against libm when needed
327* Add support for building with AddressSanitizer
328* Add support for building with Clang
329* Add a --enable-threading configure option, and only use the (slower) __sync_add_and_fetch()/__sync_sub_and_fetch() function when it is specified.

424 * IMPORTANT: the name of the library has changed to libjson-c.so and
425 the header files are now in include/json-c.
426 The pkgconfig name has also changed from json to json-c.
427 You should change your build to use appropriate -I and -l options.
428 A compatibility shim is in place so builds using the old name will
429 continue to work, but that will be removed in the next release.
