JSONGETCOLON

JSONGETCOLON(p,n) checks whether the next character, ignoring whitespace, in a piece of JSON text is a colon. This function returns a size_t 1 value that is equal to the number of bytes read.

If the number of available bytes n is greater than zero, JSONGETCOLON(p,n) attempts to read a colon from the buffer.

  • When the first character after any whitespace is the desired character, a colon, the number of bytes read includes 1 byte for the desired character plus any bytes of whitespace preceding it.
  • When the first character after any whitespace is not the desired character, a value of zero is returned.
