SNOBOL4JSMN(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so welcome to the CSNOBOL4 manual, bestie 💖 this one's all about snobol4jsmn — a SNOBOL4 JSON parser using the JSMN library. yes, that's the whole name. iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

    -INCLUDE 'jsmn.sno'
         data = JSMN_DECODE(string)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Parse JSON data using JSMN (pronounced "jasmine") — a minimalistic JSON parser written in C. that's it, that's the vibe. lowkey elegant, no cap ✨

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

• snobol4(1)
• snobol4json(3)

go read those too, iykyk 🫶

💀 ISSUES 💀

jsmn returns quoted strings as they appear in the JSON file, without interpreting escape sequences (\" \\ \/ \b \f \n \r \u).

so yeah, heads up: the escape sequences stay exactly as they show up in the file. no decoding, no translating, no nothing 🙈 plan accordingly, bestie.
