Subject: include/json: Add json_object_get() function
X-Git-Url: https://git.corax.cc/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=31a28850334fb26bd6e8a61f057ea5b72c294627;p=toolbox

include/json: Add json_object_get() function

The json module doesn't provide any functions to retrieve data from
within JSON types, requiring users to call jq (or other parsers)
directly.
This commit adds the json_object_get() function, which allows the user
to retrieve the value of a field in a JSON object.
