Input Method

Provides input to the parser.

Syntax

json.input(text, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method provides input to the parser. The parser gets the text input via the Text parameter. The Text is sent to the parser's state machine and appropriate events are fired as a result of the parsing process.

The events are fired only when qualifying conditions (such as, the beginning of a new element) are met. In the meantime, text may be buffered internally. When the parser is finally reset via the Reset method, all buffered text is flushed out through the Characters event.

Example (Parse a JSON File)

JSONControl.Input("jsondata")
