## Detailed Description

Internal methods for working with json_type_object objects. Although this is exposed by the json_object_get_object() function and within the json_object_iter type, it is not recommended for direct use.

## Macro Definition Documentation

## ◆ JSON_C_STR_HASH_DFLT

#define JSON_C_STR_HASH_DFLT 0

## Function Documentation

## ◆ json_global_set_string_hash()

int json_global_set_string_hash | ( | const int | h | ) |

This function sets the hash function to be used for strings. Must be one of the JSON_C_STR_HASH_* values.

Returns
  0 - ok, -1 if parameter was invalid

## ◆ lh_entry_k()

static void * lh_entry_k | ( | const struct lh_entry * | e | ) |
| inline static

Return a non-const version of lh_entry.k.

lh_entry.k is const to indicate and help ensure that linkhash itself doesn't modify it, but callers are allowed to do what they want with it.

See also
  lh_entry_k_is_constant()

## ◆ lh_entry_k_is_constant()

static int lh_entry_k_is_constant | ( | const struct lh_entry * | e | ) |
| inline static

Returns 1 if the key for the given entry is constant, and thus does not need to be freed when the lh_entry is freed.

See also
  lh_table_insert_w_hash()

## ◆ lh_entry_next()

static struct lh_entry * lh_entry_next | ( | const struct lh_entry * | e | ) |
| inline static

Return the next element, or NULL if there is no next element.

See also
  lh_table_head()
  lh_entry_prev()

## ◆ lh_entry_prev()

static struct lh_entry * lh_entry_prev | ( | const struct lh_entry * | e | ) |
| inline static

Return the previous element, or NULL if there is no previous element.

See also
  lh_table_head()
  lh_entry_next()

## ◆ lh_entry_set_val()

static void lh_entry_set_val | ( | struct lh_entry * | e,
|  | void * | newval
| ) |  |
| inline static

Change the value for an entry. The caller is responsible for freeing the previous value.

## ◆ lh_entry_v()

static void * lh_entry_v | ( | const struct lh_entry * | e | ) |
| inline static

Return a non-const version of lh_entry.v.

v is const to indicate and help ensure that linkhash itself doesn't modify it, but callers are allowed to do what they want with it.

## ◆ lh_get_hash()

static unsigned long lh_get_hash | ( | const struct lh_table * | t,
|  | const void * | k
| ) |  |
| inline static

Calculate the hash of a key for a given table.

This is an extension to support functions that need to calculate the hash several times and allows them to do it just once and then pass in the hash to all utility functions. Depending on use case, this can be a considerable performance improvement.

Parameters

  t | the table (used to obtain hash function)
  k | a pointer to the key to lookup

Returns
  the key's hash

struct lh_table * lh_kchar_table_new | ( | int | size,
|  | lh_entry_free_fn * | free_fn
| ) |  |

Convenience function to create a new linkhash table with char keys.

Parameters

  size | initial table size.
  free_fn | callback function used to free memory for entries.

Returns
  On success, a pointer to the new linkhash table is returned. On error, a null pointer is returned.

## ◆ lh_kptr_table_new()

struct lh_table * lh_kptr_table_new | ( | int | size,
|  | lh_entry_free_fn * | free_fn
| ) |  |

Convenience function to create a new linkhash table with ptr keys.

Parameters

  size | initial table size.
  free_fn | callback function used to free memory for entries.

Returns
  On success, a pointer to the new linkhash table is returned. On error, a null pointer is returned.

## ◆ lh_table_delete()

int lh_table_delete | ( | struct lh_table * | t,
|  | const void * | k
| ) |  |

Delete a record from the table.

If a callback free function is provided then it is called for the for the item being deleted.

Parameters

  t | the table to delete from.
  k | a pointer to the key to delete.

Returns
  0 if the item was deleted.
  -1 if it was not found.

## ◆ lh_table_delete_entry()

int lh_table_delete_entry | ( | struct lh_table * | t,
|  | struct lh_entry * | e
| ) |  |

Delete a record from the table.

If a callback free function is provided then it is called for the for the item being deleted.

Parameters

  t | the table to delete from.
  e | a pointer to the entry to delete.

Returns
  0 if the item was deleted.
  -1 if it was not found.

## ◆ lh_table_free()

void lh_table_free | ( | struct lh_table * | t | ) |

Free a linkhash table.

If a lh_entry_free_fn callback free function was provided then it is called for all entries in the table.

Parameters

  t | table to free.

## ◆ lh_table_head()

static struct lh_entry * lh_table_head | ( | const lh_table * | t | ) |
| inline static

Return the first entry in the lh_table.

  lh_entry_next()

## ◆ lh_table_insert()

int lh_table_insert | ( | struct lh_table * | t,
|  | const void * | k,
|  | const void * | v
| ) |  |

Insert a record into the table.

Parameters

  t | the table to insert into.
  k | a pointer to the key to insert.
  v | a pointer to the value to insert.

Returns
  On success, `0` is returned. On error, a negative value is returned.

## ◆ lh_table_insert_w_hash()

int lh_table_insert_w_hash | ( | struct lh_table * | t,
|  | const void * | k,
|  | const void * | v,
|  | const unsigned long | h,
|  | const unsigned | opts
| ) |  |

Insert a record into the table using a precalculated key hash.

The hash h, which should be calculated with lh_get_hash() on k, is provided by the caller, to allow for optimization when multiple operations with the same key are known to be needed.

Parameters

  t | the table to insert into.
  k | a pointer to the key to insert.
  v | a pointer to the value to insert.
  h | hash value of the key to insert
  opts | if set to JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_CONSTANT_KEY, sets lh_entry.k_is_constant so t's free function knows to avoid freeing the key.
