JSON Parse Error about cjson HOT 11 CLOSED

I don't think this is an issue with cJSON.

Just a wild guess: Depending on your STM32 model, maybe this could be related to caching?
Are you sure your data is complete the moment you start parsing it?

from cjson.

Hi all,
Thanks for you support and sorry for the late reply.
The issue has been resolved, there is a cJSON pointer that hasn't been freed, so after sometimes the memory leak issue occurs and that leads to the json parse error issue.

from cjson.

The JSON examples you show look correct. Perhaps there's a hidden non-printable character in the string coming from the NFC NDEF, or perhaps from noise on the communication channel? When you receive the string, before you parse it, can you print it out in hex bytes and check?

Thanks for the reply.
The problem is this issue comes at random times, If once it is reproduced I can share those logs

from cjson.

Hi,
We got JSON parse error again and we check the hex data and seems it is fine and there are no hidden non printable characters, here is the Log

The text for the record is {"w":"GWiFi","p":"G@dge@n#24it&dp","t":"0,0,26941480,140,170,40,40,100,200,150,29,39,89,45,2,75,75,2"}

Error in json parsing

from cjson.

I used the current version of cJSON to parse your string and it did not give an error. The following code prints "JSON ok":

const char *j = "{\"w\":\"GWiFi\",\"p\":\"G@dge@n#24it&dp\",\"t\":\"0,0,26941480,140,170,40,40,100,200,150,29,39,89,45,2,75,75,2\"}";
cJSON * jo = cJSON_Parse(j);

if (jo) {
    printf("JSON ok\n");
else
    printf("JSON invalid\n");

from cjson.

While testing we seen that sometimes we are getting JSON parse error at exactly 3rd object being gone to parse.
As you can see on the above logs that I shared the error occurred at object "t" is being gone to extract.

from cjson.

For your info Our code is implemented in FreeRTOS on STM32 and the cJSON functions are only called in one thread and not being used in multithread.

from cjson.

We are collecting the whole NFC JSON packets before parsing it.

Hi,
In our code we put more debug logs in cJSON.c file and these are the error logs that we got when we gave valid json to parse, and we are getting error at exact 3rd object when it goes for parsing. This Json has been working for sometimes but after it is getting unable parse.

Hi!
"This Json has been working for sometimes but after it is getting unable parse."

Are you deleting the pointer?
p_json = cJSON_Parse(p_aux_msg);
"cJSON_Delete(p_json)"?
