It can be of any type (including nil). -- -- -- -- ERROR HANDLING -- -- With most errors during decoding, this code calls -- -- JSON:onDecodeError(message, text, location, etc) -- -- with a message about the error, and if known, the JSON text being -- parsed and the byte count where the problem was discovered. You can -- replace the default JSON:onDecodeError() with your own function. -- -- The default onDecodeError() merely augments the message with data -- about the text and the location if known (and if a second 'etc' -- argument had been provided to decode(), its value is tacked onto the -- message as well), and then calls JSON.assert(), which itself defaults -- to Lua's built-in assert(), and can also be overridden. -- -- For example, in an Adobe Lightroom plugin, you might use something like -- -- function JSON:onDecodeError(message, text, location, etc) -- LrErrors.throwUserError("Internal Error: invalid JSON data") -- end -- -- or even just -- -- function JSON.assert(message) -- LrErrors.throwUserError("Internal Error: " .. message) -- end -- -- If JSON:decode() is passed a nil, this is called instead: -- -- JSON:onDecodeOfNilError(message, nil, nil, etc) -- -- and if JSON:decode() is passed HTML instead of JSON, this is called: -- -- JSON:onDecodeOfHTMLError(message, text, nil, etc) -- -- The use of the fourth 'etc' argument allows stronger coordination -- between decoding and error reporting, especially when you provide your -- own error-handling routines. Continuing with the the Adobe Lightroom -- plugin example: -- -- function JSON:onDecodeError(message, text, location, etc) -- local note = "Internal Error: invalid JSON data" -- if type(etc) = 'table' and etc.photo then -- note = note ..
