<h3>Description</h3>
<p>I have a json string stored in a variable, and I want to iterate over the values in it. This works if there are integer values in the json string. But if it consists only of string values, jansson_get throws an error.</p>
<p>According to jsonlint, all my json strings are valid.</p>
<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<h4>Reproduction</h4>
<p>This is the part of kamailio.cfg leading to the error:</p>
<pre><code> # Integer json array
$var(myIntList) = '[2,3,4,5]';
xlog("L_INFO", "Integer json string is >>>> $var(myIntList) <<<<");
jansson_get('[0]', $var(myIntList), "$var(intValue)");
xlog("L_INFO", "First Int Element: >> $var(intValue) <<");
jansson_get('[1]', $var(myIntList), "$var(intValue)");
xlog("L_INFO", "Second Int Element: >> $var(intValue) <<");
# String json array
$var(myStringList) = '["foo", "bar", "baz"]';
xlog("L_INFO", "String json string is >>>> $var(myStringList) <<<<");
jansson_get('[0]', $var(myStrList), "$var(strValue)");
xlog("L_INFO", "First Str Element: >> $var(strValue) <<");
jansson_get('[1]', $var(myStrList), "$var(strValue)");
xlog("L_INFO", "Second Str Element: >> $var(strValue) <<");
# Mixed json array
$var(myMixedList) = '[2, "bar"]';
xlog("L_INFO", "Mixed json string (int first) is >>>> $var(myMixedList) <<<<");
jansson_get('[0]', $var(myMixedList), "$var(mixedValue)");
xlog("L_INFO", "First Mixed Element: >> $var(mixedValue) <<");
jansson_get('[1]', $var(myMixedList), "$var(mixedValue)");
xlog("L_INFO", "Second Mixed Element: >> $var(mixedValue) <<");
$var(myMixedList) = '["bar", 2]';
xlog("L_INFO", "Mixed json string (string first) is >>>> $var(myMixedList) <<<<");
jansson_get('[0]', $var(myMixedList), "$var(mixedValue)");
xlog("L_INFO", "First Mixed Element: >> $var(mixedValue) <<");
jansson_get('[1]', $var(myMixedList), "$var(mixedValue)");
xlog("L_INFO", "Second Mixed Element: >> $var(mixedValue) <<");
